ICU/HDU

To be honest I doubt age will come into it and you have a numerous years experience to offer. If it is a dream then go for it if nothing more than interview experience and a chance to fulfil a dream. What have you to loose?



Hope you go for it

Mayflower I think that any ICU / HDU manager would jump at the chance to have a mature, experienced nurse join their team. It will be very different and very challenging but exciting. The critical care units I have worked in have all had excellent induction, orientation and development programs for their staff, with supernumerary periods being flexible to meet the needs of the nurse.

Go for a look around the unit and speak to the nurses working there, meet the manager and ask lots of questions.

If it is something you have always wanted to do then go for it, 38 is very young still, you still have another 15 - 20 years left to work if you don't make the break and take on the challenge you may regret it for the rest of your career
