There comes a time in every nurse’s career when it may be time to quit a nursing job. It’s rarely a fun decision, but we all must go through it, even when it’s uncomfortable or scary. Uncertainty can throw us off balance, personally or professionally, and life can feel a little less safe when we lose that sense of security. It’s often said that the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t, but then again, there are times when you know it’s time to go,

Responses to a thread on this issue show there are many ways of tackling the problem, albeit with no guarantees that they will work.

I’m old enough that the mantra “follow the money” resonates, and, when it comes to AI, I don’t like where I think the money is ending up.

By GEORGE BEAUREGARD During my years in a bustling metropolitan primary care practice from 1992 to 2010, I recall only a handful of patients under 50 who developed cancer. Not surprisingly, these were mostly cases of Hodgkins and Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, myeloma, skin, and breast cancer. Fortunately, those few patients were wearing the mantle of cancer survivor by the time I left clinical practice.
