how do you get a job after 32 years,im 53, and these magnet hospitals want me to get a BSN??? what happened to grandfathered in, and 20% non-BSN...Im so sad:{

smaller community hospitals do not require a BSN.
go to western governors university and get your BSN. you'll be done in a 1 1/2 yr.

It’s not just the BSN. It’s your age and your experience level. Ageism is alive and well in healthcare.

I went back after over 20 years off, was an LPN, got my RN AD, then never worked as one. I ended up taking a 3 week refresher course, two weeks was book work, 1 week on floor. Had no trouble getting job. I think today any hospital will take you if you tell them you are going to work toward your BSN.
