Thanks, I really needed to see that. I have been struggling with myself as to whether FNP school is worth it right now. I am 51, my youngest is graduating high school this year. I have been a Nurse since 1993, but didn't want to sacrifice any of the time with my kids. I will finish my BSN in December and plan to start FNP in January or May. No regrets for waiting, but the age thing keeps weighing on my mind.
