040901 - Kathy plans to retire in October at age 65, probably because her
040902 - brother and friends have done this, so there is social pressure for
040903 - her to conform.
040905 - ..
040906 - She is currently working 3 - 4 days a week. Kathy has discussed
040907 - getting part-time work after retirement.
040909 - ..
040910 - Article published today indicates many nurses are taking "retirement,"
040911 - at age 65, then getting jobs with less hours, so they remain active,
040912 - but have flexibilty for other activities.
040914 - ..
040915 - A key fact not presented in the article today, is that retirement at
040916 - age 65 is encouraged through law, primarily the social security
040917 - system, because when the law was passed in the 1930s, most people did
040918 - not live much past 65. Many began feeling the effects of age in late
040919 - 40s and 50s. Today, health care and lifestyle changes that enable and
040920 - encourage people to be physically active, plus avoid smoking,
040921 - drinking, and other substance abuse problems, enables people to be
040922 - physically capable to continue work well into the 80 year old age.
040924 - ..
040925 - Major benefit of continuing in the work force is continuity of
040926 - experience that avoids mistakes of inexperience. Another benefit is
040927 - maintaining a work force with enough people to meet commitments for
040928 - expanding entitlement to health care. This issue is cited in the
040929 - article today, shown below. ref SDS 0 NN9L

040947 - 1. Despite ?imminent retirement? of baby boomers, more
040948 - registered nurses are working longer after age 50,
040949 - researchers find.
040951 - ..
040952 - 2. Those nurses older than age 50 are working 2.5 years more
040953 - than RNs in previous decades, according to David I.
040954 - Auerbach, policy researcher at RAND Corporation, and
040955 - corresponding authors.
040957 - ..
040958 - 3. From 1969 to 1990, almost half of RNs were working until
040959 - age 62, with less than 10% working until age 69, they
040960 - found. From 1991 to 2012, 74% of nurses were working at
040961 - age 62, and almost a quarter were working at age 69.
040963 - ..
040964 - 4. The researchers attribute this trend to the recession and
040965 - the delayed retirement of baby boomer RNs, although the
040966 - trend toward later retirement isn't unique to nursing,
040967 - researchers noted.
040969 - ..
040970 - 5. Plus, changes in care delivery under the Affordable Care
040971 - Act suggest there may be an increase in demand for RNs to
040972 - handle care coordination, management or ambulatory care.
040973 - Older RNs are far more likely to work outside the hospital,
040974 - the analysis showed.
040976 - ..
040977 - 6. "Because many RNs tend to shift out of hospital settings as
040978 - they age, employers seeking RNs for nonhospital roles may
040979 - welcome (and seek to capitalize on) the growing numbers of
040980 - experienced RNs potentially able to fill these positions,"
040981 - the researchers wrote.
040983 - ..
040984 - 7. Findings were concluded by analyzing the age, employment
040985 - status and hours worked of RNs included in the Current
040986 - Population Survey and the American Community Survey.
040988 - ..
040989 - 8. Results were presented at the Academy Health Annual
040990 - Research Meeting in San Diego, CA, on June 9, and published
