As the nursing population ages and nurses are looking toward retirement, it is striking to note that there is a paucity of information in the literature about preparing for retirement. Retirement should be a planned activity, not a sudden event. Both authors are retired and have worked through this process with a self-developed process that may be helpful for others contemplating retirement.
