Hey Ladies!!! I finally decided to go back to school! I start nursing school in July for 1 year to get my LPN degree. And if my 50 year old body and brain can keep up with the youngsters I'll keep on going til I get my RN. Just wanted a little support and some of my vette friends to tell me I'm not to old for this Besides I need a better job because I want to get the vette painted next year  luvmy7638421.7647569444

Best of luck Ann!  It can be done.  I am 40 and just spent the last several months  retraining myself for a different career path.  I'm sure others have spent longer, as in getting an MBA, etc., but the point is that you will feel great knowing that you are taking control and the initiative to do something for your own better-ment.  I'm not sure where my retraining will land me, but I am enjoying the journey nonetheless.

You picked a very rewarding career....my wife's an RN and as zany and crazy as the floor can get in a shift, she wouldn't do anything else for a living. She works maternity, says she wants to see'em check in instead of out (previous gig was intensive care). She was an LPN a long time before she got her registry so don't get caught up in the age thing. She said study partners are the best way to get through some of the courses (anatomy/phys., bio-chem., etc.), but once you get to your clinicals, it'll be some semblance of what it's really like to be a nurse.  Good luck!

I think that's fantastic.  Some of my automotive students are older than I am.  And in fact, they are usually the best students.  You can do it!

Ann,
Are you going to the U of R? Or one of the other great schools in our area?
You will do fine, just don't try to party all night with the youngsters

That is awesome that your going back to school. Being that I met you in person, your a very intelligent person and I know you'll do fine.

When the weather breaks,  Michele and I would like to meet up with you guy's again and go out for a beer or two. Good luck and keep us posted. We want progress reports now! lol.

Never too old too go back to school.Have you ever thought of going into Skin care and working with aPlastic Surgeon. Quite lucrative,and you get to get perks from the doc. Ie  cosmetic procedures. My school trains 60 students  a year in this field. Just a thought. good luck
