I started Nursing School at 33 Yrs Old.

Ever thought of starting/changing to a new career in nursing school at a later age? In today's rapidly evolving world, the idea of embarking on a new career journey, especially at a more mature age, might seem daunting. However, the stories shared by individuals who have taken the leap into new career paths later in life serve as powerful reminders that it's never too late to pursue your dreams. 

In this post, we'll explore how people from various walks of life have embraced change and found success in starting new careers, inspiring readers to consider their own potential for growth and fulfillment. For example, a student nurse by the Name of Karnika took a leap of faith and enrolled in Nursing School at 38 years and everything has been blissful. 





God's plan for you is aligned with your season. I didn’t become a nurse until my 30s because in my 20s, I didn’t have a caring spirit for others. I was young and selfish

"Boss lady. Congratulations"


Mia's journey into nursing at 31, and her subsequent success, showcases the courage and determination required to embrace change and pursue a new career path, regardless of age.


**Nora Chika:**  

“I’m doing my prerequisites now! This is inspiring”


**Alexcaflyse:**  

“If you don't mind me asking, how did you finish all of that in one year?”

         Mia 

I did an 18-month program at my college which is a nursing accelerated program.

Nora Chika's declaration of embarking on her journey, combined with Alexcaflyse's curiosity, highlights the importance of seeking inspiration and guidance from those who have walked the path before us.

Karnika | Anesthesia NP · Creator

That was me. I was laid off and decided to pursue nursing so I would never be laid off again

With the way people are all of a sudden coming into nursing trust, it will not always be enough jobs in the future.

My classmate was single, 4 kids and worked nights in the ER as a tech. She was the baddest in the class. You can do it friend.

Class started at 7am or 8am and ended by 5pm depending on the class load that day. I chose preop for clinical because I needed to pick my daughter up by 5pm

I think people who pursue this or any kind of medical science degree at a more mature age than traditionally are better equipped, emotionally imo

It depends on you. CRNA was my goal, but at my age and having kids, I changed my mind. I knew I didn’t want that career anymore

If I started nursing school back in 2014 I def would not have graduated. Go back as a second degree was the best decision I made
