Homemaker to RN @ 40

Howdy folks...

I am a married mother of 4 boys. I've been a homemaker for the last 10 years (with the occasional seasonal job). After terrible incidents at daycares, my hubby and I decided that it'd be best for me to care for the young ones at home (cheaper, too).

Meanwhile, I've been taking courses over the years in hopes of becoming an RN after my boys are older.

Soon... my boys will be living their own lives and I wanted to be able to pick up where I left off years ago.

QUESTION: Do you think it will be very difficult for a 40 year old to get an RN position?

All comments will be greatly appreciated. ☺

JJL, have you looked at Khan Academy? They have a lot of great information ~ and totally free! They even have NCLEX-RN test prep. :geek:

Sweet. That looks very helpful. I'll start studying this when I start my other class. Thanks!

Depends upon where you live. If you live where there is a nursing shortage, probably not a problem. Age has little to do with nursing positions.
