Thanks everyone! I love your answers and input. I appreciate it. :) Jenny :)

You guys...thank you SO much for your replies! Heartsgal: You sound JUST like me!! Same age; I hated high school...c or d student really, and so far I am a 4.0. I love it so much! I really appreciate everybody's 2 cents :) And my friend that quit had flunked A and P twice. I feel encouraged. I'm just gonna DO IT. I don't even care how long it takes or what kind of job I find later. As long as I'm an RN :) It will be a dream come true after raising 5 daughters. My turn :) Thanks again...that explains a lot!

Dear Nurses, I desperately need your help. I am 45 years old and am just starting college! Just about to finish my first semester. My goal was the 2 year RN degree. My friend( 42) just dropped out because she heard in 2016 things are changing. (Not sure what things.) Is is POINTLESS to get an ADN? Will anyone hire a nurse with an associate's degree? This is going to take me a minimum of 3 years to accomplish...I am ALREADY old. Am I wasting my time and hard work? Should I pursue something like the one year surgical tech diploma? Any advice would be truly appreciated. I live in Wisconsin. Thank you so much!!!! Oldie, but Newbie
