Do we have nurses online that began their career later in life? What would you do different? Would you stay in the nursing career or do something else?
I am 51 years old and have been accepted into the Ga. Perimeter nursing program this fall. Of course I'm terrified of being able to complete the 2 years of training at my age. I have been considering switching to a 2 year Diagnostic Medical Sonography program but then I won't have any guarantee of getting into the program. Since it is not a broader range of study like nursing it seems less stressful, however only 30 students are taken per year. I am at a loss at to what to do. I would love to hear from other nurses that started later in life.
Thanks for your time and responses.
