Nursing @ 32?

Absolutely. Think of it this way: if you retire at 65, you would have had approximately 30 years of working as a nurse! That's even with getting your BSN RN straight out of the gate. If you go for your diploma and RN instead, tack on another year or so to that.

That's a very long career in Nursing. If you want it, jump!

The time is going to pass regardless, may as well spend it working toward something you want.

I'm 38 and I start nursing school in January.

Thanks I really appreciate. I will be picking the form by January, 2018

What? Thats awesome. Thanks for encouragement

Hi everyone. I am Firstina, 32 years of age and a Biochemist. I seriously have the urge to go to nursing school but I am thinking its too late. Pls friends what do you think? Can I start a nursing carrier at 32 years of age. Pls I need all the advice I can get. Thanks everyone as I anticipate your comments.

I started (slowly) when I was about 32. I finished at age 36. It was totally worth it.

late 40's, i'll finish BSN next summer...

I graduated from nursing school when I was 41. You're young yet. If you want to, go for it

Thankd

Better than 33!!!! Look at it that way!

Totally. I just got my degree and am 32. Mind you, it did take quite a while and lots of hard work to get here. There were a hand full of my classmates that were in their 40's. You can do anything if you set your mind to it. Age is only a number.

Thanks everyone. Iam happy for all the advice I got now. I am going for it

In addition, nursing is a tremendously flexible job. In getting older, it might get difficult to, say, work in a neuro floor due to the amount of physical activity involved in turning/moving patients. Then you can pick up another specialty to explore! Numerous L&D nurses I knew were doing it for a change of pace in their careers as they grew older or had changes occurring within their family. If floor nursing isn't for you? You can pick up a job at a clinic! As a nurse, your job will grow alongside you. =)
