Hello,


I've never posted here before or anywhere as far as that is concerned.  So this is all new to me.  I do use FB, but never tried this.  I am wanting to become a nurse. I like to know if there is an apptitude test.  Truth is I have done secretarial or bookkeeping all my adult life.  I am 48yrs old now.  I thought about nursing when I was 17yrs old but hated needles and that I couldnt detach myself emotionally.  Im no longer as terrifed of needles and have helped many family members with either heart problems, hip replacement, copd, and two while dying of cancer.  Now my husband with double knee replacement.  I'd love to do it I just dont want to fool myself at my age.  Anyone have some feed back.  I want feed back from the age stand point, stories of why you did it, to education... Please and Thank you
