Its never too late to chase your dreams. In our class the youngest student is 21 and the eldest will be 57, and we all have different "luggage." Some of my classmates have had a few different careers previously, been homemakers their entire lives, or have been chasing nursing since graduating high school. I have been approached more than a few times by students who ask how nursing school is and, given their personal backgrounds, should they even bother trying to get into nursing school. I tell them all the same thing: if this is what you want and you have the determination to chase it then go for it. Do not wait or wonder what may have been. Good luck to you.
