Not the drip rate. The other one. How many more years of three twelves your back has in it, and what would happen to the mortgage if the answer was none.
Here's what nobody mentions when they tell you nursing is a calling: leaving doesn't have to mean another floor with a different manager. There's a version where you work for yourself. Legal nurse consulting. Independent case management and patient advocacy. Chart and utilisation review on contract. CEU courses and training for other nurses. Medical writing. Whatever your licence and your years already qualify you to do without a badge.
And you have something most people leaving a job don't: you can go per diem first. Drop to two shifts, build the other thing on the days you get back, and leave properly when it covers you.
So the only real question is how much it would have to make. Two numbers and you'll know.
Say it's $5,200 a month and 12 hours a week. That's $143 an hour, once you've set aside 30% of it for tax.
It doesn't cover what the business itself costs to run — software, insurance, materials, whatever your version needs. That comes out on top.
That can look impossible at first, and it's worth knowing why it isn't what it seems. Nobody is hiring you at that rate. It's the price your own work would carry, and prices for expert work don't sit on the same scale as an hourly wage. You'll see where your number lands against the kinds of work that get priced that way.
Whether it's reachable for consulting, review work, or training where you actually are is a real question, and it's the one the report answers. Three specific ideas drawn from what you already do, each researched against live sources you can check, with a range for what it could be earning by month twelve and what would have to change for it to cover your month.
