I will be 51 when I finish my BSN. I previously questioned whether I was too old to go into nursing -- I thought about how I was taking a spot from someone much younger, who will have many more years to devote to nursing. Then I realized, no matter how old you are, there are no guarantees as to how long you will pursue a career in nursing. I am a mature, well educated, experienced person; and I bring with me many assets a young person cannot. You are half my age -- YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT TOO OLD ! ! ! !
