It's clear that with the nursing shortage, more people of different ages are turning to nursing. I was wondering, if in your experiences, have you seen or do you know of any type of disicrimination towards those who are getting into this profession in their later years? It would seem that younger, foreign nurses would be the preferred choice simply b/c they don't have family concerns, not unlike those who have a narrower working parameters that won't allow them to take certain shifts or work in certain units or maybe have been in the workforce too long to put up with some of the ill-treatment that many have mentioned in other posts.
