Why is it, after 50.plus years ,and continued passion and experience as R.N., there is no place for older very qualified nurses that can be valuable for limited per diem work and would be helpful to workplace?
telephone triage - I've been in it for 23 years now and plan to delay retirement until at least 70.
Have you thought about clinical instruction?
Do you think it has something to do with pay????my wife in the same situation, BSN RN with a diploma in computer science over 7yrs experience: admission nurse, wound care, supervisor, floor etc but she started in nursing home and wants to go into her passion ER/OR nursing, licensed in Nv and TX, maybe it has something to do with racial quota he he stay safe nurses
It depends on the job you are in. Bedside nursing can be taxing after age 50, but young 50 year olds can do it.
I worked as a health care manager until I was 70. I also did some home visits, and clinic type visits. I can still do them, but I retired. Now I am bored. May look for teaching position or mentoring.
