I have worked with a few old school nurses who weren't their anymore and they were making BIG nursing mistakes, but they still have the licenses. Now as hard as it to get one do you feel that they should be forced into retirement and stripped of their licenses?

Sweet mother of Elvis, OP. Just how much homework do you have?
Time to get comfortable with the search function on AN (top right corner). There are tons of threads on the topics you've posted already.
Fractured English, contrived errors in spelling, word usage and grammar, maybe the OP is bored and will stop once summer vacation ends.
Those are the least of the issues.This poster has started many threads with debatable/ sensitive topics. Vaguely referred to personal experience with the topic. I have had it with the attention seeking... my last post regarding this mess.
Seeing as others have "stirred the pot" so to say, OP may like these threads that I linked to in another post of the same idea:
Here's one: https://allnurses.com/nurse-colleague...ng-851393.html
And this is a more likely contender: https://allnurses.com/nursing-student...ld-814916.html
And this is probably the exact thread RNsRWe is thinking of: https://allnurses.com/nurse-colleague...up-579931.html
`snif, snif` Frankly, I smell an agenda. The OP also has a thread up asking if all mentally ill people should have a guardian. I'd like to know, to what purpose doth he stir the pot?
Perhaps old bat nurses should have guardians?
If this is, in fact, homework--first off, use your resources and spell check. (I have learned this more than once the hard way).
Secondly, this is a question that requires you to think about and answer based on your own thought processes. What do you think?
And in all seriousness, if you are having that much difficulty with a great deal of your homework, as evidenced by the continued ethical dilemmas that you are not sure how to answer, you need to speak to your academic advisor regarding a tutor.

I work with a ton of "older" nurses and they do not make "big mistakes." That said, I work with a ton of new nurses who make a lot of mistakes. Maybe you just think they are making mistakes, just because they might not do things exactly the way YOU do. I find that the new nurses don't seem to have a lot of actual skills. They expect to learn nursing "on the job" instead of in nursing school. I constantly hear "I never heard of that before," "We didn't learn that in school," etc. etc.
