:yeah:you have got to be kidding. What do they want and old Mare?

Not sure why this is 'crazy'....they're saying they're not discriminating because of age, and 3 days off per week, with daytime hours-no weekends, won't get hospital benefits, but the hours themselves are a perk.

A lot of old mares still work, and run circles around the 'fillies' with their vast experience. :)

THAT was what was funny. So looking at this ad, if I was retired but "tired" then I guess this job would not be for me. IDK it cracks me up (I'm in my 40's).

Really xt, you usually are one I can count on, now come on here!

I don't get it either.

Lot's of ageism in our society. What's crazy about welcoming a retired nurse to apply?

Maybe he/she will be dealing with senior citizens and the office thinks it is a plus. :confused:
