Thank you Andrea! I’m 69 and still working full time as a Nurse Manager/Specialty Practice Leader. I love my work and continue to learn and pass on to the younger nurses the importance of the increasing technical skills to keep our patients safe, but recognizing the whole person that has the illness we are treating. It’s interesting that people assume that because I’m almost 70 that I should be retiring. We can still be old, and not only wise but still be able to lead. Plus by now we better have our shit together.
Karen RN, I'm also a nurse, and at age 66, have no interest in retirement. Our profession needs our wisdom and insights, and I have lots to contribute!

At 70 I am selling my nursing practice, (to a superb RN on my staff),and opening a somewhat political one. Watch out world. Nurses know too much!
