Oct 30, '07 by Euskadi1946I was 46 years old when I graduated from nursing school after a life long dream I got my RN at 46 years old!!!:spin: -
Nov 4, '07 by MNmom3boysI was (am) 37 - and far from the oldest (or youngest) student. Don't worry about your age - follow your dream!

Don't feel like a failure. I've been there, done that, as you can see I was an EN first - you are a nurse as an LPN, first and foremost! Do it in your own time, don't stress yourself out. And don't worry about what others think. Just succeed at what you are doing. Don't think for a minute that being an LPN is not a responsible position because you are still taking responsibility for every action you do, from admission to discharge. Your patients rely on you, your knowledge and your care.
If you want to wait as long as I did to do your RN, then do it. Don't let anyone push you. Enjoy now, and learn...Last edit by nyapa on Nov 5, '07 - Nov 5, '07 by Alois WolfQuote from dar15No... I meant I'll be getting my LPN in a couple years. I'm still a direct care staff at a state institution... but I get your drift. Thanks for the encouragement!EN (similar to LPN - stands for Enrolled Nurse) - 23yrs

When i *FINALLY* get my LPN.. I'll be 24.5! Im in the same boat as you! But dont worry. Still young. Got so much time for a career. All these ladies/men inspire me to do this! Just believe in yourself! You will be fine! - Nov 5, '07 by MNmom3boysQuote from sweetiezBoth of you are so young! I'm on my second career, as were many of my classmates. I would not worry about mid-20's. :spin:Hey! Dont worry! Trust me.Im also 21! (Will be 22 in ONE month! and i cant even start the program untill aug.2008! =( )
