Lisa, Hi my name is Malissa and I am a 35 (almost 36) year old mother of 3 children and I am in LPN school with a class full of younger women. Sometimes I feel like an outsider. I have found that when the teacher lectures it is good to highlight in my books and then while she is lecturing I tape it. When I go home I rewrite what I have highlighted in my books and then I listen to the lecture over and over and most of the time it will stick with you. My kids love it that I have to do homework also. I think that being an older person and going back to school is a big challenge but in the long run it will be well worth the time and effort. I really enjoy this messege board because it will really lift your spirits. Good luck with the studying and if you ever need to vent just send me an IM.

Hi everyone! I'm Heather. I am 28..... no kiddos, or hubby yet. Although wish I had either. Yes I said it. I would love to have an annoying husband over no husband. I am completeing my pre reqs for Rn. I am very excited. I work full time and go to school full time.I don't get any finantial aid or loans so I am paying it all out of pocket......It sucks! But I know it will be so very worth it one day!!!!!!

Hi Everyone!

I just noticed this thread..I am a 26 yo BSN student ..finished pre-reqs and just starting my nursing classes this semester. This is my second career, I have a BA in Psychology. My school (Simmons College in Boston) has a program for "adult" students, which is 23 and older so I feel comfortable knowing that I am not alone! I think going to school a bit older is better, because I know I have it right this time! Good luck to all this semester, you can do it!
