Should I begin a NEW CAREER in nursing at the age of 50? I ask myself this question frequently. However, I have many concerns about whether or not I could keep up; would I have the stamina to cope, given the hectic enviroment of healtcare these days? Would I find support from peers or would they just see me a being too old to be a new nurse? To some of you these questions may sound ridiculous, but to me they are legitimate concerns. I've tried to let go of this idea, but I still yearn for a career in nursing. I would like to hear from anyone who may be experiencing similar issues, or has actually begun a new nursing career this late in life.
