Yes, dont add the fact that you are working on your MSN, they feel you won't stay very long. You could also look for work in nursing education...best wishes:)

Keep applying don't give up closer to home is better ,don't know you but lol..

Sylvia Jordan: Don't put your high school graduation date on a resume. With an advanced degree, such as you are getting, don't put you college grad date on, either. Just use the date you will receive you MSN.

Employers are not looking for "mature" nurses to work now. They are looking for those who want to work the next 10 years at lower costs. Advanced degrees increase their employee costs at a time when most hospitals are seeking more "rookie" nurses due to the rather cheap cost that they can hire them are. Experienced nurses increase the costs of employment due to various demands through new union contracts.

Also, hospitals are among businesses that are trying to decrease costs through elimination of pension costs that are several decades old. I don't think hospitals can afford 401(k) type retirement options, so they are stuck with the actuary type funding of pensions, which do not guarantee any true funding of the pensions.

Also, due to your time in position you are running up against a law that is rarely enforced. There is a Federal Law against terminating employees that are over 40 years of age. The law states the employers can not move those employees out of certain positions when they reach that age. Management type employees are not hurt be this law, but those that are hourly, s most nurses are, are having hours cut & are basically having to retrain in order to meet the new requirements of a position. Some are able to meet the requirement, but others are not. This type of action should be illegal, but DoL is not enforcing the law as required, as has not for the last decade, or longer.

Hi Sylvia, doctoring down your resume' would be one option, but then you are selling yourself short. I don't think it would be the solution. I don't know how complete your profile is, but you can complete your Jobcase profile and then have a resume created. Try it, it actually works very well, it is the resume that I am currently using. Best wishes.

Where are you located? Have you tried Director of Nursing at out pt ASC??

try a nursing home, they always need good nurses. Or hospice. they also pay well.

dumb it down so you get the job.then once you have it and a position opens, you'll know what they want. then you say you have all the extra you want to expose.

I'm sorry, but I'm laughing a tad. If you CAN POSSIBLY be over educated or over qualified then I guess you can also be just too darn happy. But, you might want to curb your resume. If it looks too good, you may come across as one who would ask for too much money. Ironic, isn't it??

I have the same experience and have an MBA I got in 2016. Lost my job in 2017 and I felt like dumbing.down my resume too. I may get an interview on occasion then they don't call me back. I figure it's age (58), education (too much) or something I'm missing. I've even tried applying 3h away where my son is and not one call. I'm not sure what ot is. But with your degree you could easily teach unless you don't enjoy that. I was torn between NBA and MSN in leadership but the MBA presented an opportunity and I took it. Unfortunately losing my job, they deleted my position, threw a wrench in moving up at my hospital.
