I'm 30. I will be 33 when I'm all finished. I started college fresh out of high school, living with mom and dad, dad paying for school, only having to work part time for spending money, cuz I didn't have any bills, but unfortunately, a college degree was not my priority at the time. So, at the age of 28, married, 2 little kids, a full-time job and a mortgage is when I decided, hey, I'm going to get my R.N and make sure my family is taken care of. I always have to do things the hard way!!

A lot of people didn't have the money, the ability, or mommy and daddy helping them out at 18 to go to school then.

My parents - bless them for it - tried to send me to college (footing the bill) 3 times... unfortunately, education wasn't the top on my list of priorities at the time... it took me getting older, and trying to support a family on my own for me to wake up and realized that I not only needed but actually enjoyed school.. go figure. :)

I think most nursing students are 25+ because it requires a lot of maturity and discipline. I did one semester of college right out of highschool and had no direction or goals except to go to the beach, meet guys and go to parties. By the time I turned 25 I realized I needed to get a life and went back to school. Even if I had stayed in college the first time I dont think I would have done well or learned anything because I wasnt focused like I am now.

I am 25 and hopefully will earn my ADN by the time I reach 29. I went to college for three years right out of high school and failed miserably. I was to busy with my social life. Now there is nothing I want more than to be an RN.I just hope that I can get into the program.
