hi mb, i am 47 years old and just applied to the program and will find out at the end of feb. i went back to school 1 1/2 yrs ago and have gotten a's in all my classes. every individual is different. some may not be as sharp as others, but only you know what you can handle. if you are wanting this as bad as it sounds, then you need to go for it. i believe you would be doing yourself an injustice if you did not follow your dream. good luck and many blessings! michelle:yeah:

I agree with everyone! I am 46 years old and decided it was time to do what I have always dreamed of doing. I work 40 hours and have two children plus tons of bills to worry about. I am taking 4 classes on top of everything else. However, I am determined to get this done. I have wanted to be a nurse my entire life. I got pregnant with my firs child while in college and settle for a business degree instead of the nursing program because it was less demanding. So I gave up years ago and regret it. Now at my old age, I am back and not going to give up! If I can do it, so can you!!!!

I am 46 years old and started last semester with one class (stats) I got an A and proved to myself I can do it. I have always wanted to be a nurse and just let life get in the way. Today starts my 2nd semester Biology, Biology Lab, and Human Growth and Dev. I work full time and have two kids. My husband supports me 100% and I am very grateful for that. I say just go for it!!! It is never too late to follow your dreams!!! Best of Luck!!!

Thanks HouTx! You said it! By no means is she a lost Hilton!! lol lol I am very excited to start my new venture in life. Can't wait for my study room! Thanks!!

Thanks "wantobemidwife", No I don't think you are being harsh. You are being honest. It is true. It is now time for me!! thanks!

Thank you for the advise. Hearing this from others does make me realize I must make some changes myself in order for her to change. I need to be strong and realize it is for her own benefit. It is time for her to face the music and realize it is the result of her own decisions she makes. It is time that I make my life long dream a reality!! Much Love to all!:loveya:

Thank you for your kind remarks. Everything you both said is absolutely true. I pray every night for her to grow up and start being responsible. Her dad is so hurt and dissapointed he barely talks to her. I am making a promise to myself to stop giving in to her everytime she comes to me for money. My husband supports me tremendously and only wants the best for me. So it is time for new beginings. I am soooo excited to start school in two weeks. I only have a few prerequesites because of my previous degree. I don't want anything or anybody to take the joy out of my dream! Thanks for the support!

Ok, so this is my first post. Here it goes. I am 46 years old and going back to school. I have wanted to be a nurse since I was little, but life always seemed to get in the way. Now I have commited to doing what I have always desired. So here is the situation. My daughter is 21 and still lives at home. She is not motivated and counts on me for everything. There always seems to be some kind of drama going on. I am so afraid that I will not be able to focus on school because I worry about her all the time and wish she would get her life together. I have given her the best life and all the resources to succeed, and now I feel it is my turn to work on me. She drains me and her dad emotionaly and I don't know what to do. I love her so much and wish she would get her life together. I pay for her phone and her car insurance and give her gas money. She can't seem to find a job and she keeps changing from one college to another. I know times are hard and jobs are not easy to come by, but she stays out all night and then sleeps most of the day. I will have to quit my job soon for school and it will just be my husbands income supporting us. And oh by the way, I also have a 6 year old son. Yes he was a surprise, but a good one. He is part of the reason I want to go back to school. He was born at 26 weeks gestation and was in the NICU for four months before we could bring him home. We have been through a lot and he is our little miracle :heartbeat. I start Barry University October 21 and being in my forties going back to school is going to be a challenge already and I just don't want to be distracted by her issues. I just want to have peace in our home. Thanks for listening.
