It really depends on what you want. I am 43 right now...graduated at 41 and started my career on a medsurg floor. I managed to stay there for a little over a year. But I had to leave. It was a lot. 12 hour shifts are not that easy. So...knowing what I know now, I would go the office route. You're still a nurse and helping people. Monday to Friday is a dream. I'm guessing weekends and holidays off? Say no more. But this is just me!
