How old are you?

I am thirty-two yrs old and working on my BSN. This is my second degree. There are several in my nursing class who are in their thirties. You are not alone.

I am 26 and working on my BSN and one of the "older" ones in my class. There are however two women in their mid-30's and one woman who is 44. I would estimate the average age of my class to be about 24.

I'm 25 and will graduate in May. There are about 10 students younger than me in our class; the majority are late 20's through mid-thirties.

I am 27 and a junior nursing student. My mother-in-law is also a junior in our nursing program. She will 50 when she graduates next May. So, I guess you can teach an old dog (or lovely lady Ha!) new tricks!

Hello!

I am 40, will be 41 when the RN program starts this Fall and will be 42 when I am finished. I am an LPN of 9 1/2 years and I am in school full time finishing up taking prerequisities and I work in a LTC facility, PRN.

I am in my first semester in the LPN program and I am 30. Took me this long to figure out what I wanted to do. Most of the people in my class are 25-35. I'd like to report also that out of 25 in my class, 15 of them are ESL students. (English as a second language)
