How old were you

Sorry if this is bit of a weird question. I was just curious of how old everyone was when they started nursing school,or how old they will be. Once I start next spring I will be around 32. Is this old to be in nursing school,or are there other people around my age?

I will be 40 when I start nursing program.

I started my first semester of nursing school at 20 and will hopefully graduate at 21 years old. Im the 2nd youngest in my class.

I am currently applying to nursing programs for the fall 2018. I will be 31y/o in June. A degree is still a degree even at 50 lol!

I was 19 years old when I started my freshman year of college. I was not sure on what to study. I thought about business or office work, then nursing struck a chord with me and I have enjoyed it every since. I have worked in long-term care, schools, research, and assisted living. I am a nurse, but in many different specialties. I am thankful for my career and look forward to the future.

Started nursing school at 20. You are never too old. I switched my major to nursing but I was previously aviation when I was 18. Then I took all the prerequisites when I was 19. Now I am a junior in nursing school at 21 and going to graduate at 22.

My school does 3 years of nursing school and 1 year of prerequisites.

just ask yourself how much you want to be a nurse and work hard to get there. You are never too old for anything.

I just passed my first semester of nursing school. I started in August at age 36.

I'm 29 and just starting my pre requirecits.

I just finished my ADN a week ago and I will be 50 in June. I started at 46. I will be starting my BSN in February 2018. This will be my second career. First one is a Surgical Technologist, I went to school at 23. I have always wanted to be a nurse and can't believe I got the change to make my dream come true. I am so happy I did it. Now I'm off to study for that NCLEX...
