About NurseWorth
I have been a registered nurse (RN) since 2010 and a family nurse practitioner since 2018, practicing in post-acute care. I thoroughly enjoy the nursing profession and the opportunities and relationships I have experienced as a nurse and now nurse practitioner.
NurseWorth is about my journey as a nurse towards financial independence. Financial independence is not something that nurse practitioners talk about. Most nurse practitioners assume they will work for 30-40 years and then retire in their mid-60s.
At NurseWorth, I want to challenge this assumption and instead become financially independent in 10-15 years. I like the term Financial Independence (FI) rather than retirement because I don’t plan on retiring from life in 10-15 years. Financial independence is not laziness rather it is a freedom to pursue life without the restraints of having to work paycheck to paycheck. NurseWorth is all about the journey in pursuing this lifestyle.
