I have visited this site since I began nursing school in 2004. I just wanted to say "Thanks" to EVERYONE for all the support. I have enjoyed reading the posts and learning more about the profession that I have wanted to be in since the age of 7.

Special thanks to those of you who have answered my private messages as well.

God bless you all!

HI there.....CONGRATULATIONS. Your message stood out to me because of your age. I am 39, and am just returning to finish my clinicals....so by the time i graduate, i too will be 41!! i guess i feel like i am sooo old, and so wish i had gotten this done a long time ago. But, i have been surprised at how many older people are getting their nursing degrees. What area of nursing are you interested in? I am very much hoping to work in NICU. Was the exam as hard as you had expected it to be?? Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks....

THANK YOU! Please know...you are NEVER too old. I will have my dream career as a Mother/Baby nurse. At the birth of each of my two sons, when my nurse left the room, I would think to myself..."Wish I had that career". Giving thanks to God...I WILL have it! There are many "Non-Traditional" students out there. I studied for the NCLEX-RN for 8 weeks. I took a Sylvia Rayfield Review Course, purchased the NCSBN on-line review course and did Kaplan questions. I think I was well prepared for it.

Best Wishes to you!

Hi Marcene. I did all of the Q bank questions with Kaplan as well as the Question Trainer tests. BELIEVE ME...I understand your being nervous as I was there just last week! YES...I found Kaplan questions VERY helpful. PLEASE though...do not get hung up on your scores with the Kaplan questions. I know of other people who passed the NCLEX-RN with scores in the high 50's - low 60's. It is important to review and understand the rationales.

Best Wishes to you Marcene.
