  4. I honestly think that can vary from place to place, but if I were to guess purely based on what I personally am seeing, I would say average age of today's nursing student falls somewhere between 25 and 30 years old. I have no statistics backing that up, and it's a a shot in the dark guess. I don't think age really matters. I think it's great that nursing attracts people of all ages, from all different kinds of backgrounds.
  5. I would say at my school its about 23 y.o.
  6. At my school I would say the average is about 30 years old. I'm 24 though

    Hahhaha we should switch I just turned 30 this year
  8. Well, all I can say is we had orientation last week. And I felt OLD! LOL! I am 36. So, in my school alot of them are early to mid 20's.
  9. I'm 36 too. We have a range from just out of high school to a few people in their mid 50s. I've noticed more people my age going back to school.
  10. My first time around the average age was about 26. Four years later, about 35.
  11. We have a very non traditional class. There are 65 of us and all but maybe 15 are over 25. I'm 28 myself. Our youngest is 22 I believe.
  12. I'm in my third year and the average age of my class is early 20's. There are around 5/30 women over the age of 40. This is in Australia
