My biggest regret about working at night and for so many hours is that I should have spent more time with my kids.

When I worked in PT, before RN school, I had a dear, sweet little ol' lady patient look me dead in the eye and say "Nobody ever lay on their death bed, saying 'I wish I'd spent more time at work.'. Stopped me dead in my tracks and caused a serious rethink about work, etc. After I got out of RN school, especially after I started working for Temp agencies, making a little extra cash, I cut my hours back. I made enough in OT to more than cover taking an extra day off during the week(Advantage of working in the OR).
I have retired with enough.
