How marketable are you as a new ADN, just out of school at the age of 60, with many years experience as an LVN, just wondering. Thanks for any replies.

Thanks ya'll for your quick response. You know what? Even if I didn't use it for very long, I would still have the satisfaction of knowing I had achieved my dream before I died. Thanks again.

I am a 57 y/o female, practiced 30 yrs as an LVN. I would like to go back to school, but have doubts d/t my age. It will probably be time to retire by the time I'm done. I have the prereqs for a ADN program at my local CC, but would like to finish about 6 more courses that would allow me to transfer to UT for the BSN program. Nursing is all I know(and LOVE). Most of my family is in the medical field. Should I go for the short course or go for the Gusto? Someone help me out. Thanks for all responses in advance!

I'm sorry everyone, I KNOW this is the wrong thread. I'M a GIRL! Again, I'm so sorry.

This is my first post,please forgive me if it isn't the appropriate thread. Speaking of encouragement.........I need some along with some answers. I have been a practicing LVN for 30 years, I'm 57 yrs old. I want to return to school but have doubts d/t my age. I'm probably going to be ready for retirement by the time I get done. I have all the prereqs for an ADN prog. from my local CC, but would like to finish about 6 prereqs that would allow me to go to UT for my BSN. Most of my immed. family is in the medical field. That's all we know(and LOVE). Could someone give me the benefit of their much valued advise?
