In my traditional BSN, I'm the oldest at 25 with most students in my class being 17-19... Maybe 3 20 year olds... In the accelerated and RN-BSN classes, the average is 25-40... Almost everyone is in their early 20's with very few of us "older" students

I was 30 when I started prereqs. I've always had some young people-early 20's in my prereqs. Always have had a 1 or more people in their 50's. In my LVN school, it's the same. There are a few 19 year olds, a few 50+s, most people in their early to mid 20s. I'm 33 now. If I keep going toward my ultimate NP or MD goAls ill be 40 ish.

We have one as young as 18 and another who's nearly 40...but I must say, the gals in their 30s look great. Almost all of us look like we're somewhere in our 20s IMO.
