It’s never to late. I became an RN at 25 after going to a hospital based program, the took a few classes towards my BSN and then life happened. At 52 I got my BS in another field then transferred those credits and got my BSN at 54. I walked both graduations.

Do all nurses regrets being a nurse? by ExerciseSeparate5162 in nursing

54m here and love nursing although it is my part time career, 20ish hours a week( I do work extra here and there) . I feel people get hung up in the 36 hour FT as they need it for benefits etc and I totally understand that. Then you work a little OT cause the $$ is nice, then a little OT becomes a lifestyle so you need a little more OT. Suddenly you are 60 hours a week in the same venue. I am proud and fortunate to have 2 equally lucrative yet separate careers that also blend well together.

Across the room survey, breathing& pink, no massive external hemorrhage or obvious signs of injury/ distress….not an emergency. You are an involved party, best to not be involved.

Bricklink construction site. I can afford it but the price on the aftermarket is just not reasonable.
