I have worked in the medical field for 20 yrs. I am not a nurse but have always wanted to be a nurse because I actually care about people/pts- that has never changed. I have enrolled in school and I start my pre-Recs this fall. The school I am attending requires an ACT score of 18 or higher to be accepted into the nursing program. I haven't been in a classroom in 21 yrs. Does anyone have any advice in regards to school and classes and Act information etc? I am 41 yrs old with a family and tend to wonder if I'm too old to start my future?
