Dec 12, '12 by classicdameFemale here - I get discriminated because of age, but in a positive way. I did not start nursing school till I was 45, so by the time I got my first job I was granny. Patients assumed I had the most experience due to my age and would ask for me or seek me out for conversations. Then I would run to the much-younger charge nurse and get the REAL answers. Fun for a short while.BrandonLPN and Orca like this. -

Jan 4 by CountyRatBest answer that I have ever heard for this one is, "Nope. I'm going to care for both males and females."
