I don’t agree with your husband at all. Go for it. I bet you will be a great nurse!
My charge nurse became a nurse at 50
I was 30 and a single mom of 3 when I became a LVN, and I’ll be 37, and a mom of 4, when I graduate with my RN in a couple weeks! DO IT! It’s NEVER to late to follow your dreams!

Your never to old to follow your dreams
Screw him darlin. Do it!!!
You are soooo not too old to follow your dreams, go for it, don’t let your husband discourage you
I’m afraid to ask what is more age appropriate. 
the audacity of some people.
Never too old to learn
Definitely not too old. If you retire at 65, you still have 30 more years of being a nurse. If you don’t wanna retire at that age, you have MANY years left to work in your chosen field!

You are never too old to pursue ways to improve yourself or to reach for a new goal or career. I completed my last masters degree when I was 50.
Wow! Way to be a cheerleader and root for each other, bro. High middle finger to the husband.
There’s never an age limit on going back to school to make something of your self🤷🏼♀️
Never to old go for it be happy

Screw your husband. You’re never too old to have dreams and goals. It sounds to me like he just doesn’t want you to flourish in life and be happy! Continue doing what you wanna do and get your LPN and go kick ass doing what you love!
It sounds like he doesn’t want you to succeed. Because once you do better you’ll want better and he knows it. Do what you want to do!

You can be an LPN in 2 years, you will only be 34, you can work 20-25 years in a career you enjoy. I say go for it, and tell your hushand to support you or not!!!
Do it! Never too old to go for what you’ve always wanted, loads of time to still find something to do in your old age! 
Your husband sounds like his last two brain cells are fighting to stay alive. Be an LPN if you want to be. Ignore him

These are all fantastic responses but my opinion is, any man who does not support your desires and dreams is not worth your time. If it makes you happy then go for it!!! Don’t ever let a man base your judgment on career unless it’s justified. Plenty of us moms put our life on the back burn due to kids and other responsibilities. You do you girl. #moveon. #byefelicia

You are not too old! There are women who are in their 50’s and went to RN School! The nurses that I have worked with and who went back to school later in their life have actually been better in everything that they did! They have more life experience than a young person just out of high school! Be the best that you want to be! There is no stopping what you can accomplish!

I was 34 when I got my LPN. To me it was a lot easier because my kids were a little older and my life was more stable than it was in my 20s. I am 45 now and never had any issues going to school or working as an LPN
In what world is 32 too old for anything except maybe dating a 16 year old

You are never to old to take a step towards a steady and happy future… Do what you want and need…I don’t understand how your husband could be anything but supportive 
The way I see it is in 2 years you’re still going to be 2 years older. Why not get an LPN and have something to show for those 2 years

Bologna! I was 29 when I decided that I wanted to be an RN and as one of my professors said “You will be the same age if you go or if you don’t go, so what does age have to do with it?” Follow your dream!

34 is not old. Do it!
More your age? Does he think there are no LPNs over the age of 30 or what? That’s a weird response and I would wonder why he said that.
I’m turning 33 this year and currently in the 3rd semester of nursing school. I will be graduating with my RN in August

34 is absolutely not too old and it’s a great career move. I know $ may be a factor for you as you stated but I would really try to do your RN back to back bc if you don’t it’s hard to bridge from lpn to RN. Also I’m sure you know there is more opportunity as a RN for example my current city(which is a big major city) rarely will accept Lpn they all want RN. Good luck to you though we need nurses and medical professionals I wish you all the best on your career advancement journey.
I just turned 50 and am considering going into nursing. I NEVER once thought I might be too old??
