Thanks in advance!

I don’t know how y’all lasted so long. I’m coming up on four years and I’m tired!

...am I in the wrong place or are most nurses seriously old enough to be ltc patients.?... "65" "72" "54" ..... Just teasing ? but seriously y'all are troopers... Most nurses I work with are much younger and even at our comparatively young age it's exhausting.
OP, I'm 27 and I've been a nurse for 6 years.

"Just Teasing" doesn't make a comment like this okay. Please check yourself for bias and stereotyping.
It is actually very well documented that the aging nursing population is going to be a huge struggle for the United States in the coming years.

Nursing was a second career for me. I worked in business first... but as a single mom had trouble finding steady employment. I have taught nurses in clinical one day a week for about 4 years on the side....some students are older than I am .... so much is perspective!
