Hi there,
I know this post was from awhile ago but I wanted to reply since no one has. I currently work at Childrens as a unit secretary and I will be doing my senior practicum in the NICU. I would definitely recommend volunteering or getting a job to get your foot in the door. There are a lot of younger nurses working there but there are also a lot of older nurses and you're NEVER too old to become an RN. Have you talked to the manager in the dept you volunteer in? I would say get yourself known by the higher ups (Charge Nurses, Managers) and let them know you are VERY interested in working as an RN there. Good Luck!

I currently volunteer over at Denver Childrens and have just started in a BSN nursing program, when I graduate I would love to work at Denver Childrens. Working there I noticed ALOT of the nurses look very young, I wll be 33 when I graduate and wonder if that is too old? Do they like to hire younger nurses? I know 33 isn't quite senior citizen status and this probably seems like a really stupid question but I was just wondering. It has been my dream to work there and I guess just want to know if there is no chance. Also does volunteering help? I know that it s very difficult to get a job there as a new grad but im willing to work my butt off for it. Any suggestions? Will I be to old? Thanks so much for all your help!
