My job title is Registered Nurse, Behavioral Health Specialist.
I do love what I do but am ready to be retired, live closer to the beach, take long walks with my honey, watch the sunrises and sunsets.
Working part-time in my field or volunteering would be good too. The area of the chronically mentally ill, particularly with the homeless mentally ill, is a special interest of mine. When Gov. Ronald Reagen emptied the state hospitals and decreased the number of state hospital beds in the 70's, the seriously and persistently mentally ill wound up on our streets. Of course, there are many other reasons for this. It always comes down to money and funding for programs and services. It is a national tragedy, albeit, only one of many we have here in the USA.
