Summary

Guess what? You're not too old for nursing school! In fact, many older students felt they had a distinct advantage (and sometimes more than one!). In this special bonus episode I’m sharing with you all the ways older nursing students have felt they’re at an advantage so you can focus on the positives and realize it’s not too late for you to follow your dream. And yes, some students did say they felt they had a few disadvantages, so we’ll talk about what you can do to address them before classes start. Either way, I want you to know I believe in you and support you 100%! Are you looking for a way to get prepared for nursing school?
