It has taken me 12 years to finally become an RN, all part time, taking care of kids and dying parents.
I am finally here, and have always wanted to work in the hospital. I am worried I won’t be able to keep up. Just turned 50, and recently diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. I feel so depressed right now. Two full 8 hr days back to back in clinic leave me recovering for 2 days. I am bored with clinic work, phone triage.
How are you over 50 nurses handling beside? Can it be done? Are nights less running than day shift?
Thank you!
