    Why Retired Nurses Should Consider Becoming Adjunct Faculty

    by | Apr 5, 2017 | Nursing Faculty

    The time has never been better for retired nurses to seek part-time work as an adjunct professor. From 2014 to 2034, it is expected that 80 million Americans will retire. For someone to live comfortably in their older years, it is estimated that $1,000,000 would have to be saved up for retirement. That’s a lot of savings. As this number increases each year, part-time employment is going to become scarce. If you are a retired nurse, think about the possibility of going into teaching.

    Preparing the Youth of Today

    Teaching is a very rewarding job. The fact that you are retired means that you have seen it all and can zoom in on all the experience that you have. Nursing is a very demanding field and students deserve to know what is in store for them. Share with them the fulfillment of nursing and feel that you are continuing your part to help others.

    Work when you want

    Many universities have flexible schedules for adjunct faculty. Working specific days and hours can usually be worked around your schedule. This leaves you open to enjoy that retirement, but still have extra income flowing in.

    Keeps you Young and Active

    The average retirement age is 63 years old. You are not ready for the nursing home, but can’t afford to travel around the world. Drawing social security is like having that extra shot of income while not having to work long and hard hours. Few retirees are satisfied with sitting at home. Part-time employment will keep you young and active. It will also give you the opportunity to interact with people.

    Retiring from nursing does not mean that you have to disappear from your dream job of medicine. Get moving and check out different universities and professional organizations that are looking for retirees just like you. Some jobs offer an hourly wage while others pay on a contractual arrangement. Save up for that trip you have always dreamed of or just enjoy helping others that are entering the world of medicine. Your retirement years will turn into your new dream.
