I am 65 - once I enter the program I should have my RN in a year and a half if all goes well

Thanks for the quick reply - I commend you, it is difficult to go to school and care for three children. Mine are all grown and on their own.

I am finishing up pre-reqs and applying to an RN program for the fall - I wonder how many of you are out there that are non traditional nursing students - I have a feeling I may be the oldest nursing student on this site.:)

Started at 59 will graduate at 62!

Here's one for you! 1st age 17 2nd age 18 3rd age 39 All from the same marriage - There are 20 years between my second and third children - the first two were boys and I wanted a girl - lucky for us the third was a girl

Nice to see someone in my "age group" - good luck!

I am many, many years older than you and about to enter an RN nursing program. I have been a accountant for many years but have always wanted to be a nurse. With a great deal of encouragement from my husband and daughter I am finally going to do it. I will be working while I am going to school (it is an evening program) but I think I have figured out a decent schedule. My children are all grown so I really don't have any home obligations - all I have to do is work, go to school and study!! Good luck to you - I wish I had done this many years ago.
