How old is everyone?

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.

Specializes in Adult and Pediatric Vascular Access, Paramedic.

Hi Cherimcd91,

I am up in your neck of the woods and can tell you to go for it if you are ready. i will say your kids are still young and it may be difficult to do. Assuming you have a husband who is able to help out around the house and with the kids it is doable.

There are many community college programs in your area as well as universities. If you can afford to go right for the BSN, I would. There are fewer and fewer hospitals in MA willing to hire ADN prepared nurses as new grads.

I would also start taking some general education classes just to get your feet wet and lighten the load when you are in the actual nursing program.

Just PM me if you want any more specific information ! Good luck!

I'm new here and an oldie. I'm 43, almost 44. I'm about to start pre-reqs. Debating doing an ADN vs BSN program here in Wichita, KS. I was previously an LVN (in another state) for a few years before becoming a stay at home mom. Now, I'm ready to go back and pursue my RN. Scared of being back in school after so many years!

I'm 43, I finally decided to go back to school when I had my daughter three years ago. Three semesters of upgrading and two semesters of prerequisites, an admission essay to write tomorrow, and hopefully an interview soon. So nervous! I used to sell hotel furniture lol..

I am 25 and just been accepted to an ADN program. I plan on doing an RN-BSN bridge which will add another year so I will be 28 when all is said and done. I hope to get a few years experience in an ICU setting before applying to CRNA school which is another 3 years haha. I know I'm sadistic.
