Is 45 too old for nursing school?

Best Answers

At 45, you are at a really good age to star(t) a career in nursing. If I would have gone to school when I was 45 it would not have made any difference to my interest, passion and enthusiasm. Sure it will be a little late if you compare to your classmates who are in their 20s. read more

No, 45 is not too old for nursing school. No age is too old for nursing school. If you start school at 45 and you finish at 48 or 49, you have 15 years to start practicing and working, and a lifetime of honing your skills. read more

No!!! 45 is definitely not too old. I graduated from LPN school at 55 (March 2006) and am currently in Excelsior to get the RN, hopefully next year. I've been working LTC and have just started a Med Surg position. read more
