Hello Fellow Nurses,
I was hoping i could get some constructive input regarding my situation.
I just turned 47 and am in good physical shape (thank God) and I am looking at nursing as a 2nd career. I like the idea of working with people and helping them recover from their ailments. I releaze that what's perceived (in the outside world) and what's real (in the work place) are two different things.
I am a straight SWM with no kids or x-wifes (don't ask me how i managed to do that). Based on my previous college degree, It would take me aproximately 2.5 yrs to complete the program so that would make me aprox. 51 yrs old and first year nurse.
1) Does anyone think that my age would limit my working abilities in the field or limit me in anyway in this occupatiion?
2) How do you know if nursing is for you. I like people and am glad to help but i don't have a medical background.
thanks for your constructive input....
