Hi, this is my first time posting on AN. I am 60 years old. I have been a LPN since 1974 and a LPC (licensed professional counselor) since 2002 when I graduated with a masters in counseling. I have decided I feel incomplete without the RN. My memory is not as sharp, however, it is a catch 22 in that, if you challenge your brain it will start to perform better. I am taking pre-requisites now and hope to enter the program by fall of 2014. I do not plan to retire until I am 70 and will get my RN experience in home health where I already work part-time and have extensive (22 years) experience. I say go for it. It will help to keep or rekindle the sharpness of your brain!
