Reentry can be painful! Seeking suggestions for a soft landing

I recently completed a Nursing Refresher Course after being away from nursing for 19 years. Although I pursued other, more flexible careers that fit my family and added to my repertoire of skills, they were not in nursing. I thoroughly enjoyed my Refresher Course, especially the clinical setting where I quickly became comfortable with the changes that have occurred over the years (luckily, the patient is still the same) and am excited to get back into the swing of hospital nursing. The volumes of reading material made sense, my instructor thought I was wonderful-things were looking great.Then comes the burn of reentry. Because of online apps, I am feeling very challenged to get face to face with the nurse manager. The recruiters look at my years out of nursing and almost unanimously email me that they are looking at other, more qualified prospects. I am really confident that I can perform the duties well and that I would be a great asset to the hospital (as I was the first time I was in nursing). And with my added management, computer, and teaching skills, I am an even better package than I was before. Any ideas on how to overcome this obstacle? Any surefire ways to get to talk to a real person? Your experience and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
