I was 31 when I got my LVN and 41 when I got my RN. I worked as a nurse until age 70…tell your husband that you are definitely NOT too old.
If it takes two years, get that RN girl!! Never too old!

Just because he puts foolish limitations on his wants, needs, and goals, doesn’t mean you can’t follow your own path! Part of me says that you should dump him, but there are variables to consider. Personally, if this was the only incident where he doubted your abilities, I’d stay with him, even if it is only long enough to say. WATCH ME!!!

I was 31 an 1 of my class mates was 59. She turned 60 while we were in school. No your not to old
Is the course to become an LPN 2 years? Then you’ll be ready by the time you’re 34…do it!
Never too old. A lady I know who I think is in her 50s a couple years ago obtained her nursing license. Not sure if LPN or ??
Be what your want to be. FOLLOW YOUR DREAM. Don’t even know you but may I say “You go girl”.
Throw the whole man away, go to

I didn’t become an RN or even apply to nursing school until I was 34!! Someone that negative in your life needs to see himself out of your life!
No you are not to old. Tell your husband to kick rocks about telling you that you are too old. He should support you.

I went back to school for nursing in my 30’s, I think I was 34, best thing I ever did for myself! Keep this tucked in the back of your mind, you can always support yourself, as I did!!

I was 43 when I went back to school and started a new career. Never been happier. Do it!!
Continue your journey as an LPN:two_hearts:. Allow God to lead you not your husband:pray:
Oh please. I started a new job at 43. Not necessarily a new career path but a job in a totally different field than anything I’ve ever done. 34 is young.

I got my RN at 47. You are never too old.
Is he a downer and jot supportive in other aspects of your life too? Sounds like bs to me. Is he having to actually take care of something or someone else while you’re doing class?

I’m 28 and just started working and I’m just about to graduate with my AA. I didn’t want to start because everyone I knew had been working for years and graduated years ago but I was nowhere near the oldest in any of my classes and I’m one of the youngest at my job. I was worried for no reason. The time will pass anyway. You can use it wisely or not but it will pass nonetheless. You’ve got this! He says you can’t? Show him you can!
Not too old! Follow you’re heart. You could always study and take your Medical Assistant certification exam and if you pass it you can work in a doctors office. I did that and worked in a Dermatology office and got to do a lot of hands on stuff. It’s cheaper and quicker so it’s an option.
Never ever too old! My mom went to nursing school at 48. She was the oldest in her class and graduated at the top of her class. She loved nursing and her patients! She is 86 now and retired. Y ou go girl and do what YOU want to do!
Graduated at 41 with my bsn. Never too late and I enjoy my day every day
Um you’re definitely not too old wtf lol there’s no age bracket for the medical field and 32 is not old anyway… I don’t care if I was 40 years old and wanted to go back to school to become a damn astronaut my husband would be like you got this girl get it👏🏻… your husband should support and encourage you with whatever you want to do.

I never understand these stereotypes that individuals are too old for any portion of the medical field. I’m 25 and working on getting into medical school. I’ve talked to others who are significantly older than I am (particularly, I met a 50 year old applying to medical school). There’s no such thing as being ‘too old to go back to school.’ 32 is young still. You have a significant amount of life experience behind you that will be beneficial to your application, acceptance and work upon obtaining your LPN.
Never too old! I had women over 50 start their RN’s wich is 4 years when I took my course! You can do it mama!

No you’re never too old! I’m 34 and going to start for my real estate licence next month lol but just fyi they will be phasing out lpns in the future. So you’ll eventually have to get your rn license.
Get your LPN and then start working on your RN
I think he may be thinking about how his life ‘style’ will be disrupted by your change.
Girl, I’m old enough to be your mom……and I am thinking about going back to school to be a sonogram tech.
Only problem……well 2 problems:
It’s pretty expensive

You’re NOT too old. Get your rest in gear and live your dream.
Not true! I became an RN at 25 but had classmates in their 50s- and due to their life experience and time management, they were not only the best students but probably the best, strongest, most well rounded nurses i know. I taught nursing school as a professor for a year and would hands down have a 40+ year old student over a 25 year old. So much more focused and understanding of patients needs.

There is a nurse that they cover her story almost every year who is in her 90s and running circles around the younger nurses! Not sure if she is still alive, but age has nothing to do with it.

Smh…You are never to old to accomplish a dream…tell your husband he can keep his negative comments to himself and move along…there are people who are getting their degrees at 90 yrs old…dont let him hold u back…

My Mom became an RN the same yr I graduated high school , AGE IS JUST A NUMBER !!! 
Shame on your husband for saying such a thing. You are never too old. Friend of mine changed her career in her late 40’s requiring going back to college. She has been in her new career for just a few years. This is her last year in her 50’s. Tell your husband to shut it if he can’t be supportive, I suspect he’s more afraid as you get more confident you might not need him anymore? Yes an RN would give you better options but you have to start where you can. Look around, some hospitals might pay for you to get the RN once you commit to working for them. DON’T GIVE UP!! And assure your husband you aren’t going anywhere, unless he keeps this negative crap up. If he’s been paying attention the past few years, the medical fields are needing people and probably always will as the population ages. Maybe he needs a little more education!! 
Do it! And tell him to stop belittling your dreams
I’m 36 and will be 37 and I’m finishing my RN

If you’re passionate or even excited about a new career, you’re never too old. Also, mid-thirties is YOUNG. Go get it girl!
go where God leads can’t go wrong that way
Who’s he to decide that for you? That’s your decision, you do what makes you happy, what fulfills you, he needs to be supportive and love seeing you happy fulfilling your dreams… You want to be an LPN do it, Go for it, don’t let anything hold you back, I’m proud of you for having the courage to pursue it… Good for you
