Yes, sorry you are too old! Your license to learn expired on your last birthday and I'm afraid it's not renewable.
Just kidding! My brother-in-law became an assistant nurse at 62 years young. You will do it too, but at a much younger age!

You are never to old but I know how you feel I'm 27 and thinking about going to college after being out of school for ten years! It's scary but if I can do it anyone can!! Besides you may have gotten better at the things that were difficult for you in school. Nursing is hard but with such a shortage it can be very rewarding, money and the joy of helping others. Go for it and try not to be scared if you really want to do it you will find a way.

Wonderful! Noooooo, you are NOT too old! My Mom started college when I did (nursing degree)...I was 28 and she was 46...she hadn't been in school since high school...
Don't worry about failing...most colleges have tutors available or other students will be willing to help you out...if it's something you want to do, then do it...
It's never too late...and it's fantastic that you want to do it...I wish you the best...it took Mom nearly 10 yrs to get her Associates degree, taking a class or two a semester, but she did it and we (her kids) were SO proud.

I have my two children in daycare and their policy is -I had to go and look it up: The following symptoms would require immediate pick up: vomiting, diarrhea, red or dischargin eyes or ears, undiagnosed skin rashes or infection. Medication: Only prescription medication will be administered by the staff. They're to be accompanied by a written authorization from a parent. Non-prescribed over the counter medication (tylenol-benadryl etc) will only be administered if accompanied by a doctor's note for an ongoing health related issue. So this is my kidd's daycare illness policy-it's the best daycare in my city-part of our local University- And if a child had to be kept home because of runny nose or coughing, half of my son's class would not attend till the spring-my son included! My son recently got pink eye and was asked to be picked up,and we did and kept him home the following day. But that's normal!! My son's been having this cold for a month now!! It goes and comes back never completely leaves, but he's got no fever no other symptoms! He's just got a runny nose and a cough just like many of his friends and those are no grounds to keep a child from attending school/daycare. I would talk to the owners/directors of the center and find out what's going on... in the meantime I suggest you look around for other daycares... Im sorry you're in this situation I can tottally understand how you might feel, having to work and the daycare center not accepting your child for a silly thing like this. Good Luck!!

Hey! Are you my older twin?!?!
You're never too old to go to school. Don't let a fear of failing be the reason you don't take an opportunity that may change your life for the better. I, too, was not good in math (I am in Psychology, by the way), but higher education is not like education in high school. people are nicer in colleges. there are people who will probably have a much harder time in math than you. And there are people of all ages in colleges now; and classmates are much more willing to help each other than they were back in the day. Don't think about what you might fail; think about succeeding!!

Darling, how old will you be if you don't?
In 1990 a classmate of mine was 50 her daughter 22 and she completed the nursing course. Me, 2005, I attempt it again and get booted out again. I'm chosing a different field. Going to UMBC.

You're never too old to do anything that you really want to do. Maybe you should take some math classes or science classes and see what you think before you jump directly into a nursing program.

Honestly, you're never too old to go back to school, as a nurse I can tell you that nursing is a great profession and if you have the desire to help people, then I definately think you should go for it!!
Good luck and when the time comes, welcome to the profession!

I don't think it's a great idea if you're clumsy, that might be an issue.
Otherwise, I enjoyed having older folks in my classes, it's almost like it helped bring the teachers closer to the students.
