I think age is just that "A number" (i'm 42)_you are only as old or young as a person allows themselves to feel. I have just started taking my prerequisites to get that part out of the way, I was very nervous about returning to school. Reading everyone's posts on here and with the support of my family, has helped give me courage. I have a sophomore and a freshman in college and 2 still in grade school. No-one every said college was going to be easy!! I'm giving it all that I have, nursing has always been a dream of mine, and now I'm going for it!! Wish me luck!!
