Well, I will tell you that it took me 14 years after I had a major in what I thought I wanted, and it's still worth it. Remember, an education, no matter what it is in, has value. You will be able to apply that knowledge in nursing.
I know how you feel though. My sister is a nurse (and younger than myself) and told me years ago to go back to school. She was right, but I am enjoying it now, even if I should've done this years ago.
Don't feel sad looking back - you can not change it. You know what you want to do - that's awesome! Some people can't figure that out their entire life.
And as far as the time it would take...one idea is to get a CNA certification and start working as one while you are taking prerequisites. That way you can start doing what you love earlier AND it will help your employ-ability when you graduate.
Wind in your sails!

Hey everyone,
Well, I'm not too sad...it's the fact I wasted four good years not going to school for what I've wanted to become the whole time...a nurse. I have no kids, single, and really bummed about how long it's going to take until I can actually apply to nursing school. I have to take A&P 1 and 2, math,chem, and some other classes. Realistically I wouldn't be able to finish until 2015, I want to dedicate my time during upcoming semesters to getting an A in all my classes. My question is, is there a school that I could go into before November of 2016? It's a long azz time and need something more out of life!
