I will be a new RN graduate soon, at the age of 57. It is strongly recommended at my school that we pursue our BSN. My family & friends are advising against doing this. After much thought, I think they may be right. I'll have loans to pay back, & won't have my BSN until I'm 60-61. I plan to work for about 13 yrs. (& 3 of that will be working on degree)
