Re: I'm 39 and want to become a nurse.
I just sent you a PM after having read your post in another thread. I am now 40 also an attorney leaving the profession to enter nursing and like I told you in my PM, your posts read as if I had written them, especially the part where you say "being an attorney so goes against my core as a person" .. that's me too!!
In your case, as some have already advised, I would certainly look into accelerated BSN programs - they will be faster tracked than ADN considering you already have a bachelor's AND you will have more opportunities open to you in nursing later on.
Good luck! Look forward to hearing more from you!
