Well, I waited till my youngest was in HS so I would have my RN by the time he graduated. I am 52 years young, passed NCLEX in 75 questions and a 3.75 GPA. I only went on 2 interviews and turned down one of them! I'm working in a PCU and I love it! My son graduates in June and leaves for the Army in July, I'm so thankful I didn't listen to the "I'm too old" voice in my head! Go for it, your never too old to follow your dreams :)
