Old gringo, shes only 45, but i guess hospitals are like Airline were 40 years ago and only want 20 year old
Our RV neighbor in Colorado is a traveling contract anesthesiology nurse (age early 60's) in a BIG motor home. She works where and when she wants to and drags down REALLY BIG bucks for her efforts. Her husband, a retired Boeing engineer, is quite happy to be an able mobile/house husband/driver. They are a neat couple.

Is it time to to start, "thinking out of the box"?

However the schools are continuing to push students out the door. Good news is the predicted demand is high in a aging population.

Its just my wife is very smart, and good looking, and has a way with baby's and children, (she put up with me for the last 20 years) :smilelol5:
Uh oh, contrary to all the pablum we're fed, age bias along with several other preferences (read prejudices) still in exist...in all quarters.

Good luck to both of you. :tiphat:

Re: Wife looking for Nursing Job in Houston

Sadly, our friend-in-law who is a highly paid Senior oncology nurse in a DRs. office in B'ham recently told us the same story. New nurses (RN's) who once commanded high sign-on bonuses before graduation are now out looking for jobs after graduation.

Woe is us...and it ain't all Obama's fault.
