I hit my average but I wanted more leeway. Im i over stressing?

The title kinda says it all. Im smart af. Ill get a 4.0 in prereqs. All I want is a career I can rely on till a retirement at 67-70. I truly want a meaningful job and love the idea of 12 hour shifts even at my age. Am I going to be accepted or thrown under the bus because I am old?

Im an oregon native and pursuing a degree in nursing later in life. The unions in the state have made some impressive agreements. This is attracting a lot of out of state nurses. With the current downturns and with the influx of experienced nurses moving into the state, is there a viable job market? I don't mind the idea of some time at a SNF to build skills but I really hope to be in a 3 12s ED role. Is this unrealistic in current markets. Im in my 50s so building up for decades is unrealistic.
