Am i too old??

Hello my friends, I need some encouragement...

I got my RN degree in 2007 and moved from Brasil to the US in 2008. Since then I have not been practicing but I can't wait anymore. I tried to work in other industries but it is killing me.

Now I am turning 30yo and feel like I am getting a little too old.

I don't have to go back to school since I have all my credits approved by the NJBN BUT, as a responsible professional, I would like to at least attend refresher course.

Plus, I am deciding whether go for Geriatrics or Midwife... so many decisions.

Are you or do you know anyone that (re)started their careers that late?

I appreciate all your comments!! :)

    I graduated from nursing school at 55! Enrolling in nursing school was one of the best decisions I have made. I also found that I was "energized" by all the young students around me, and except for a very small number, I was warmly welcomed by them. In addition to my school work I did alot of tutoring. I regret that I did not do it earlier. Go for it!! :-)

    Yes! If you want to do it, go for it!

    Yes you are too old. Why would you EVER consider doing it now. Should have done it in your 20's.

    -Just kidding
