No way! I'm 46 and in my first year of Nursing School. My philosophy is that time passes nomatter what. It's up to you what you do with it. Good Luck1 : )

Hi Anne, You didn't mention which class you are currently enrolled in, but most of the prereqs needed to apply to the nursing program are general and apply to most programs. I think that once you have a few of the required basic courses behind you, you will have a better idea as to whether or not you are headed in the right direction. You can always change your course of study at that time and the classes you have already completed will not have been a waste. I am currently a first year nursing student at OCC and at the time I started my prereqs it had been 25 yrs since I had graduated high school. I was nervous and excited, but I was also determined. I've had a few set backs such as having to repeat a Chem course to achieve the desired grade and then finding out that a Bio credit that I was told counted, didn't and had I to take another Bio class. Then last fall, as I finally started the nursing program, my car broke down and I couldn't afford the repairs, so I had to restart this fall. But, having worked my tail off and gotten a better car, here I am again at the start of the 2 yr RN program and still nervous and excited! I'm 46 now and I'll be 48 when I graduate, but ya know what? In 2 yrs, I'll be 48 nomatter what and I can use that time to accomplish my goal or not. That's the way I see it. So...what if I have another setback? What do you think I'll do? Never give up! Good Luck : )
