Curious. How many "older" students

[ayndim]

It seems that alot of people are doing nursing for a second career. Just curious. How old is everyone? Who has kids? Is it a mixed group in the professional part of the nursing program (I am still doing pre-reqs)? Where are you living and what school do you plan on going to. BSN or ADN? What area of nursing do you want to go into?

I am 32, will be 33 in August. I am married with 3 kids. I live in Phoenix and will be going to Arizona State University for my BSN. I am doing the BSN rather than the ADN because I would like to be a CNM. Although I am also interested in ICU too.

Hi I am 36, with 3 kids. I live in Jersey and go to school at Widener in Pa. BSN all the way and then on to ICU. In the end I want to be a CRNA. With any luck I will be back in school around 2010 - 2012 for CRNA.

Hey Curious,

I'm 41 this is my second career and I'm wondering if I made the right move. Strike that, I wonder if I'm in the right school. I'm in an accelerated course, but thinking of just going to get my ASD in Nursing. Anyone hear anything about Our Lady of Lourdes in Camden NJ? Let me know. Thanks.
