Hi I am wondering if I am to old to start a nursing career? I am 40. I was a CNA in 1988 for 3 months but thats it. I was always a stay at home mom and now im wanting to work and nursing is what my intrest is but I want to be a LPN not a CNA. I also want to know on average as I know it differs from one school to the other how long it will take and how much money will it cost me to go to school.

Your never too old. I am 43 years old and I will be graduating next year at 44. My oldest daughter is starting high school. I am organized and so far haven't had any problems with only two semesters left. You can do anything you put your mind too.

:nuke:You are never too old to start! We have a 51 year old woman with no prior experience in my class right now. She is also doing a lot better than a lot of the younger folks too. Go for it!

I turn 40 this year and just graduated with my BSN in Dec 07. The oldest in my class was 48. You are certainly not too old to start.:up::up:
