    I am ancient. I am graduating nursing school this year, at 33. I have a 12 year old, 9 year old, and 6 year old. I went back to school when my youngest started full time.

    I'm not a young nurse but I can tell you about my class (I graduated a year ago). I just pulled up our senior picture and of the 28 of us who were photographed, 14 of those were people in their 20's. So 50%.

    The other 50% breaks up this way- About 25% are people in their 30's and about 25% are in their 40's. 2 people are in their 50's.

    I wish I had gone to nursing school when I was younger. 13 hour shifts with my body and having children and responsibilities is HARD. I think it would've been easier to adjust starting when I was younger and healthier. I've had a lot of health issues in the past year so my body isn't in as good a shape as others my age.
