Med math was not my best subject yet i survived. I graduated at age 39. If you wish, contact me at my email, [email protected] and i will gladly share some "secrets to do doing math" with you. Hang in there

Hi: 34? too old? I must share with you that i went into nursing after having been in Viet Nam then being a police officer for 17 years. I had a degree in another field so i didn't have to do any prereqs. I went to nursing school, got my BSN degree and began a new career at age 39. I am now 62, have had diabetes, surgery for cancer and a 6 vessel bypass 5 6ears ago. Oh, I almost forgot, I joined the Army as an RN and an officer upon graduation with waivers and retired from the army as an officer. I am now 61 years old and continue to work as a Travel Nurse. Too old? it is all in your mind. A recent statistic shows that the current trend for graduating nurses is that most are foreign, receive an Associates degree and are aged 50. Hand in there. Take the plunge. Goodluck

I'm an American RN, retired from the US Army Nurse Corps. I have 22 years expericence as a trauma/Emergency Department nurse. I'm looking for a job as an RN/medic on an offshore oil rig. I am continually running into dead ends. Does anyone have a good contact person or company for such jobs. Please feel free to contact me via pm. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have some serious questions about this particular incident. Surely there must be other issues we have not been told about. Things that come to mind are, Were the nurses present the entire shift, what was their charting showing, did they check the patient on a regular basis, and why, if the patient aspirated and this suggests he came to the nurse's station in such condition, why wasn't anesthesia present and why did he even come to their care area?
