Anyone here a Nurse?

Give me some motivation.  I am seriously thinking of going back to school at age 35 to obtain a nursing degree.  I know it's going to be tough, espeically now that I have two small children.  Tell me I can do it!!  Thanks!  Just needed more encouragement!!

Well the great thing about nursing is that there are so many levels that you could start out small and work your way up. You could get your CNA in 6 weeks and then work part time as a CNA and do some nursing while getting your LPN or taking pre-reqs. So I say go for it!

Most definitely you can do it!!  I was 30 when I did it and I LOVE being a nurse!!  Go for it!  If you ever need encouragement or advice, feel free to email me!

Chelle, thank you so much!  I have my AS degree in business admin and I need to take some pre reqs and I suck at math and papers but I'm thinking that now that I'm older compared to 15 years ago, I will take things much more seriously and maybe be much more interested.  I'm thinking of taking the more difficult classes such as Anatomy, etc. by themsevles so I can really focus on them and not stress out....being I have other obligations now.

I'm 32 and back in school for respiratory therapy.  It's a good idea to take classes like Anatomy & Physiology on their own.  That's what I've been doing and so far, so good.  I've timed it so I can hopefully start the full-time program when my youngest enters kindgergarten.  Gonig to school with kids is very challenging but I've also found that I'm more focused and driven now that I'm older and I really don't want to disappoint my family.  You can do it!

You could totally do it.  I did it with two little ones, plus being pregnant with my third!  As long as you have a good support system to help you out, it is completely possible!  Anything is possible if you just keep looking towards the light at the end of the tunnel!!!!
