First of all, I would like to congratulate you by making the right decision for yourself to become a nurse in the near future. As long you have the passion, courage, and very well confident of yourself engaging into nursing career, then, you are good to go. Now, your main question if you are too old to start? The answer is_ absolutely not at all! Your age is way young comparing to others like me who are currently in the nursing program. In the future, if you still decide to go into nursing program, expect to see yourself sitting next to much older classmates of yours. Based upon my experience, months before I started going into nursing program, I was a little concerned about my age that I might be the oldest one among all nursing students but when I went to our orientation day, I was very surprised to see the numbers of older students in the nursing program. From that point, I've realized that all my misconceptions about age in relation to education or career change were absolutely incorrect. So, I hope you did get my point of view and able to gain some positive inputs in regards to your personal concern. Good luck!
