[Su360]

Hi,

I'm taking a poll......who is still in Nursing and 50 or over and what field are you in!!

The best of luck to you in your nursing studies....I'm sure the patient's will respond to a more mature attitude.......

Will be 46 next week ICU for me though I absolutely love Home Health and am thinking about going back if I can discipline myself to keep up on the paperwork.

Agree. :)

It is so nice to hear how you love your job. I think once we reach this age

we wouldn't be doing what we don't love. Aren't the elderly wonderful...they are so precious...I too spent some time working in LTC and it was very rewarding......Great to hear from you....Best wishes in your practice.

Regards,

Sue :)

I'm 52 and a night shift charge nurse in a skilled/intermediate LTC facility. Love it!

Hi There,

Are you working days and afternoons or are you still in school?

How do you rate the workload and stress for us 50+ Nurses?? It looks like you work part-time...what degree are you seeking?

I'm 48 but practicing for 50 so I won't be surprised when I get there. (practicing for 50 = saying I'm 50 when people ask how old I am)

And planning to work til I'm 70 because the exhusband really messed up my entire financial picture.
