Ageism is rampant and some in these responses and it's very pervasive in hospitals c your health and welfare( income) are important factors as retirement or the dream of retirement is considered the sad thing is nurses must work over 30 years for a pension I. encourage your education just be aware of discrimination and yes you need to consider all the points of advice

Yes it's a personal hit it will continue in your practice across your nursing career and it creates a very tangled web of self reflection the key here is not to let it turn to self criticism you need a lot of fortitude review and educate yourself on the intricacies of neonatal IV therapies and collaborate and review current hospital policy and practices with standards partner with wound care and rewrite educate others do a case presentation so many things to do to grow best of motives in caring for our patients is this open approach

You need to get out and take that needed time off I did not do it ended up in performance management and at my age 68 and 42 years in nursing you do NOT want to be in a category 5 hurricane please gather all your stuff off the beach before the tsunami hits
