There are always agencies - usually begging for help. worth checking out.

I graduated nursing school at the age of 51 years old. It was a booger because my brain didn't function or retain as well as it had the last time I attended school. So no, your are not too old to start. But, do not wait. Do your pre-req's. Do WELL on them. Your GPA can be what makes or breaks you. Start your dedication, because once in Nursing Program, you have no life. Join Nursing associations. If you have to work, start as CNA, and move up from there. That is all based on my experience. Good Luck!

As someone who was in a similar circumstance, I went for scholarships and grants. Loan for work, etc... I was able to receive enough of them to cover all my expenses through school. That may help with some of the stress, well worth checking out. Get in touch with financial aid dept at your school as well as online, and state programs. Best of luck.

Congrads!!!Much like you, I returned to school and recetly I received my "Acceptance" letter. To complete this circle it as been 20 years coming. I will be 50 when I finish up. Just in time for another 20 years.....helping others.
