I do not know the word "no". I will probably enter an LVN program next year at the age of 52. I have a Ph. D. In psychology and my husband got a great job offer in another state, so here we are. I am struggling trying to get my license of 20 years transferred here, I had to take a very difficult state test and I didn't do so well. So my interest has wondered and with my husband's new job I do not have to work. So I have been taking some of the pre reqs for the LPN program just to see how I would do (and I did much better then I did on that state psychology test). So instead of banging my head in the wall trying to re learn statistics and test construction I may go a different route. I look about 10 years younger then I am so I just don't plan on telling anyone my age. GO FOR it, I was also a volunteer paramedic for 12 years and got a two year degree to do that as well. you are the only one standing in your way, just do it!!!
