I'm a junior in college who will get an Associates in Arts/Sciences in Pre nursing - also my transfer degree. I've been in school straight since i've graduated high school. Every quarter i've been in school. The older i'm getting, the more frustrating and lazy i am. I volunteer, a nursing assistant, i have the experience and "knowledge" outside of the classroom. I come from a family of doctors and nurses. I'm not saying i'm smarter and better but coming from this background, i feel familiar and comfrotable in the nursing environment.
I was pretty much told that i was "too young" and not mature to be in nursing school right now and to take my time. I feel that all my hard work the past three years meant nothing. I worked hard these past years because my goal was to get in. I don't wanna rush, i just want to get to my goal. What else am i gonna do? I've done everything, every class for nursing...the problem is i'm just "too young"...I'm turning 21 this year...
What am i gonna do?

If i had known they were going to accept people in their mid 20's then i would have screwed around these past three years and then take it seriously...but no, the reason why i worked soo hard was to get down so i could work - i don't want to be in school forever...

A school can not deny you entrance because of your age THAT IS AGAINST THE LAW
I bet you were not accepted because of poorer grades then your competition.
Nursing school is more competetive then you can imagine. I had a 3.6 gpa average and it took me 3 years until I got in
I bet you were told you were too young but that is not why you were not let in. Im sure if you asked them why, you would get a straight answer
Sorry

Wow. do not give up on your dream or maybe you are doing this because of doctors in the family. Keep seeking and you will find. You are looking in the wrong places. Doctor's office, hospitals, clinics, etc. Start small and get some experience. You would think your family would know these things because of their experiences and help you. You could go back and take special course to be a Nurse Practioner/RN program. I am not understanding your age discrimination. Some jobs want education and experience. Send out about 20 plus resume at once. Kaiser will hire you.

Since I do not know where you're applying to Nursing School, I cannot really give the BEST answer. I don't even know in what state you live. How are your grades?
There's an awesome nursing program at the university where I graduated. It's competitive to get in, and they make you have good grades, but we're top in Oklahoma.

what exactly were you told? did they offer any hope or suggest any action which would improve your chances later?
...you know,a year or two may make a large difference in both your presentation and attitude.
