Is it too late for a 46 years old with master in computer science to go to nursing school? Any suggestions?

I have been working as a computer programmer for 12 years and stay at home mom for four yerars. I am thinking about going to an accelerated nursing progam. Do you know if the age would be an issue? Any suggestions?

Definetely go for it! With your credentials, I dont see ANY reason why your age would be an issue. You will be done in as little as 1 year something. And you are not even that old!


I have seen people in their fifties attending college, and have a great deal of respect for them.


Good luck!
Reply:See!for Education [and Marriage]the AGE is NO issue at all.


And don't ask "how."You just practice.
Reply:Nope, never too late. I say if you want to do it, go for it! I'm in a BSN nursing program and while most of us are in our 20s, there are some who are older. If you want to do it, don't let age stop you. :o)





Best of luck to you!
Reply:It's never too late. Be sure to understand the program and how long it will take. Nursing programs can be difficult to get into due to a lack of teachers. I'm older and just finishing grad school, so definitely don't be concerned about age. Most of my classes had older students making changes.
Reply:I'm currently a nursing student and in the BSN nursing program. Age is not an issue. About 3 of my classmates out of 38 students are over 40 and they seem not to be struggling in the class. Although at an accelerated nursing program, the average age is usually much older than in a BSN program and you will find more people around your age. I have met many nursing students in there 20s, 30s, 40s, and even one lady in her 50s and they are generally the nicest people in the program. So don't worry, there are plenty of people who go back to school for nursing. It's a great profession. You should definitely go for it.
Reply:If you wait will you be any younger in a few years? Go for it.
Reply:I think that as long as you are trying to better yourself then age shouldn't be an issue, Good luck
Reply:For me, age is never an issue if youn want to go to nursing school because, it's not the age that matters but your interest in getting to your goal. If your heart says it's what you want then why not? soit's never too late as long as you want to be a nurse.capabilities and abilities of a person doesn't stop when he gets to 46 so please go for it.
