no, its not too late to be an RN.......you can go to your local college or university and see what will transfer and what you will have to take in order to get in the program......good luck to you! 

Too late? Are you kidding? i was 40 with a law degree when I started nursing school, and I know nurses who started when they were even older than me! The top three graduates in my class were the three oldest of us - all in our 40's!

As MichelleReade said, it's never too late!

 Certainly not! There are many accelerated BSN options for those who already have a Bachelor's degree, if that interests you.

Is it too late to be a RN? that's a young-un talking...

I hope not! I'm going back to school. And at 55 with an undergraduate degree that I received > 30 yrs ago, I hardly feel my age. I figure I have at least 12-15 more years where I'll be working and want to make the most of them.

It's not too late to be an RN. There were so many second courser nowadays. They were older than you actually and I think nothing is impossible if you are really willing to pursue your goal. ^_^

NEVER too late....I am 39 and going back to school for my RN...I have a degree in Broadcast Journalism and was an EMT after that.  Lots of people change their minds later in life because they are more mature and know what they want to do for a career forever.  I wish I were 27!  You go for it!

You have got to be kidding At 27 years old you have to think about when you will retire if you plan on working the rest of your life.  You have over 30 years to work yet and you might as well do a job that you want to do not just get up and go to work to get a paycheck.  I'm over 50 and will graduate in Dec. with my Associates degree.  NEVER EVER TOO LATE FOR ANYTHING!! Go for it!!

It's never too late!  I am 36 and I would say that over half of the people in my ADN program are older than me.  There's even a guy that is in his late 50's/early 60's! 

It is not too late.  I am going to talk to an advisor in August for fall semester and they said that they will help out in any way.  Don't give up.  I am starting myself.  Don't let your goal/dream pass up.

I'm a blond, but what's an ADN!?

I will be 39 in October and in 19 days will begin my THIRD nursing program.  The first program was a bad fit for me, the second was too expensive and hopefully the third time is the charm. I would advise anyone at any age to go for it. If it's really what you want to do, the desire never goes away! I've learned this from personal experience.  My program is an ADN and after graduation I plan on getting my BSN-there's no telling what my age will be at that point! 

I have had students in their 60's, who finished the program, graduated, and got their RN license.  Talked to one a few weeks ago:  she's been working a year and is still in love with what she is doing.

It is never too late to go to nursing school.

As you see, most of us are older! I'm 41 and will graduate my LVN when I turn 42, from there I will continue my AND (advanced degree of nursing) and more then likely my BSN. Most of the school is older females in the RN programs. Most have been LVNs for some time! You will do great if its your passion!! Good Luck.

GOOD LUCK

It is never too late to go to school. I became an RN at 29.. CRNA at 40 and am a part time law student in my 50s.

.27 too old? I drink scotch older than that.
