Thanks for the info

I was talking to a nurse on Friday ,and she said that A woman just graduated from a nursing program at the age of 65 after retirement as a teacher. I was reading Businessweek and it said that nursing is in the top 20 of second careers. This is encouraging news from that article, and the response on this post.

I'm a medical corpsman in the US Coast Guard, and by the time I retire I would have served 30 years in the Coast Guard, but I will be 48 years old, and I have already completed my bachelors degree in Health science, and currently working on my masters degree which will be finished before I retire. The question I have is I'm too old to apply to nursing school?. I was thinking about trying to work for the health department, but really want to be a nurse. I have alredy completed some of the pre-reqs for nursing. One other item that I'm concerned with is that I'm an African American male, and I dont see hardly any African american male nurses in the field. I know regardless of color male nurses are the minority.

Has anyone recently been accepted into the UTMB accelerated BSN program, and if so what was the competive GPA and the interview like? Thanks
