I thought it would be interesting for all of us to share our ages. I'm 27 and I'm pursuing nursing as a second bachelors degree.

I'm 26, in community college, Spring will be my final semester and I can finally apply to nursing school. It's taken me a while to complete my classes due to family issues but I'm almost there!

Guess I'm the baby in the group! I'm 19 and I only have one semester left after the Spring 2018 semester until I transfer to an ASN or BSN program!

I'm 19. I just took my first pre-req for my school's nursing program last semester. I'll be graduating a year late if everything works out as planned. (Long story short: I started off as a pre-nursing major, switched when I got discouraged & now I'm back because I feel like this profession is for me.)

I'll be 42 next month and I am starting the accelerated BSN program At GW in May. My first degree is in history. I quit my job in proposal management last year to complete my prerequisites for the nursing program.
