I want to be a nurse!

Published

Hi!

I'm currently an ACMA/CNA, I'd like to continue my education and become a nurse. I sometimes worry that I'm too old to attempt nursing school, I turn 24 on the 20th of this month lol! I'm also unsure if I should go for my LPN or my 4 year RN. I just get a lot of anxiety about my age and whether or not I'm starting too late, that is one of the many things holding me back from applying and getting started.

Lol. You are only 24. Go to school if you want. You have a solid 40+ working years of your life left.

Pardon me, jessie1414, and I mean this with all due respect:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

I was 26 when I became an LPN and 33 when I became an RN.

There was a lady in my LPN class who was the mother of a childhood chum: She was 52 years at that time.

Go for it! Good luck to you!

You are not too old lol

Here's a tip when you are 24 never refer to yourself as too old for anything other than maybe "too old for chucky cheese"
