I am applying for the spring cohort to Duke's ABSN. I have a B.A. from Georgetown University, and plan on moving to N.C. (if I am accepted!)

Thank you!

Great advice, thank you. I will be volunteering at a local hospice this summer as well.

Hello everyone, I will be graduating from nursing school next year when I will be 57, with my ultimate goal of becoming a traveling R.N. since I lived overseas for many years and love to travel. I have a previous B.A. in Liberal Arts and spent the last 20 years working as a senior marketing and project manager in IT and communications. I am finally pursuing what I love, love school and had a 4.0 with all of my pre-reqs. For what it's worth, I am often told I look like I am in my 40s and I am physically fit and active. I am worried, however, that my age will be a detriment to being hired as when I changed jobs in my late 40s in IT, it was incredibly difficult to get a new position. I appreciate any thoughts!
