I'm 53. I've been an RN for 13 years, but I've been out of it for a year pursuing a business idea. Well, that's come to it's end pretty much, and more than that, I really miss being a nurse and working with my colleagues. And let's face it, being an RN is important, respected, academic and professional. Or at least the public certainly thinks so.
So, I'm coming back in, but this time I want to do it right. I want to get an MSN and teach eventually. Nothing big, but I'd really love to teach CNA classes or maybe be an adjunct at a junior college.
But am I too old now. Have I missed the boat. I'm healthy. I jog and ride a road bike (like a racing 10-speed). Being out for a year makes me feel very unconfident. But my old place says they want me back after the 1st, and a temp agency I worked for wants me back. I just worry about being too old.
