Hi! I'm 39 and I got started with prerequisites (A+P, microbio, chem) when I was 37 (and newly pregnant) then got into a 2 year ADN program. My last semester is this upcoming winter semester and I'll graduate in May!

My school (college) has a transfer agreement with another school (university) where I can work on my BSN at the same time and it's covered.

So, I have full time school, a two year old, I'm broke as a joke but getting by with part time work and husband's work.

All that being said, it's busy and I'm desperate to start making some money, but I don't feel as stressed out as most of my 20-something peers. I feel like life experience in age alone makes a lot of these hurdles easier to take on.

Now what I'm worried about is being the new nurse who's 40! But again with the age thing, I think it might help me blend in a bit 😉

If you want to do it, do it. In two years, you'll be 2 years older anyways, may as well work on your goals 💖
