I'm just wondering, it could be for LPN or RN, how old you were when you completed nursing school. Thank you!

Got my license when I was 45. After many attempts, I will complete my BSN in July just before I turn 61! My husband is a paramedic hoping to start a medic to RN bridge program this fall. Never ever too late.

It's my second career, and I'll be just shy of 30 with a BSN.
I am the second oldest person in my nursing program, so sometimes I feel so late to the game. It's really nice to see that other people left established careers to be a nurse, too. :)

Did a 16month accelerated BSN, turned 36 a few months after I graduated.

I will be 28, I should be about 31-ish when I finish my MSN/MHA Then I will decide whether I want to do a Ph.D.

I will be 26 when I finish nursing school (RN). I was 22 when I finished my non-nursing bachelors.
A girl in my ADN program right now was smart. She did two years of post-secondary to knock out the prerequisites, general education, and science coursework. She will be 20 when she finishes the ADN program because she started right out of high school.

I was 23 when I graduated from my accelerated BSN program, 24 when I got my license. This was my second career (first was social work.)

I started a 4 year nursing program shortly after graduating high school and got my BSN at 22.

I will graduate from my accelerated BSN program a few days before turning 26.
It's funny. On this thread, there are nurses who graduated in their 30s, 40s and 50s. Yet when I typed that I will be turning 26, it still struck me that "Man, I'm getting old!" It's all relative. :)
