    Congratulations on your success. I have been an LPN for the last 28 years. Now at the age of 57, I've decided to pursue my RN degree. I hope I can be as successful as you are.

    I began chipping away at core curriculum classes at our local community college at age 48 in Aug 2007 and graduated with my ASN in Dec 2010. I LOVE being a nurse, and I tell people all the time, "I am proof; it's NEVER too late!" Thanks so much for sharing your story.
