Pre-nursing

I am 61 yr young. I previously attended nursing Bsn program but had to quit due to finances and couldnt afford to take out more student loans although I did well in school. I am also unemployed. I live in St Louis area. I have never lost desire to finish my nursing degree. I have a BSN in another field. My main problem is financial. Plus I was wondering if my age is a negative factor? A family said I was too old t do anything. I am in great health etc. seems like I have lot of things against me. Any suggestions. Thank you

    At this point in your life, do you really want to incur more debt and work a physically/mentally/emotionally demanding job?How much longer do you plan on working? If you want to work for another 15 years, sure, go back to nursing school. What kind of shape are you in physically? Do you think you can handle being on your feet all day and working 12 hour shifts? It's a bad idea and if people looked at this more realistically instead of with rainbows and unicorn dust, they would say exactly what I just said. I doubt you'll want to be at the bedside for 15 years and retire at 76 with student loan debt. ultimately, the choice is yours but you'd better think long and hard and have an exit plan in place if nursing doesn't work out.

    You can do whatever you put your mind too. Listen to your inner self, if that's what you want to do then do it.
