In summary, age and experience can play a crucial role in making a successful career change to nursing. While it may be a challenging transition, older individuals with prior work experience bring valuable skills and knowledge to the field. Additionally, nursing programs offer opportunities for career changers to build upon their existing expertise and adapt to the demands of the profession. With determination and dedication, age and experience can be powerful assets in pursuing a fulfilling and successful career in nursing.

Another newby here... I am a 61 year-old RN who had an extensive background in residential and commercial construction before graduating nursing school at age 40. I work at a tribal health care facility. I am a recent widower with a large family and nine wonderful grandchildren. My hobbies are powerboats, muscle cars, and 4x4 diesel trucks.
