Back to College after 20 Years

[azmomof2]

I earned my B.A. twenty years ago, and now I want to become an RN. I was a pre-nursing major for a brief time, even taking Microbiology, Anatomy and Phys I and II. I do not even recall if I finished the courses (I will find out tomorrow when I pick up my unofficial transcripts!) From what I can tell I should take the required nursing pre-reqs, then apply to the Accelerated BSN program in a couple of years. I am committed to doing this and I know it will not be easy. I have a lot of classes to take, and will work full time now with the goal of NOT working once accepted into the 14-month program. Am I on the right path here? Anyone else in my age range on the same path?

Hi, I am going back to school for nursing. I am 39 years old and already have a BS in Marketing. I became an EMT 3 years ago and love it! I am taking my first prereq in Spring 09. It's not too late to start and I am sure you will be a great student second time around.

Good luck!
