The story says she cleans offices but she is a registered nurse who was married to a doctor? It is sad but she is only 53 years old and RNs get paid well. RNs earn their money but she should be able to get a decent job as an RN.
She probably let her certification lapse and it’s probably hard to get reinstated these days, with the technology changes. But I DO admire her for doing what hundreds of other Americans don’t do—she got herself a job, even one that many others would consider menial and demeaning.
