I am 53 yrs old and am taking my LPN state board exams next week! I enrolled in night classes at TTCN in October 2004 and worked part time also. Being older has some advantages; while the younger folks were struggling to party and study, I only had to study! Graduated with a 92 average. It takes a committment to study a little more, cause your brain is a bit older! But worth every single moment.
