Return to work

Depends on how long you have been retired and what area you will be returning to.

I work a nurse that is in their 80's. I adore them and respect them very much as a person, but they do require pretty extensive help which some shifts can be difficult. 

With the current pandemic I would advise you to delay returning to the front lines, even with advanced age management is fine with sending you to the Covid unit.

Depends. How long have you been retired? Are you still known at your previous place of employment? That would be a good place to start.

Private duty/ hourly in home care needs you! I've done it throughout my career as a second job- and I plan to find the right gig when I transition away from FT employment. 

I think it just depends on the person's level of ability to do tasks. I am in orientation and there was another women who I'd say was in her late 70's to early 80's in orientation with me. She had been a nurse for 44 years and was hired to due PRN work at my network's mental health facility. Despite her age, she was able to finish and pass the dosage and calculation test in the same amount of time as me and four other nurses, and able to do the correct depth and rate of chest compressions for CPR. Never underestimate a nurse because of age; looking at her you wouldn't think she could handle the work, but this woman was on it!
