I am 52 and I am in an RN Nursing Program at a Community College. Don't let age deter you from your goals. Go for it!

I encourage you to get your CNA. I did and it really helps with your comfort level . I encourage you to apply to all the colleges that you are qualified for which is a hard, confusing and tough process. Get good grades on your prereq's. I don't know about Everett but Shoreline has 3 entrance points each year and you can apply during those times.

Seattle Central Community College is the only program in Western Washington that is first come first. In the fall on the first day you can sign up if you line up and get their early in the morning I.E 2am you line up and if you have a number below 40 and below you more than likely will be accepted--Make sure you submit all your transcripts at least a month in advance and have attended an orientation and talked to an advisor before lining up on the first day. I have heard through the grapevine that the school has a poor reputation--They are on warning and may loose their accred's. Shoreline Community College has an excellent reputation and the process is very clear. It is very competitive and the highest scores get in. You have to have 114++ to get accepted. Highline has a great program and if you have good grades and do a nice job on their essay you stand a good chance to get in. Bellevue has a reputation that you have to have 4.0 to get in and have some goofy math requirements. Tacoma you would need to be a student there to begin with since they have a 3 anatomy series that they use points for to get in. Hope this helps
