    Sam,
    Don't think you are too old! After over twenty years as a nurse I went back to Law school at almost 40 years young. Now I own a legal seminar business and have traveled all over the country teaching nurses how to reduce their chances of being sued. My son and husband are both RN's. You are never to old to follow your dream. If your girlfriend or family is not supportive, to heck with them. Maybe you need a new girlfriend. LOL Good luck.

    Those words have been echoing in my head since I read this post a few days ago. You're so right, that's what help me through nursing school as a single mother of seven, after going through a divorce. However I almost forgot, and would have aborted the goals I'd set for myself. I just need to say Thank You for sharing.

    Wow, thanks and yeah maybe I do make some life changes, lol! My mom is a retired RN and of course she loves that someone in the family is following her.

    Folks like the OP and you should continue sharing your stories, it really motivates people like me, believe it or not.

    Lunah, I absolutely LOVE this blog. It is helping me out so much with my huge decision. I don't even know you and I am so proud of you.
    I didn't realize the competition was so, well, competitive. I am 32 this year, also a former graphic (web, too) designer. nursing is my second career. I loved ER, but ended up in Cardiology. I don't have any certifications (yet) and I got my RN-BSN in 2007.
    I am wondering how competitive the next fiscal year is going to be!
    I'm still debating: active vs reserve.

    I don't think the next FY will be any less competitive, but as an experienced nurse, never doubt that you have an advantage! The training dollars spent on you will be much less, which gives you an edge from a fiscal standpoint.

    I did both web and print. I don't miss it too much, though!
