yes this is true

Hi , You sound alot like me. I became an RN in my mid fourties. Now at 51 for the past 4 years I have worked as an emergency room nurse. My mantra since starting school as been. " why not me"? I just work hard and hustle. Anyway to anserw your question I work with a nurse that did that although she didnt have loans she needed the money. In any event she enjoyed it. She said the people were beautiful loving people and the culture was beautiful. She enjoyed every minute of it and is so glad she did it. Please let me know how you do. I say go for it. You sound like a determined person with a good attitude and at least you will never have regrets. Mary

It depends on what you like. I am 51 have been an RN for 7 years 4 of them in the ED. I work with alot of nurses in their early 60's that are in good shape. It depends on how healthy and fit you are.

Im with the doc on this one. I would be annoyed too. The blood pressure is elevated big deal. Were they symptomatic, ie, dyspenic, diaphoretic, chest pain. There was no reason to call.

The only advice I can give is to document in case this happens to you. Then you have the occurances, time, place, etc. Im sure the office of the professions would have something to say about it. No one has the right to put their hands on another.
