Nursing School in Your 40's: The Pros and Cons of a Delayed Start

Episode 48

Welcome SaN listeners to the year 2023!
Our guest this week is here to encourage any out there who long to be a nurse, but are not sure if they have missed that train. Mindy is a wonderful woman who knew from a young age that nursing would one day be her thing. Life sometimes has a way of sending our plans off course however, and her time for nursing was pushed back. Working first as a dental assistant, then enjoying time as a stay at home mother, she did not begin Nursing school until her kids were all in school and she was 45. Achieving your goals can sometimes take longer than anticipated, and that is not necessarily a bad thing. Mindy's experiences as a dental assistant, and mom all helped her become a more excellent nurse. Her advice to others? Try! Don't give up on your nursing dreams even if they are late in coming! It is better to try nursing than to live with regret for letting the opportunity slip by. Take a listen and be inspired!
