im a passholder and i try to visit disneyland 1 time a month:)

i swear it keeps me sane

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!!

If you count the BA classes that transferred, probably early 20s. If you count last semester and this, 38.

I started at 55 will graduate at 59

18 when i started college, 20 when i decided on nursing, i`m 21 now and hopfully will start NS this summer!

Started linguistics at 18, got married and moved to the states at 19, started my nursing pre-req's at 19 as well.

I'm 20 now and will most likely start the ADN program fall 08. My final goal is to get my MSN before 30!

-I was 20 when I started my pre reqs,

-I was 22 when I got my AA,

-I am NOW 23-just finished pre-req. last semester-took organic chemistry & physio @ same time. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO STRESSED OUT IN MY LIFE. I can honestly say THAT LAST SEMESTER was the MOST STRESSFUL SEMESTER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!! and I haven't even started the NS or LVN program yet :sstrs:

-This spring 08 semester I plan to complete my CNA.

-I'll be applying for NS this summer...and hopefully getting in a NS in the spring -09, or august 09 for LVN... I'll be @ 24 starting NS or and 25 starting an LVN program if all goes well. I'll be making my back up plans just incase. :thnkg:

-Finishing @ 26-27 for NS (5 semesters at my school of choice)or Finishing @ about the same age as well for LVN (takes 18 mos...supposedly).

from there I'll move on to my next step.

31y.o when I started my pre-reqs. I am 33y.o and I'm in nursing school. :cheers:

I'll be starting mine in September, and will turn 33 that month.

I am starting my pre-regs. @ 50. I have to work my 4 days to help pay for my son's college and the bills. I would like to do the CNA thing first or maybe look into LPN school. Not sure I have what it takes for NS. Some days I feel my age and other days I feel I can do it. I am so thrilled to see other 50+ peeps here. :cheers: It is inspiring. Please tell me how you guys did it/ and how you are finding the time to study etc. :bugeyes: When ever I say anything about maybe going the LPN route, people say just do the RN thing. Even the resp. therapist say that !! I know my hospital has a Family Health Center wheere they hire LPN's. Or the agencies pay well too I have heard. But they do have places in the ER where they utilize LPN's. I just miss helping people directly (I work in a hospital lab). Do NS's respect that you have completed LPN school ? Does that help you ? I would work part time anyway. How do you do the LPN program and still work during the day ? Thanks for letting me rant. Anyhoo great thread.

This is my first semester. I'm 20 years old.

I started at 55 will graduate at 59

Please tell me your story !!! That is wonderful ! :cheers:
