I found there was indeed age discrimination PRE-COVID, now, NO! At 69 y/o I have been Blessed with one of the best and most satisfying and rewarding positions in my entire career.

I graduated from an AD Nursing program in 1973. My GPA was 1.9. I have applied to numerous RN to BSN programs online. I am either rejected or required to retake the electives I received a "D" in plus other required electives. I passed my boards on the first attempt, have worked in specialty care areas throughout my career, have received glowing evaluations, and currently work in research. I am still being punished for my low GPA! I take full full responsibility for my low GPA. My focus in college was on nursing. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank You

Hi Nurse and Beyond, I have been an RN for over 45 years and I still feel incompetent and insecure! I have a niece and nephew who also became nurses, they two feel the same! The longer I stay I nursing the more I realize just how much I DON't KNOW. My niece, nephew and myself all agree, we say a Prayer entering the hospital to protect the patient and we give thanks when we leave we haven't hurt the patient! You just care about your beloved patients!
