I am also glad to find this thread just this morning. I no longer feel alone! I am 61 years old, went back later in life and graduated with my ADN, Dec. 2006, with honors. Started out at a country hospital on a Med-Surg, Telemetry unit for about a year, where I feared loosing my license daily, but learned a lot. I moved on to new hospital on a Med-Surg, OBS, Telemetry floor, that I loved. I left there in 2011 only due to a move cross-country for my husband's new job and went back to school FT and completed my BSN 2015 but have not returned to nursing yet. Now, I will be moving to OKC next month and am going to be required to take a refresher course to obtain an OK license by Endorsement. I am highly motivated and excited to re-enter nursing and am hoping I won't have a real hard time finding the right job. Any tips, especially from any nurses in OKC area, will be greatly appreciated. And I just want to thank everyone on this thread for what an encouragement you are to all of us on this thread with similar situations.
