I am almost 30 and want to go back to school for nursing. i have not been in school in 10 years only college credits that i have is eng 101 102. i did take nurse assisting in hs. what is my best bet for going back to school. should i do lpn somewhere or stick it out and go for rn which will take me forever because i have no pre reqs done at all. im just nervous about getting jerked around with classes i dont really need at community college, any advice will greatly be appreciated.

Hey Sammy30,

What is your financial situation like? Do you need to keep working full or part time while you're in school? Are you currently in healthcare or do you work in another field?

There are a lot of options and it can be confusing, but it will help if you start to narrow them down based on what won't work for you. If you're interested in going through a community college or another local college maybe you should contact them to see if they have a suggestion for you or can give you details about what the options are, how long they will take and how much they will cost.

It's never too late to start nursing school in my opinion so have faith and keep going! Researching and picking the right program is one of the hardest parts of nursing school!
