Considering Nursing school, need advice

[azgal40]

Hi everyone, I am soon to be 36 years old, and seriously considering nursing school. I started about 12 years ago but do to financial reasons I didn't get far. Every day I regret not finishing. I work full time and have 3 kids. I was wondering if any of you went to school "Later in life" and if so how did you handle raising kids and holding a job while going to school? Quitting work is not an option, so I would love to hear from some of you who have done it. Thanks so much for your time, and have a great day everyone:)

I am 35 and plan to graduate next year from Second Bachelor program. And I have 3 year old. I got a part time job this summer in hospital setting but afraid to think how Im going to manage it in the fall. So far it was OK. One day in a time. It's hard sometimes but I like it.

Go for it girl. At 41 yo, 3 sons and going through a nasty divorce I decided to go to LVN school. I graduated with a 3.8 GPA. I am now a very, very busy surgery nurse and will be going back to school part-time while working to obtain my RN. I will succeed and so will you if you truly have it in your heart! Good luck and keep me posted. :balloons:

You go girl!..

I am in RN program right now and I think oldest person in our class is a guy who is over 50.
