    AuntieRN replied to ybesedina's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. Question: Is it too late for me to go to nursing school in my mid 40s?

    AuntieRN replied to Charity1230's topic in General Nursing

    Charity I started when I was 39 1/2. I will be 41 when I graduate. I'll admit it is probably not as easy for me as it is some of the young ones to remember things and I probably have to study a little...

  9. Received an "F" for a "B"!

    AuntieRN replied to Anjann's topic in General Nursing
