I'm just curious....most of the nursing students in my courses are about my age....29 give or take a few years...lol....but I was told that the daytime students are a lot younger.

Don't faint, I'm a first year ADN student and probably can't help you...yet. I'm 51 and starting my second career. I am older than all the instructors. In fact, the students often think I am the instructor! It's wonderful. After making a difference in shareholders' pockets for 30+ years, I am going to be making a difference in lives. :)

Specializes in Neuroscience ICU, CNRN, SCRN.

I just started back to school this semester, and I'll be 46 in a few weeks. I've been working in the accounting/financial world since graduating high school nearly 30 years ago! But nursing has always been my dream, and my life has finally got to the point where I can focus on what I want to do with it; not what husband or kids need me do. I get alot of inspiration from all your posts, and feel like I really have a great support network out there.

I am 28, almost 29. I refuse to be called hold I hold that one for my parents. I really thought I would be in the wrong age group by deciding to go back to school now. I am really happy I won't be the only one my age. Whoppee!!:p

I'll be 31 when I finish my ASN. Whew!!

That's right Donnaste, you aren't old you are just beginning!!!! That's how I look at it....:D .....I'll be 31 when I finish my nursing program too....I turned 29 in January. From that day my priorities changed, everything changed. So hold on to that thought of not being old.....you're only as old as you feel. :D

I guess I'm way to old to cut the mustard at 37...I'll be 39 when I receive my RN.

Sorry, I know this thread is for 25-35 year olds, so I'll just take my cane and hobble away.
