Nursing school at age 31 and 34-35? Difference?

It doesn't matter if you go to nursing school at 31, 34 or 35 years of age, your career plans can wait for another three-five years. Since you are pregnant, your priority should be communicating with your husband and reaching a mutual decision about what is the best way for you both to raise your child. As far as choosing a nursing school, go to school in the country in which you plan to live and work.

I don't think age matters at all. However I think that it would be extremely difficult to leave a child for 3 years. Do you plan on working in Vancouver afterwards? I would think it would be simpler to do your education in the country you plan to work in. Otherwise it may take some time to transfer your credentials and you might need to take extra courses too.

School will still be there and you can still do the program in a few years. You don't have to rush! I know you're excited and want to nail down a plan and that's ok. But absolutely nothing wrong with focusing on your family now until your little one is older and then you can focusing on school/nursing. And there is definitely nothing wrong with going to nursing school in your 30's! I did it as a second-career nurse and there were at least a dozen other older people in my classes (many, like you, had small children and had to wait!). Even if you had to wait until your child was in school before going back, that's ok too! The time will go by so fast!
