Older nurses still want to work!

Published

I am a nurse moving toward "retirement age" but more than willing and able to work full-time.

I left a full-time position almost a year ago due to needing to finalize issues with my parents trust and real estate. I have been applying to hospitals for a med/surg nursing position for 6 months and have had three interviews. I have a very good work ethic and am able to perform nursing duties without accomodation. I feel that my age is hindering my ability to get a new job. That frustrates me but appears to be the fact.

What I really want to know is what type of facility should I apply to that considers older nurses still viable contributors to the medical team?

I like your plan, Dan.
