Too old?

This May I will turn 50, but I've always had a career(s) in helping the public (doula, midwife intern, fire fighter/medic, EMT/E.D and have worked for Pathologists/gross room). I have had a love of medicine, E.D to be exact but I am a little concerned that I might be too old sitting in a college classroom with people young enough to be my kids. Plus it's been FOREVER since I last took any math or science, so there's that.. Any advice? I just picked up the HESI A2 study prep and guide, plus an online version in hopes that it'll help. Thanks in advance :)

    It's actually in the terms of service here on Allnurses NOT to use RN, nurse, etc in your screen name if you aren't one. And apparently, it's NOT legal to say you're something your not even if you aren't practicing (I thought the same thing and it was explained to me that the title 'nurse' is protected much like other professions - in fact it's a federal offense to pretend to be a member of the military if you aren't - stolen valor is the term).

    No worries, it's been changed and yes I am a certified Fire Fighter so the title FF fits í ½í¸Š

    Everyone here has been so helpful, it's nice to see especially on line. I'm sure I'll be back on asking a zillion questions along this nursing school journey.
