33yo when I started taking my remedial classes (basic math and basic chem which I didn't get in high school).
38 yo when I started NS due to a 2 year waiting list at my previous school and then a 1 year wait after having to move to another state.

Hi Disneydiva!!
Obviously it looks like from our user names that we have something in common!! I lived in Ontario for 15 years prior to moving to the midwest. Was born and raised a CA girl! Just got back from a trip to Disney World over the holidays!
To answer your question:
49 y/o when I started taking pre-reqs.
52 y/o @ graduation from an ADN program this May!!
Best wishes all!!

I was 18yrs old when I started taking my pre-reqs.... Then I got married, had a child, and had to attend school part time. Now I am 23, and I'm just finishing my pre-classes and getting ready to enter a nursing program even though I completed all my pre classes and could enter an rn program now! Its difficult for me as a mom and full time worker, so I decided to go for my lpn first! I can't find a program just yet but I will, no matter the age never give up! That's exactly what I'm doing!

I am 32, I just finished my pre-reqs, and have not officially been notified that I made it yet. I scored 7.4646 points out of 8 available and I'm hoping that's enough, we'll see!
