| How old is too old? Many years ago, I was in college planning to go to nursing school and, as things go, an alternate career oportunity presented itself. In need of money at the time, I took the oportunity. Now I am 46 years old (male, if that matters) and am seriously considering pursuing the career that I really wanted...Nursing. My question to you experienced folks is, do you think 46 is too old to begin a journey into this wonderful field of health care? |

| Re: How old is too old? Absolutely not!!! I went back to school to become a nurse at the age of 35... after a long career as a professional drummer. I worked through an agency that pretty much billed me as a 'hired gun' , and worked with many national recording artists who were on what they call the 'has-been' tour!!! It was fun while it lasted, but I needed more out of life. So go for it brother!!!!! |

| Re: How old is too old? nope 46 isn't too old. The nurse manager of our OR (male) was laid off from the coal mines now has a MSN and a son that's an ER nurse. If he wouldn't have been laid off he'd still be in the mines. |
