Going back to school in my 50's

I'm glad to see this post! I just turned 50 and have been in technology forever but always wanted to get into the health field. Its a bit late but after reading the posts here I don to feel bad at all. I'm just starting my pre-requisites this fall to apply for a AE-MSN Program next year. Anyone has transitioned from having a Bachelors in Business with No Nursing/health Experience to an Nursing Entry Masters program? My first language is Spanish so I thought a good way to put my foot on the door was to finished a Profesional Interpreter Certification which I will use to volunteer at a clinic, would those hours count for the ones I need to apply for my program? Any advise on the volunteer hours I need or any other advise on my next steps since I'm just starting?

Congrats! Your nursing experience and life experience will only add to what you bring with you. I'll be graduating with ADN this year at 50. While I am the oldest student in my class, it hasn't hindered me at all. I love that regardless of how old or young we are, we all bring something special to our nursing practice.

This topic/thread is an inspiration to me. I thought at age 41, it was too late for me to return to nursing school. I start my RN on Monday-- of course I still havea a few pre=nursing courses to finish. But like my friends have told me , it's never too late, and at least I am doing it now.

I wish everyone here the best.
