BelleWanderer :
Been a nurse for over 30 years, now based in SoCal, and I totally get you. I’ve worked ICU, dialysis, and different areas of nursing, and now I work remotely in clinical documentation review.
I’m at a point in my nursing career where I’m ready for a simpler life. I find myself looking for a place in the Philippines where I can eventually settle down, live peacefully, and be far from all the noise.
I never got paid as much as you do, but at some point, you realize it’s not always about the money. Living in the US is a dream for so many, and I’m grateful for the opportunities here. But the culture of always working, earning, spending, and needing to earn more just to keep up can wear you out.
