I just turned 50 and after raising children as a SAHM I want to become a CNA, and then enroll in nursing school while working as a CNA. I already have a B.A. degree (in English- aaarrgh, useless!) that I got years ago, and left school with a 3.50 GPA.) The funny thing is, while I was a candy-striper "way back when", and was interested in healthcare, I was always scared of the science classes so I never took any until my last semester in college and guess what? I LOVED 'em! My question is this: Is 50 too old to start a career in nursing, and how difficult is it to find a job out there at my age?
