I am not looking to reenter the nursing field, just curious as to how difficult it would be to reenter the hospital work force. I have been out of Hospital nursing for 25yrs. I worked in a hospital for approx. 6yrs. I am now in my 50's. Just wondering with all the new technology, and rules how difficult would it be to reenter the work force. I would think that only having 6yrs. hospital experience, it would take more than just a refresher course to get me up to speed functioning in a hospital setting. I also believe my age would be looked at as a deterrent in getting hired. Would be interested in hearing your opinions. Thanks
