Would anyone recommend some good matches of nursing jobs for people over 60 years old? Specifically, some things to do that are not so physically demanding. Thanks.

Hello Aesopian - 

I work in the substance use / recovery field.    Absolutely not physically demanding in any way.   And it's truly rewarding to see people change their lives for the better 🙂 

 We have nurses of all ages.

I turned 60 last year. I work bedside ortho. I was thinking of wound care. I never thought I would but it seems I am the "go to" person for lots of things. I have a new jon and most of the staff has not had a lot of experience with ostomies. I am the dork with my own ostomy scissors  🤣   I was also looking into diabetes education or pain. Right now I still love my job and am able to do it. I may need knee sx so I have to start looking at options.

I am over 65 working as a Clinical Nurse Manager and Educator in home care.  I see other mature nurses working in Performance Improvement.  We even have some mature nurses in the field seeing patients.
