Hello everyone- This is my first post, but I am curious....When I finish nursing school (if I even get in) I will be 62 years old. Is there anyone out there in the same situation? I am currently struggling through Physiology, and am not sure I can ge...

I didn't want to post this but I feel compelled to help future nursing students trying to decide where to go for their ADN. Please DO NOT choose Chaffey if you have a choice. Their program is just what you probably heard it was. It is mean, spiteful,...

Morgan....You gave the best advise I read. I just finished my first semester and my advise is DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING! If you go in with ANY preconceived ideas it will screw you up. I listened to too many people, too much bad advise and I did not d...

Wow- I don't think wanting to work later in life is an "American thing" I think it's a people thing- A mind set thing- Being in shape and sharp in wit thing- I still feel vibrant and young! Like an earlier post said, I want to work until they cart me...

I find that, unbeknownst to ourselves, that most people feel that way, but are afraid to approach other students, and shelter themselves in the safety of people they recognize. I am at least 30 years older than most of my classmates, and felt like I ...

I appreciate the supportive posts, and have been thinking about the age factor. At first I WAS nervous, but I think as time goes on, and baby boomers (such as myself) will find retirement is not as great as its cracked up to be. Frankly, I was bored ...
