Residents are no longer getting younger, they are now growing tails.

I graduated 3 years ago with my AS, in the same year I completed my BSN online while I worked in a post op/med surg GI floor for about a year. Then, for the past two years I have been working as a visiting nurse; however I fell in love with OR nursing when I first heard about it. I have applied everywhere however I have received different responses. Some say I do not have "recent med surg experience"; some say I sort of qualify to be a "new nurse" and recommend me to "get more experience". Others state, I have too much experience and I cannot be trained with the new nurses. What do I do? PLease help.
