I'm very excited and nervous.. first up Chemistry! holy crap! saving physics for last.. I dont even know what physics is! its gonna b rough :)

Hello everyone. I'm 35 and for a few years I've reallly wanted to dive into the nursing field. A few close friends are doing it and I'm SOO envious that I didn't do this earlier. But I've been a stay @ home mom with my kiddos forever it seems and although thats wonderful being able to raise my kids I'm honestly getting extremely bored and really want a career! I'm very tech savvy and thought at first I'd do the easy thing and jump into IT but with the jobs the way they are mainly my husband never knowing if his job will be given to the India team its worrysome we can't both have that fear. I've always been a pretty decent student. Never a 4.0er. The classes do seem scary and a bit overwhelming, but I really think I can do it and its exciting. My biggest issue is my friend came over the other day for some shopping we were chatting bout her classes. She just got accepted into Nursing School for the fall and was talking bout A&P and she skinned a cat.. NO way can I do that!! Has anyone else encountered this issues.. I mean i OWN a cat I LOVE cats .. I love animals thats going to be so incrdibly difficult.. in fact in high school we conviently went on 'vacation' during the 2 weeks of disecting bc I'm a vegetarian I cant disect! resulted in a D for me in that class but I took it bc I just couldnt do it.. how do I overcome this.. Its really bothering me. I could do it on a cadaver in a second but animals im REALLY sensitve about.. also another quick question ~ I can't officially even get INTO nursing school until 2010 bc I need to take Chemistry/bio I/ A&P and Physics and bc of all those sciences. They recommeded I take them 1 at a time with a few other things I'll need like a psy class and this other NURSC class thats required b4 nursing school which means IF i get accepted into fall of 2010 then I wont even become a nurse until I'm 39.. Is that just to old to be starting all of thisi now?? If anyone has some wonderful advice or a /slap into reality I'll gladly take it :) Thanks (sorry this was so long)
