Is 52 to old to start a career as a RN

Published

Hi all it has been a while since I posted.... I have been working on nursing courses off and on for a while and now I am kind of wondering if I should continue or am I deluding myself. I have been a LPN for over 16 years,,, worked all over, and every few years I get the gut feeling that I should just bite the bullet and return to school for a nursing degree. Well, I start taking courses then something comes up (life) then I put it all on hold, but now I am thinking this is my last kick at the can , my concern is not about taking the courses, it is about finding employment when I finish. I have a full time job now, but sure would like to increase my nursing knowledge and the change in wage would really be beneficial as I head into later years. My other concern is, will I be able to keep up with the young girls... I know I have a lot of experience, but lets face it you young girls tend to process a lot quicker! Fiona.... I know you are out there, what is your take on it.

Southern Ontario is a pretty big place and there Hotel Dieu hospitals in a number of cities - but I do not know of any around here.
