Oldest practicing Nurse?

Published

I work with a 94 year old Nurse who still is using her RN degree! She will be 95 soon and I was wondering if it's possible to find out the oldest or longest practicing Nurses? I've done a quick google search without much luck... I think it would be cool for her 95th birthday to give her some type of recognition if it exists... She no longer works the floor but does paperwork which she could not do without having her RN! She recently celebrated her 75th anniversary of her graduation from Nursing school!!! Thanks for your help, I have so much respect for this amazing woman.

WOW! What a testament to dedication and work ethic!

She also takes the stairs! Ive tried to tell her that once you are 90 I think it's ok to take the elevator but she just tells me she needs the exercise!!

We would love to publish a story about this nurse. If you can find out more about her.....do an interview.......take pictures. Find out about her schooling, her career...where all she has worked.

I bet the members here could think of some great questions to ask her.

Let me know what you find out. You can send me a PM.
