Opinions please, am I too old?? - Page 3

I started college from scratch at 47, am now going on 51 with my LPN license and will be starting 3rd semester nursing to hopefully get my RN by next spring.

I also went into first semester nursing when I was 47 with a woman who was 53..........you're not too old..........!!!

GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!! If you really want to do this, I think you should. Don't use age as an excuse for anything. Go for it, go for it, go for it.

If you have any physical problems, then that may put a little damper on things such as late night studying and being your on feet during practice and clinicals. Only you know how far you can push your body.

Do it Sprklplnty...and don't ever look back!!

the average age of nurses
at my job
is 48...

I am in my fifties
working at the bedside
I get tired
but stay fit..
I am not certain I could work at pace fulltime..

your BSN will open doors to many options
I'm with those who advise
you pick carefully
