Congratulations!! May I ask how old you are? I've thought about going thru their program but I'm 42 and I worry that I'd be the oldest student there.

You are never too old to go back to school. When I went to otc I attended classes with all ages! Do it!!!

You are not too old! I graduated from nursing school at 41 and while most other students were younger, I was not the oldest.

I went to school with a dude who was 60 going for his nursing degree, your never too old and NO ONE will shame you. I'd say a third of my class was your age when I went.

OTC is great because everyone going there is all ages. Don't let that stop you! What matters is not the age, what matters is you go. You will be on the same playing field as everyone because you will all be starting out at the beginning.

Even MSU and Drury has those transfer students so they also still have a mix of ages. Just go chase your dream!
