Is it too late?

I had a pivotal birthday this year - 59 y/o. I've been an RN for 40 yrs and still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. I've spent most of my career in critical care nursing. Although, I've gone down some different paths - some that were questionable in my career but wouldn't trade any of it. Nursing is the best thing I could have ever done. Anyway my question is "Is it to late to get my Masters in Nursing - specializing in Nursing Education"? I'm planning on starting school in Jan of 2021. I've always been an educator of some type in my jobs - preceptor, trainer, patient educator, etc. Love teaching. I work at a teaching institution and really hope I can find my retirement job there. Any suggestions or advice are appreciated!

    No, it is not too late.  I am 61 and finishing my second term of an MSN in education.  Check out Western Governors University.  
    Regards and best wishes.

    Definitely not too late, though you will want to weigh out the cost versus how soon you want to actually retire. Either way, I hope you find happiness!

    Hi NurseSMS

    I won't be able to retire anytime soon. Actually, I'm in no hurry and if I don 't ever retire that's fine. That was one of the reasons I decided to go after my Masters. I have a lot of things going on where I am doing for my family and haven't done anything for myself in a very long time. It's my turn now!

    Thanks!
