I am 23 years old a mother of a 2 year old. I am wanting to become a RN and work in a hospital nearby. I am looking into Austin Community College for a associates degree in Nursing. Is there anyone else who is close in age thinking about nursing? I am intimidated when it comes to nursing as stupid as it sounds i know nurses are there to help but I am terrified I will hurt someone. I want to feel needed and I want to help others. I am very motherly and nurturing naturally. I want to be able to help my family and friends when they are sick and I want to help others. I can overcome my strange feeling when it comes to needles. I know I will grow out of it. I just need to hear that there are others my age who are feeling the same way :/ just some reassurance is nice. :rolleyes:

I'm 27, married, no kids. Will be starting an ABSN summer 14.

I'm 25 starting an ASN program in the fall. I'm super nervous but also excited. I've worked hard to get to this point as I'm sure all of you did so I'm confident that I can do it! You'll do great! We all will as long as we do the best we can and stay focused!! :)

I am 26 and I am single mother to a one year old boy! I currently work full-time and I am taking my last two pre-reqs for the RN program. I have my interview for the program next Tuesday and then I'll be playing that dreaded waiting game for a few weeks. If I get accepted, I will have to drop down to working only Saturdays due to a time conflict with class and the times I normally work during the week.

I was in nursing school at age 18 and started my career before I was 21. I'm almost 23 now and I love it! It's nice to be young and already started on a great career and have little to no college loan debt.

I'm 22 now. I started college at 18 (different major) then at 20 realized I wanted to do nursing so my last semester was prereqs. Then the place I was working at part time went bankrupt so I had to take time off of school to work full time and help them close. Then I moved and had to wait a year to get in state tuition. Now I start school again in a few months :) and if I get in the program when I apply I will be 25 when I become an RN.
