I've been declined even an interview at one of my hospitals; said "if you don't have recentclinical experience, within the last 3 years, don't ask for an interview!" what's a 57 yo 2 do, I still have some skills, maturity and the old give a care, that alot of schools can't teach nor holds in high esteem anymore...

You need to do a Refresher Course. For the clinicals if not for the knowledge. This will give you recent experience and proof of competency that the recruiters are looking for. Brookhaven I think is one in Florida. There may be others. Call your board of nursing or the local nursing programs. You can successfully return just have to jump through a few hoops. Stay encouraged.
