@christinahughes_: Think you’re too old or your memory is too bad for nursing school? READ THIS. 👇 A year ago, I thought the same thing. I went back to nursing school in my late 40s with a TERRIBLE memory, convinced I wasn’t smart enough to make it. I graduated. I passed NCLEX. I became a nurse at 48. 🩺 And I learned HOW to study when memorizing things doesn’t come easy. Now I want to share the study tricks that actually worked for me, because if you’re struggling like I was… you may not need to study MORE. You may need to study DIFFERENT.
I’m 62 and I’ve always wanted to be a nurse I’m in the low end of health care right now I’ve watched my daughter become a nurse and when she received her RN badge I clipped it on my collar and she cried because she knows how much I wanted to become a nurse 💙

I am glad to have found a community of people that I can relate to! Start Nursing school in January and I am 53. Like so many others have stated “ what if I can’t retain the information “ that has been my biggest fear. But we are doing it! Congratulations in advance to myself and all of you’

Yes. I’m nervous for most of the reasons mentioned in the comments. While I find the funding, etc. I’m seeing my algorithm change more towards the more positive side of Nursing. I’m even looking for another healthcare field like Rad Tech, MRI, Sonography, etc. in case I have to shift my focus. Congratulations to all who are in school or graduating! 🥰♥️
