I'm 31 married with a 2 year old. Am I too old to start fnp program?

Published

I have been a nurse for six years. I feel kinda discouraged like maybe I should have become a fnp a long time ago. I'm wondering if school will be much harder now at 31. I had really good grades in school but haven't had to study, write papers, projects etc. in forever and part of me feels like what am I doin starting all over again? I don't know. I don't guess I really have a question but thanks for reading. Any comments are appreciated.

Specializes in ED, Trauma junkie, a little bit of ICU.

I just turned 42 and am starting FNP next month :) I figured it was now or never because I am not getting any younger....

you are not too old.. I was 24 when I graduated but I was the youngest by far. Most people in my program were over 35 some in their 50's and 60's. There's no time like the present.

I just applied to FNP school and I am 30. We can do this!

I'm 35 with a 2 and 3 year old. Starting NP school next month. We can do it together.

You are super young :)

There are many people just starting their pre-reqs to begin nursing school :)
