Is it to late for me to start trying to get my nursing degree at 29 years old?
Ms_T asked:
I’ve been dreaming of becoming a nurse my whole life. But coming from a poor family i haven’t had the chance to really go to college for nursing. Do you like I’m starting to late at 29 years old. Cause it feels like it……And I don’t know where to start with a pass student loan. Will I be able to get another loan if the first one failed?

your definetely not to old for school. Once you get there you will see the great range in ages there. Good Luck!
You are not too old, it takes what 4 years to get the degree? Think of it like this, you are gonna be 33 in 4 yrs whether you get the degree or not, so you might as well be 33 and a nurse instead of just 33. go for your dreams! You can still get loans, talk to the advisor at your school, GO FOR IT GIRL!–Good Luck!
No it is never to late go for it.You won’t regret it.I promise you.
its not too late, dont give up! try and try again if thats what it takes. dont let anyone tell you its too late.
good heaven’s no – go for it girl. go to the financial office and tell them your issues – that’s what they are there for. Good luck!
hi there …god no its not too late…i went back to school to get my nursing degree when i was almost 23 with a baby on my own…it was hard at times but to be honest i found that they instructors were a little bit better with me than they were with the younger students with less life experience…and i found that on the whole, patients id trust me more than if i was say 17 or something going in to perform a procedure..oh and the class ranged all over the place in ages…so dont worry…the first class or two may be nervewracking but u’ll slide right in in no time…You can do it! As for the loan…go to the financial ai office…they bend over backwards to help u get the loan…Good luck!
I didn’t start nursing until I was in my thirties. I graduated in l985 and have been working for 22 years. It’s definitely not too late. You may qualify for a loan if you don’t have a defaulted loan. Nursing loans are usually forgiven I think after you start working. Good Luck! Don’t give up.
I started back in nursing school at the ripe “old” age of 44, after a 20-year absence from full-time college. There were 6 or 7 other students in my class who were over 40. Funny, some of the younger students were the same age as my children! Go for it! Apply for scholarships, too. Ask at your school about other financial aid besides loans.
Absolutely not! There are people in their 80′s that are graduating from college
Best of luck to you in your endeavors 
Here is a website for US colleges:
For general career info: and search ‘registered nurse’ or such.
No, you’re not too late to get your nursing degree. In Iowa, if one student loan fails, you can’t get another one.
