at what age did you start studying nursing?

from what i have seen, a lot of us here are parents or in their 30s. so i was quite curious.

for me, i'm 17 gong 18. i'm only 9 months into my nursing course. in singapore, almost majority of the nurses start studying at 17 or 18 years old.

I started pre-req's at 31. I'll graduate in April & I'm 35 now (I am a part-time student). This is my second degree though, I started my first bachelor's after high school graduation at 18 & graduated at 21.

I started pre requisites at 15, and was 18 at the beginning of nursing school...

I started with my pre-req's when I was 24. I plan to graduate with a ADN when I am 27.

I entered nursing school at the age of 17, and am still going at 47 yrs

I started at 32 - will be 34 in February and will be 36 before I graduate. Better late than never...

I started college at 17, messed around until I was 24 then had kids (got into my junior year working on a Psych degree). Went back to finish up pre-reqs (had most general ed and psych) at 29. Moved after getting into the nursing program at age 3 (sat out two semesters-not by choice), and am moving BACK at age 33. I will be finished at the age of 35! WHOAH!

I'm 26 and in my first semester of nursing school. I started pre-reqs at age 23. I will graduate at 28.

I started pre-reqs very slowly and took about five years doing them, sometimes just one class in a year. But I graduated at the age of 34.

Started at 50, graduated at 53. :D

I started my pre-req's at 24. I'll graduate in May 07' (at 32) with my BSN. I went to school part-time and worked full-time the whole time. I would have been done about two years sooner, but I had two children while going to school and that slowed me down a little.

I started taking pre-reqs at 28, I will be 30 in May, and plan to graduate with an ADN in 2013. I am a SAHM, my kids come first, and I am just taking one class at a time.

I started pre-req's at 17, a week before I turned 18. :)
