I'm in Memphis, if you have specific questions please feel free to message me. Thanks

Wow! I didn't expect such a great response, loaded with TONS of information. Thanks so much for the warm welcome. After reading through this post several times I've written a few notes on some things I must do. First and foremost, I found a college, I have made an appointment for next week to go discuss my options with them for school, pre-req's, etc. Secondly, thanks much for supporting this dream......Thanks!

Hi I finally registered after lurking here for the longest time. I'm a 43 year old male and have had the desire to be a nurse for the past 15 years. I have a well paying corporate job that really offers no stability and little satisfaction. That said, I decided that I have put off my desire for too long. I want to go to nursing school and am gathering the information to move forward but have some questions I need answered. 1. Obviously at 43 I have financial reasons I'll need to keep my "day job". My desire is to get as much of my nursing education online on part time. Is it realistic to think I can get my education part time to work within my life? 2. The local college that I was looking at offers a nursing program and at the end they offer an AAS degree in nursing. After receiving an AAS in nursing, where would this classify me as far as my nursing level; BSN, RN, LPN? 3. Does a 43 year old male going to school non- full time have hope of becoming a nurse or am I reaching at a dream that's unrealistic? Thanks in advance for your thoughts and comments - Tommy
