Good for you! If anyone finishes third semester and isn't freaking out I would worry about them.all the nurses I know tell me nursing school is harder then nursing your always being graded. That's stressful.you just have one more semester,hang in there,its almost done!!!

Hi everyone, I really hope someone has some good advice for me. I did my first and second semester on chemo and failed med-surg.no problem I repeated med-surg. Then in the third semester I failed med-surg again how can I finish doing the RN program,since no schools in Los Angeles let you come in for the third semester. Is their online schools for RN programs. I can't give up now I have come too far. Thanks for any advice anyone has!

thanks lori, i think we should have a special page just for older students,so we can help and encourage each other.my attitude about getting hired is,never listen to what "they say".whoever they are. If i had listened to them I would not of done all the great things I got to do. I love patient care and from my clinicals really see the need for compassionate nurses.

hi i am 61 years old and going into the 3rd semester of the nursing program. I personally think there are many benefits to hiring an older new nurse.My teachers are younger than I am and Im sure are wondering why I am there.BUt you definitely go for it. I know I will make a great nurse,yes memorizing is a little harder and I take a little longer to learn things,but I did that when I was 20 so nothing much has changed.Dont let anyone talk you out of it. We are getting older no matter what so why not,so glad to hear Im not the only one
