What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing age discrimination in the field of nursing, particularly for Nurse Practitioners (NPs). Some members share personal experiences of facing age discrimination while others offer advice on how to combat it, such as emphasizing skills, staying current with industry trends, and considering self-employment as a solution. The conversation also touches on the importance of adapting to market demands, continuous learning, and the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the nursing profession.

I'm curious to get some thoughts on this. Do you think it worth getting your NP at the age of 45. I've been a nurse for 20 years and would love to get my masters and become a NP. But would it be worth my time at this age? 

as a NP, I believe  you can have your own clinic;
