Hi! I'm 37, married with 4 children (ages 15, 10, 7, and 5). I finished my pre-reqs last semester and will be applying to the RN program in 2 weeks :)!!! We have a pretty long waiting list at my college, so I might not be starting for a year. I'm taking a CNA class right now.

Nursing is my 2nd career. I became a nurse at age 30. I'm now 32, but I don't look a day over 22 according to my patients. Good luck in your journey.
