How old are you?

This is very interesting. they(whoever they are) have said that the average age for nursing students is in the 30's.

I amcurious to see how true this is.

I am going to go to nursing school either this year or next.

I will be either 36 or 37 upon entrance. How about eveyone else?

I am 28, started classes at 26 and will get my BSN at 31.

In response to any who worry it's too late to go back to school, the best advice I ever got: "You're gonna be 35 anyway. Do you just want to be 35? Or, do you want to be 35, with a nursing degree? " God love that woman!

I finished nursing school when I was 30. My class was very diverse. there were only 14 in our class and we ranged in age from 19 to 63.

i just completed my first year of the BSN program i'm 20, if i graduate on time in 2005 i will be 23 turning 24 shortly after graduation. in my class the majority was 18 year old's fresh out of high school with with a handfull of 20 somethings and a couple of thirty somethings.

i just graduated with my bsn, im 22 years old, and will be 23 in September.

Will start the BScN program in September 2002, as my second degree.

I anticipated I'd be one of the older students at 23 years old, but now that I've previewed the rest of this forum, I'm not too sure anymore... I guess I'll just have to see come the fall =o)

I'm 31 and starting my pre-req's June 3. I would like to have those done by the end of the year, but I don't think it will be possible.

I'll probably be 33 when I graduate in the ADN program. I thought all my questions were answered when I met with the nursing advisor earlier this month, now I'm not so sure. :confused:

I am 29 yrs old (30 in the fall) and will have my ADN by the time I am 33. I am taking evening/wkend LPN classes next fall in a 17 month program, and am working on my ADN stuff right now. Sorta doing things in a round about way! Also, I had kids and have been home for 5 years, put hubby through college, bought a house, etc-so I am getting a late start. Better late than never! :):)
