I read a lot of the threads and noticed many people express a bit of resentment that they were not able to accomplish nursing school in their early to maybe mid 20s. They are frustrated that they are in their late 20s and beyond and still have a bit of time to go before they are an LPN/RN.
It seems that in this day in age, there's a lot of pressure to do everything fast and when you're really young. I notice that the early 20s seem to have a bit of pride that they accomplished something so young, and even though I am the same age as them I will not be an RN until I am in my late 20s most likely. (Hopefully mid 20s if my program excepts me). I feel a bit jealous that I am not where they are now. I always had this dream of being an RN, and telling people that I am only 23. But most likely that won't happen.
