Hello,my name is maryann and have a passion in helping people. Through out my life i've gone from one dead end job to another and i also had to raise my kids on my own. wow im surprised i have any more energy to keep on going. I wanted to know if me being 41yrs of age is kinda to late to start a career in the nursing industry?
Welcome to the site, Maryann!
No, 41 is NOT too old. Heck, I got out of my LPN to BSN bridge program at 39, and was the oldest. Think of it this way: you already have experience!
Hope to see you around often!

Thanks! for the positive feedback cougarnurse.
Mind you, the road can be pretty steep at times: studying, clinicals, etc. However, it IS worth it. Also, you got us to bounce off of, whether it be in the Rubber Room, the Daily Thread, Student sections, etc.
Wish I'd known about this place when I was in school!

We pride ourselves on differing opinions. Hope you pass the word on about us!
Welcome to the site. Lots of people go to nursing school while in their 40s or even 50s, so don't let that stop you.
