Returning after 17 years out of nursing - page 2

i agree!!

Hi,

I am new here to the board and I have been out of nursing for 19 years. I placed my license on inactive status several years ago and just never got around to reactivating it (life got really busy). I live in Illinois and I am trying to figure out what the situation is with re-entering the field. I am 51 and wondering if, after going through all the "hoops", any place will hire me?

I also live in Fort Lauderdale and was off nursing for a while, took the refreasher course and now working in home health. It's flexable, but a lot of the paperwork. Yes, it is slow right now because of the off-season/ no snowbirds. But there is private duty nursing.
Private message me for more info.

Good Luck!!
