Is 52 to old for starting nursing program

[soiwanttobeanurse]

Hello, My name is Debbie.

I have been a single mom for many many years, and my last daughter is entering her senior year in high school today.

I have always held jobs that just paid the bills and allowed me to be home when the kids were there.

I would like to start school next fall. (2006) in a RN program, which will last 2 years.

Am I being silly or do you think at my age (I will be 55) when I recieve my degree that I will find work available to me?

Thanks for all your comments in advance

You can do it. There'll be plenty of work around when you get licensed. Good luck and God bless.

No Way! I have two friends one who is 55 and the other is 56 and they are now doing their pre-reqs for nursing and they are amazing- Time has changed and age is no longer a factor-
