    Pursuing an education is ageless. I became a LPN at 28. A RN at 33 then I received my BSN at 45. I will graduate from FNP at the age 49. I also plan on pursing my DNP! I do not feel age should...

    Unfortunately, it is true in some cases. I have seen seasoned nurses literally berate new grads leaving them in tears. I find this behavior self destructive and it will only harm the nursing...
  23. Terminated after 2 months
