Interesting. I've been looking at doing the opposite. I've been a RN (mostly ED) for several years. I mostly enjoy it, but it can be pretty stressful sometimes.

Interesting. I've been looking at doing the opposite. I've been a RN (mostly ED) for several years. I mostly enjoy it, but it can be pretty stressful sometimes. I started going back to school at a local CC taking math and EE classes last summer when feeling pretty depressed and burned out (getting out and using a different part of my brain, throwing myself at something challenging that's not work has helped tremendously in that part). As far as any age bias, I definitely have not noticed any where I work - I have several co-workers in their 60's and there is no typical age of new hires.
