  • @ingridscott6743
    @ingridscott6743 Год назад +18

    I can relate so much to your experience. I’m in my 50s and currently in my final year of nursing school. I am the oldest in my cohort and felt the same way you did about “all the younger, brilliant, smart” students in my class that eventually dropped out or did not make it. You learn very quickly to accept 75% is good on some exams and that it’s not all about getting A’s anymore. It’s really about making sure you can truly understand and apply what you learn. Also agree that clinicals are not as scary as we have been told. Bottom line is - Believe in yourself and trust that God will help you get through it. Thank you so much for inspiring and encouraging older students. You are amazing! 🙏😊

    Thank you very much. This is really for me. I'd be 57 in five month's time and planning to apply for a pre-reg Nursing. I have a Master's degree but nothing else has given me fulfilment as I'd love to care for people. Self-actualisation as in Maslow's Theory, I'd say...
    I pray my dream comes true. That would be my second chance in life, especially with this programme. God bless you for the inspiration!

My younger classmates were wonderful with me. I am terrified but excited. I think with God's help we mature students/nurses very determined...we can all do it with God's help .

  • @redd1911
    @redd1911 Год назад +3

    I will be 50 in three months and have 10 months left in graduate school. It is tough because I have a debilitating health condition that challenges me daily, but I still managed to get all A's so far. I completed the LPN program in 1997 and received a bachelor's degree in 2004. I have been out of school since that time, so graduate school is a challenge, but I'm resilient and will see it through. If I can do it, I feel like others can as well.

    Congrats👏👏👏! Same experience here. Went back to school at 39 years old and I was 1 of the oldest ones. Started my technical school programme in Nursing for 2 years then continued my studies to the tertiary level for another 2.5 years. Again I was the oldest in the class. Graduated last year march. Feeling of satisfaction that I went through nursing school and acquired my diploma in Nursing at 44 years old. ☺️ So I ya, I agreed 💯% that age is just a number,. 😊

Ive been trying to get a good paying job and it has sucked by not getting a good paying job yet... I live in ATL and because ive been in the military i can go to school and get $2200 per month. Im leaning on the side of going back to get my RN, but i just feel like i waisted so much time getting other degrees in the past😢
