Is it easier to become a RN if you're a surgical tech already working in the hospital

Is it easier to become an RN if you're a surgical tech already working in the hospital? I am 53, previously worked as a surgical tech, & currently unemployed. I would love to go back to school for RN. I'm still trying to find work as a surgical tech. My plan is to then take up nursing and be an OR circulator, or any other nursing position. But I would be about 3-4 yrs. older by then. My hope is that the hospital would just upgrade my job and I would have better chances, (despite my age), than new grads who did not work at the hospital. What are my chances?

I am unemployed because I was falsely charged with pt. abandonment. I had just worked 12 hrs, no lunch/no breaks. Any advice or comments would be welcome. Thanks!

Yes, the other tech said the dr. never acted like that at the other facility. The nursing mgr. was always abrupt with us & sided with dr. Yet we are the ones taking care of the patients. Also I don't break down like that normally, people say I'm very calm.

Dr. about traumatized me, and no support, but mgt. sure knows who to depend on, don't they, and don't even need to ask.

At the hospital, I had more O/T than anyone, scrub techs or nurses, except one nurse. At the surgicenter, I stayed a lot of times so others could leave early, which they did a lot. It's like they were shocked the one time I left early.
