    ❤❤❤Today I woke up thinking about what is my passion or what does my heart tells me. I've always wanted to become a RN when I was younger. I woke up to a news interview on the television, with a nurse talking and she was talking and giving encouraging words to those who was thinking about it. Then i came across your youtube video and and it was so aspiring..I'm going to do more research and get my nursing journey started thanks for sharing❤❤❤

      There may not be an age limit on education but age definitely puts limits on how much or little info you can process at a time & the patience needed to tolerate those the same age as your cheren or grandcheren😂

    I am 46 currently a CNA for the past 15 years, I am also in nursing school now class of 2025. I have no regrets on how long it took me to get to this level in my life. It’s never too late for anyone to earn an education. I put my education on hold just to take care of my kids who are now a senior in college and the other just graduated with his masters. Now it’s my time to shine my kids are my biggest inspiration and yes they help me with my studies as well. I have plenty of mentor from my job and plenty of support from family. Anyone can do it. Congratulations to you and may God bless you tremendously.

    I'm 51 and I graduated in 1997 with a BS that I never used. I had earned my LPN while in HS and planned to go on to medicine in college. Well, that didn't happen. Marriage, children and bills; life happened. I decided to go back to get my RN degree but it was never the right time. Now, at 51, I'm in my 2nd semester of my AA RN degree and will graduate in May 2025. My plan is to continue on to receive my MSN. I try to forget about the "years I"ve wasted" and focus on what is to be gained. It's never too late to start and achieve your goals.

    I've been thinking lately if I should still pursue the dream of nursing or not and here this video pops up ❤ 41, and nursing was a dream that's been sidetracked so many times that I began to think maybe it wasn't meant. The last time I tried years ago, I passed my HESI and was on a waiting list, but the school closed. From there, COVID made me really re-think things. Now, my kids are pretty much grown and my youngest is getting ready to graduate and wants to go to nursing school too, so the whole idea has come back around. This video makes me think that maybe it just wasn't time for me then, but that doesn't mean it can't be my time now. That's what comes with maturity, too, wisdom ✨️ Thank you!

    Great video! I am 41 and just graduated nursing school and taking the boards tomorrow! EVERYTHING in your video is the honest TRUTH! I did all of this! I am married (23 yrs) and 4 kids and have a part time job. Another tip for us "older" adult students is get your finances in order so that the financial stress will not hinder your learning or be on top of the nursing school stress! You can do it no matter what age! If it is your dream/passion and you are capable and able= DO IT! ❤

    Appreciate this! Over 50 started an accelerated nursing program and had issues with family obligations. Because I am 100% committed, starting another program (not accelerated). I think it will be better for me. Of course, still challenging, I'm sure, but having that experience, I really know what to expect. Your advice is spot on!!! Thank You!

    I’m 54 and just started nursing school. I went to CNA school in 2009 and went to nursing school 2011 didn’t finish for Various reasons. Fast forward to now I’ve been a scene and now for 16 years and I am a lead CNA at my facility and it’s a very easy position and I enjoy it and I decided to take an accelerated course 12 months at a school here in Michigan and I start classes October 7. Funny thing is is I got tutoring to take my Hesi test and myself and 4 other coworkers all over 40 I’m the oldest…we all decided to go together so we’re all going together so we can help each other along the way I’m extremely excited.
