If you all don't mind me asking....how old were you when you started working as an lvn/rn?

[SW_07]

Im 23. This is my first year working as an lpn.

[SAHMU4IA]

31 now, 32 when I graduate next year.

My class has students ranging from 19-51 :). (out of 26 students)

I should have mentioned, that, at 47, I was not the oldest. In a class of 48 (that graduated only 23 students ) there were a few older than me. 4 I think.

lol yup straight out of matriculation college and right into nursing.

i wanted to be a nurse since i was knee high to a grass hopper!! lol

i was hospital trained, i annoyed them so much they took me on. they wanted me to finish my second year of matricuation but i wanted to nurse so badly it hurt.

i am blessed that they could see that is all i wanted to do. never regretted it for a second.

i wish you all the very best with your future plans working as an rn.
