Re: I think that I may be the oldest male nursing student when I enter this fall Originally Posted by mmrush1 
I have completed my pre-req's after this semester and have applied to a couple of ADN schools. I've been assured that my scores are high enough to get into either of the schools. I will be 64 years old when I start this fall. I decided after retiring from a career in medical diagnostic sales to do this because it is something that I've always wanted to do. I became interested when serving as a Navy Hospital Corpsman but got sidetracked and ended up with an MBA in Healthcare Administration and a long successful career. Now I am fulfilling a dream. I'm in great physical shape with good longivity genes and expect to work at leat 10 years when I get through school.
Am I the oldest guy doing this?
Might be.
When I graduated 10 years ago, there was a fellow in my class who recently retired from the auto industry (assembly line). He was looking for something to do in retirement. He was 62 when he started school.
Admittedly, I don't know if he's still working as an RN.
Best of luck...there are a lot of fun and convenient things you can do as an RN.
