Thanks to all who posted and shared your experiences; I was very upset when I posted that (as illustrated by my typos!). Now I feel much better, more focused and determined. You folks are wonderful! Thanks for the lift. Jonna

I am 51 and I am currently pursuing my BSN. However, I have not trecieved mush encouragement from my colleagues and peers. They seem to think I am too old. I was raised to believe one is never too old for education but I am beuing told I am wasting my time as it is not going to benefit men career wise and these naysayers don't see it as useful personally. I intend to work as long as my mind and body will allow me and since I come from hardy stock, am physically fit and don't look my age AND can hold my own in ICU/CCU I say I have another 19 or 20 yrs to contribute and to learn. Looking for different input, opinions and beliefs on this. What do you think???? Thanks, tigermom

I need some advice also. I am relocating to Seattle in Sept and I am thinking about going as a travel nurse with Aureany advice or feedback on them? maybe going to work as a staff member at a local hospital would be better. I have 18 years experience, 12 years in critical/intnesive care. will await your replies with bated fingers. thank you!!!
