Nursing Career

Published

Did any of you start your nursing career from ground zero at the age of 26 or around that age? If so, what were your feelings entering a new field late and are you happy that you did it. Sorry if im being vague but im about to start the path to an RN so I'll be like 29-30 starting a new career. I know there has been people starting older than that but I still feel really late. Thanks for your responses

I started from ground zero at 40 after a career as a police officer. I don't think age is any hinderence at all in getting a job, but competency is. I plan on continuing with the education so there is no place I can't go if I want to. I think 29 is a great age to start as many younger RNs can be immature as they grow in their professions as well as themselves. Good luck!
