Working hard for most part of your life deserves a long, good rest – hence, retirement. It’s the ultimate reward for all the overtime you took, the pressures of meeting deadlines, and the agonizing feeling of waking up early almost every single day.

For nurses, retirement is an even more appealing possibility, a grand venture into a new life where answering phone calls is not as stressful and you’re allowed to take long lunches. Imagine having to go through crippling hours working on the wards and taking care of countless patients at the expense of one’s own health and even personal life?

Nursing is a noble profession. Nurses are comforted by the fact that they’re helping other people get better and by helping others, they’re helping the world get better. It still doesn’t erase the fact that they’re overworked and sometimes even neglected and underappreciated.

So when a nurse is up for retirement, it’s definitely something to celebrate. And to do just that, we’ve rounded up these funny and inspirational retirement quotes that will strike a cord in you today.
