Hello! I am going back to nursing school at age 55 and I haven't been in school since 1985! Definitely take the prereqs at a community college! Cheaper and probably easier than at a university. I am getting my ADN from the community college as well. It is incredibly competitive to earn a spot but I did it!! After the ADN, I will transfer to the bridge for a BSN at my local university! Good luck! you can do it as it is never too late!!
