I am a new nursing student!!! Divorced with 4 kids and a wonderful b/f. This will be my second attempt. The first one I attempted while going through a divorce and had to move about 3 weeks before the end of first semester. And the sickening part is, I was passing with an 86! Age 29 It's gonna be a fight but I will finish in '09 :smiley_ab

I was 38 when I started the practical nursing program. I just started the PN to BScN program this past fall. I will be 43 when I graduate. As much as I wish I had started earlier in life, I don't think I would have been as focused in my twenties. It has taken me this long to figure out what I want to be.

I was 44 when I started LPN school and graduated at 45. After much debating, I am now finishing up my BS in Healthcare Administration at 49. Tough call as to whether or not I'll ever go and get my RN. I love my residents (private LTC), not so much the attitude that Medicare/Medicaid has forced on those who care for those on need, but I hope to try to subvert from the inside when I get a chance after graduation 8-D P.S. I work with two nurses that graduated from nursing school in 1957, the year I was born!!

I started pre-req classes at 46, part time evening nursing classes at 47 as I worked full time during the day. It took 3 years to graduated in 5/05. I now work on an oncology floor at a large teaching hospital and LOVE IT. It's never too late for school and learning. I plan to go on for my masters. My advice- don't worry about your age. Make sure you enjoy what you do and get out there and like Nike says- do it.
