Nonchalance &theOlympics while your family crashes

FIB--

I don't know why I didn't think of this before or even if it will help, but my BIL's girlfriend made a similar change when they moved out here to CA. She worked as a surgical nurse at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, mostly in neurological cases. She loved it and found it challenging and fascinating. What she didn't love was the impact on her "real life"--holidays, time available for her boyfriend, etc. So, when she moved out here (and was in high demand, really could choose whatever position she wanted), she ultimately chose to work at a surgical center doing a lot of repetitive, less challenging surgeries. She's a full year in now, and while she misses the challenge, she loves the regular schedule, the pay, and being able to have a normal personal life.

Don't know if that helps much, but I wanted to pass that along.
