❤❤❤Today I woke up thinking about what is my passion or what does my heart tells me. I've always wanted to become a RN when I was younger. I woke up to a news interview on the television, with a nurse talking and she was talking and giving encouraging words to those who was thinking about it. Then i came across your youtube video and and it was so aspiring..I'm going to do more research and get my nursing journey started thanks for sharing❤❤❤
I'm a 45 year old senior in nursing school. I will be graduating in December 2025 with my bachelor's degree in nursing. The best decision I've could have made. There is no age limit on education. You can do it!!
I’m a 44 year old senior in nursing school, also graduating with my Bachelor’s degree in nursing December 2025! I’m proud of us; I pray for favor and victory in your life.
There may not be an age limit on education but age definitely puts limits on how much or little info you can process at a time & the patience needed to tolerate those the same age as your cheren or grandcheren😂 I graduated last year @40! Too much attitude & not enough consistency to accomplish what I have if I’d started any sooner!! CONGRATS 🎊 🎉 You’re exactly where you are supposed to be at 45!!! Let’s go!!!!!! Ayyyyyyyy 💯🤗👏🏾👏🏾🫶🏽
I worked with a woman who went back to school at 45 to become an RN. Got her bachelor's by 47. Her Masters by 49 or 50 and now she's a nurse practitioner and she's 54. It can be done ❤❤❤❤
@@tray99847 Yes it is because I feel that was her way of letting me know, As long as your brain and body is able you can do it, And it seem like every 2 years she was accomplishing a new goal
@@rhondaj3117 you all inspired me because I was working as a Pharmacist Tech for 29 years but a cancer diagnosis turned my life upside down… and I am 58 so I am preparing myself to take a medical billing and coding course, so once I get my CPC certification then I will do my online degree. Thank God I found this channel 🙏 Good luck to everyone 🙌
Hello, I'm 40 and I'm going back to school to become a Surgical Assistant. I truly believe that at 40 my life is just beginning. I am so excited to pivot and begin my career in the medical field.
Greetings, I am 46 currently a CNA for the past 15 years, I am also in nursing school now class of 2025. I have no regrets on how long it took me to get to this level in my life. It’s never too late for anyone to earn an education. I put my education on hold just to take care of my kids who are now a senior in college and the other just graduated with his masters. Now it’s my time to shine my kids are my biggest inspiration and yes they help me with my studies as well. I have plenty of mentor from my job and plenty of support from family. Anyone can do it. Congratulations to you and may God bless you tremendously.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 YAyyy!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so encouraged by all my over 40 people who have just anialated every age misconception by getting their R.N. Thank you for your encouragements. I am 39 & thinking of going back to school to get my nursing degree.🤞🏾
I'm 51 and I graduated in 1997 with a BS that I never used. I had earned my LPN while in HS and planned to go on to medicine in college. Well, that didn't happen. Marriage, children and bills; life happened. I decided to go back to get my RN degree but it was never the right time. Now, at 51, I'm in my 2nd semester of my AA RN degree and will graduate in May 2025. My plan is to continue on to receive my MSN. I try to forget about the "years I"ve wasted" and focus on what is to be gained. It's never too late to start and achieve your goals.
I became a RN at 37 and pregnant my last year of nursing school. I saw that I took school more seriously in my older age. I'm a school nurse and I'm 41 now. I love it !!! It doesn't matter your age, go for it !!
I’m 32 and I went to college at 22 I dropped out very unmotivated and i only had 3 more months to finish my program but i definitely take it more seriously now
In my LPN class, there was a classmate that was 53! Ms. Yvette, and we all respected her and cheered her on. Its doable. I've seen it done. Best wishes to all.
I'm 42 and I just graduated. THANK YOU, LORDT!! I was fighting for my life the whole time!! I'm now preparing for Big Mama NCLEX!! Y'all can do it too!! ❤❤
My dream was to always be a nurse. I’m 41 and I feel the urge to fulfill this for myself. Thanks for the motivation and giving me the courage to pursue this ❤
I hear ppl say that you need to be organized, and I find it kind of hilarious because I'm the most disorganized person ever! LOL yet I passed nursing school with flying colors...the only challenge is keeping up with your assignments. The concepts aren't difficult at all, especially if you appreciate science and the human body. I'm starting the NP program in the winter to get my doctorate!! Yahoo :-)))) hat's off to ALL the Black nurses!! You ladies ROCK!!! Remember that nurses are the largest profession in the country, and yet only 10% of RNs are Black!!! Continue to be an inspiration to our younger sisters, daughters, nieces, etc. xoxox
@@Slimm_Sheedah1 and you know what's crazy? I took the fast-track program, and only to realize last semester that it was super hard to catch up that 24hrs is not enough. I imagine myself holding to a post while the fireman is blowing the strongest water pressure on me hahaha!!!
I apperciate all of these comments. These comments are extremely encouraging. I am in my early 40's and starting my LPN program hopefully in Jan 2025. I am finishing up my pre-requisites.
Im over 40 and just applied to nursing school!! Im nervous and excited 😊 Thank you for sharing your journey and encouraging others that it’s never too late and its doable ❤
I’m 42 & just passed my HESI!! I was nursing for 3 years in college & changed my major. Now I’m going after what i really really wanted!! Thank you for this video!💪🏾💕
I'll be 40 in February, and I'm about to start my pre-nursing classes next month. You're exactly who I needed to hear from today. I've been having alot of self doubt about it given my age and not thinking I'll be able to do it.
Awesome! Young Queen 👸🏾 I am hitting 60, next year. So I chasing “my nursing license” (LVN) DESTINY too. I have experienced in home health field also, since 2019. I want to work, in the geriatrics field, Besides, I’m mama if you l 30 years old or grandma if you in your 20’s. TY so much for the encouragement!‼️ Glad I found your 😊channel.
Sis thank you soo. Much. I’m 49 and starting my journey. I came across your video, and I feel so much better. I am studying to pass the Hesi right now.
I enjoyed this video at 40 I will be applying to nursing school in 2025 trying to finish my last prerequisites. This video is so helpful and inspiring .I realized writing things down work for me as well I retain it better. As you mentioned I have people much older than me in my classes it's nice ❤
You ladies motivate me I’ve been a nurse for 10 years I’m 33 now … I’m considering CRNA school but thought it was to late … thanks for the motivation …
You can work in other areas pacu, icu, micu, you need 1 yr then apply to cena school . I was a OR nurse for 4 yrs crnas. Love their job! You can absolutely do it!
Hi! I’m 40 and just started nursing school this Fall and I have 3 kids, all in middle school and I work full time! It’s going to be hard but worth it!! I know this is the best decision for my family and for myself. ❤
I love the support. Delay is not a denial. I am 45 as well. I went through the stages CNA, LPN, and now going for my BSN Nursing. I am excited and ready to graduate 😊🎉🎉❤❤
Why do people put age limits on everything? I feel like it's a form of discrimination at this point. It doesn't matter when you do it just get it (whatever it may be) done!
That’s why I made the video friend. Because society likes to put the social construct on us especially women it’s disheartening of course but we are here to prove them wrong.
I've been thinking lately if I should still pursue the dream of nursing or not and here this video pops up ❤ 41, and nursing was a dream that's been sidetracked so many times that I began to think maybe it wasn't meant. The last time I tried years ago, I passed my HESI and was on a waiting list, but the school closed. From there, COVID made me really re-think things. Now, my kids are pretty much grown and my youngest is getting ready to graduate and wants to go to nursing school too, so the whole idea has come back around. This video makes me think that maybe it just wasn't time for me then, but that doesn't mean it can't be my time now. That's what comes with maturity, too, wisdom ✨️ Thank you!
Great video! I am 41 and just graduated nursing school and taking the boards tomorrow! EVERYTHING in your video is the honest TRUTH! I did all of this! I am married (23 yrs) and 4 kids and have a part time job. Another tip for us "older" adult students is get your finances in order so that the financial stress will not hinder your learning or be on top of the nursing school stress! You can do it no matter what age! If it is your dream/passion and you are capable and able= DO IT! ❤
Appreciate this! Over 50 started an accelerated nursing program and had issues with family obligations. Because I am 100% committed, starting another program (not accelerated). I think it will be better for me. Of course, still challenging, I'm sure, but having that experience, I really know what to expect. Your advice is spot on!!! Thank You!
Just subscribed! I loved all your points, I am in the final stretch of pre-req, I just started A&P last Wed. I have my lab tomorrow, plus working from home. It’s been a while since I had to get my clothes ready, think about packing a lunch and mostly staying on a schedule. I said don’t bother me, I have to do well in this class above 80%. I love the tips and I hope you’re enjoying your new role ❤ and btw, I turned 40 this year.
I’m 54 and just started nursing school. I went to CNA school in 2009 and went to nursing school 2011 didn’t finish for Various reasons. Fast forward to now I’ve been a scene and now for 16 years and I am a lead CNA at my facility and it’s a very easy position and I enjoy it and I decided to take an accelerated course 12 months at a school here in Michigan and I start classes October 7. Funny thing is is I got tutoring to take my Hesi test and myself and 4 other coworkers all over 40 I’m the oldest…we all decided to go together so we’re all going together so we can help each other along the way I’m extremely excited.
Thank you for this video .. the encouragement is needed by me … I take the hesi exam in 10 days 🙏🏽 and plan on applying for the nursing program for winter 2025… becoming a RN has been a long time coming .. I will succeed.. thank you and have a blessed day
I am 40 and WILL graduate at the age of 41 in May. I am also a lifelong student. Part-time what seemed like forever just to get thru prerequisites, but GOD!!! 😊
40 next month and decided to change careers. Retired stylist. Taking my NCLEX-PN in a few weeks. After that going for my RN then MD🎉 enjoying the journey
Thank you for the Video! Yes"! No age limit to Learning! I'm a mom of 3 I have 2 high school kids left in the house ✅ I start my Nursing BSN Journey Jan 6🎉 I will be Graduating at 49 ✅
Wow, this could be a sign because I was just thinking if I can & should do it & I’m casually scrolling on TH-cam & boom…I see this video 😮 I’ve been so worried that I’m too old at 36 to go do nursing😢 watching this video and reading amazing comments is an inspiration.
I just finished nursing school at 41. I was more focused and dedicated. I don't think I would have taken nursing school seriously as a younger adult. For sure not at 21. There is never an age on education or changing your career.
Thank you for the encouragement, I’m on a new journey and chapter of my life since the sudden passing of my husband in July 2024. You opened my lens to see more clearly that at 57 young that it is possible to begin again. Blessings 💜🙏
Hi I’m 45 I dropped out of school 2nd quarter because of life and situation I had to take Of plus my financial issues I may get back at it I’ll have to see
Joyful Day Amazing Rasheedah!!!! Thank you kindly for sharing. I"m 52 and I just applied to college to get started with pre reqs for nursing school!!!!
WOW! Thank you for this video. Im new to your channel and I just clicked on it because Ive really been thinking about going back to school for Nursing.Ive been a CNA over 15yrs. I just dont understand why these schools want you to take a test in order to get accepted in Nursing school. I'll be 39 this year and Im trying to get it.
I’m 56 and graduate with a BSN, RN in 5 weeks…. Nursing school is a Beast I have a MBA and a MSW and getting this degree kicked my a$$…. My cohort never knew my age lol… And that was never relevant … You can make $300 hour being a PICC Nurse, my goal…. Eventually….. It was paid for by a scholarship and cost me nothing…. Never failed any classes…. I feel prepared for the NCLEX Not easy but you can do it too….

Inspirational!! 😊 Lvn soon to be RN. Going back to school at 36! This is just what I needed to hear 🩷🩷
Love that!
Im 48 will be 49 in December and im thinking about going to nursing school next fall. I was gonna go when i was younger but life got in the way.
Yes that happens. But we have a chance to still pursue
Loved this! Nursing School really is NO JOKE. I’m working on being better organized.
Sho ain’t! Thanks for watching
RN at 40 her🙌🏽
Yesssssss
I just turned 40 years this year and I'm glad i found this page. Following already. I hope to explore nursing as a career and I i feel so inspired.
Great! I’m happy for you and thanks for being here!
Great video! I am 41 and just graduated nursing school and taking the boards tomorrow! EVERYTHING in your video is the honest TRUTH! I did all of this! I am married (23 yrs) and 4 kids and have a part time job. Another tip for us "older" adult students is get your finances in order so that the financial stress will not hinder your learning or be on top of the nursing school stress! You can do it no matter what age! If it is your dream/passion and you are capable and able= DO IT! ❤
Right the financial aspect is the most important
Appreciate this! Over 50 started an accelerated nursing program and had issues with family obligations. Because I am 100% committed, starting another program (not accelerated). I think it will be better for me. Of course, still challenging, I'm sure, but having that experience, I really know what to expect. Your advice is spot on!!! Thank You!
YW cuz!!
50 and strongly considering. Just what I needed to hear. Thank you.
YW cuz
Yesssss some of the best classmates I have are 40+ they are so smart
🥰🥰🥰
Just subscribed! I loved all your points, I am in the final stretch of pre-req, I just started A&P last Wed. I have my lab tomorrow, plus working from home. It’s been a while since I had to get my clothes ready, think about packing a lunch and mostly staying on a schedule. I said don’t bother me, I have to do well in this class above 80%. I love the tips and I hope you’re enjoying your new role ❤ and btw, I turned 40 this year.
Happy Birthday and thank you so much ❤️❤️. Right we need to let them know this is for MY life!
@@Slimm_Sheedah1 Yes ma’am 👏
I'm 45 and I was contemplating! I needed this message! Thank you for sharing your wisdom! I want to go back to school for nursing❤
Well you know what to do now cuz❤️
I’m 54 and just started nursing school. I went to CNA school in 2009 and went to nursing school 2011 didn’t finish for Various reasons. Fast forward to now I’ve been a scene and now for 16 years and I am a lead CNA at my facility and it’s a very easy position and I enjoy it and I decided to take an accelerated course 12 months at a school here in Michigan and I start classes October 7. Funny thing is is I got tutoring to take my Hesi test and myself and 4 other coworkers all over 40 I’m the oldest…we all decided to go together so we’re all going together so we can help each other along the way I’m extremely excited.
That is such a good idea!!
I absolutely needed to hear this! Failure is not an option! Started First semester of clinical 2 weeks ago. Graduation summer 2026

Thank you for this video .. the encouragement is needed by me … I take the hesi exam in 10 days 🙏🏽 and plan on applying for the nursing program for winter 2025… becoming a RN has been a long time coming .. I will succeed.. thank you and have a blessed day
I am 40 and WILL graduate at the age of 41 in May. I am also a lifelong student. Part-time what seemed like forever just to get thru prerequisites, but GOD!!! 😊

Yes, you definitely can. I was an LPN student at 23 and then an RN student at 36, passed my RN NCLEX at 38. Yes, you can!

Wow, this could be a sign because I was just thinking if I can & should do it & I’m casually scrolling on TH-cam & boom…I see this video 😮
I’ve been so worried that I’m too old at 36 to go do nursing😢 watching this video and reading amazing comments is an inspiration.
I’m so happy!36 you are still young. Do it now!
I absolutely just posted the same comment almost 😊
I'm 43. I just got my LPN and can't wait to go back. Im not getting older, Im getting better!!

That’s the goal cuz!
Thanks beautiful! I truly need this advice 😂. I am 47yrs old and I in nursing school right now. It over warmed but I have to do it 🙏🏾
YW💖keep at it. The light is there!!
Thank God I found your channel today. Your encouragements are very uplifting 🙏 I needed to hear this. Thank you for sharing your experience.
You are so welcome!! I want you to win
@@Slimm_Sheedah1 thank you🙏🇯🇲
❤❤ thank you so much for this, just what I need to get me going.
I just finished nursing school at 41. I was more focused and dedicated. I don't think I would have taken nursing school seriously as a younger adult. For sure not at 21. There is never an age on education or changing your career.
That’s exactly how i felt!
39 graduate in 3weeks with my LPN. Signed up to finish prereqs in spring!
Good job boo❤️
Seeing all these comments from women 45 and older is so inspiring. I love it! I will be taking my prereqs in a few weeks.
Good for you! Yes the comment section is lit and I LOVE IT💖💖🥰
Thank you for the encouragement, I’m on a new journey and chapter of my life since the sudden passing of my husband in July 2024. You opened my lens to see more clearly that at 57 young that it is possible to begin again. Blessings 💜🙏
Sorry to hear that❤️. You still have life to live make it count. That’s how I look at it.
thank you 🙏
I’m 44 hope to start this January, male nurse
Yesss you got this cuz❤️
Love your videos! I’m 46 and just got accepted to nursing school. I start Jan 2025!

YW thank you for being here! Congratulations
I’m 56 and graduate with a BSN, RN in 5 weeks….
Nursing school is a Beast
I have a MBA and a MSW and getting this degree kicked my a$$….
My cohort never knew my age lol…
And that was never relevant …
You can make $300 hour being a PICC Nurse, my goal…. Eventually…..
It was paid for by a scholarship and cost me nothing….
Never failed any classes….
I feel prepared for the NCLEX
Not easy but you can do it too….
I love that!💖
