I have put in an application to study for a bachelors of nursing using the graduate entry fast track method. I have worked in a pathology lab as a scientist for more than ten years but can now not obtain work in the field due to the large number of medical students available who take on the positions while waiting to finish their studies. I am over 50. I have recently completed some study in IT. At my age it is difficult to find work, but I want to work. I am fit, healthy and love doing stuff for others.
When I graduate as a RN, I would like to enter aged care as I seem to always end up looking after the elderly in one way or another and have a good knowledge of difficulties for them.
My question is will I be considered too old at 55 to be a graduate RN worth taking on?
