In 199I was offered a full-time position at Merrill Lynch with a high net worth wealth management team. At the time I had a child with special needs at home & I was a struggling single mother. Working at the hospital and in health care in general did not allow me the flexibility needed to assist my child with school & the daily care he required at that time. While I did continue to work part-time/per diem at the hospital from 10/1999 - 06/2001 on weekends & holidays in 07/2001 the wealth management team I was working with offered me a lead position with the group, which included a significant salary increase that allowed me to care for my family without having to work two jobs. I did allow my license to lapse at that time.
