Two,years age after I finally retired I was going to let my state license, nat’l certification, and malpractice ins., expire. Then I got a call from our nat’l office convincing me I only needed one or two more continuing education classes to renew, so I took them them and kept renewing for a couple more years. When I think how hard I worked midlife to earn these, it’s hard for me to let go, but this year I have done so. I can’t seem to shake misgivings for doing so which I know at my age probably doesn’t make sense. joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-53551228358334635252017-11-17T05:06:05.663+00:002017-11-17T05:06:05.663+00:00To be a painter there is no annual fee, just disap...To be a painter there is no annual fee, just disappointment, poverty, and a feeling of worthlessness.

Of course I know that but when a woman has been a nurse for 42 years it's just rubber stamping from the previous year There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for squeezing an extra £120 out of already underpaid health professionals.

I kept my HGV licence until I was 66, then had to admit it was a waste of money renewing it again, as I wasn't going to drive again. 32 years on the road, seems like it was someone else behind the wheel now. Time to move on.

California didn't have reciprocity with any other state, but Texas does with several states surrounding it. I would have had to go through the whole enchilada again if I wanted to practice---meaning finding a qualified patient and taking a practical exam, something you only want to do once. I let my California license lapse and ended up working part time in an ophthalmology office for about three years until the grandkids started arriving. It was interesting work and I learned a lot.
