Best of luck to you Jason.  If God has put this desire in your heart, He will be faithful to see you through it.  I will be praying for you.

Jason, I wasn't a very good student as an undergrad. But I went back to school 15+ years later for grad school (most grad school students do this much sooner!) and finished at the top of my class!!! I would not have DREAMED this was possible had you asked me beforehand. I've heard that folks who go back to school later in life are more motivated and thus make far BETTER students. So don't fear school, you can do it. In fact, you likely WILL do it! (If that is where the Lord leads you, be confident!)

Jason,

I agree with Mike and Laura. When I went through nursing school, I was 19 and the youngest (22 when I graduated). There was many mature students in my class and their life experience was so helpful. There was one man in particular that I remember, his name was Fred and he was 38. He had been a trucker and had done poorly in highschool. Actually considered himself unintelligent because of highschool and never considered doing more schooling. He met his wife late in life, who was an RN and she encouraged him to go for it. He was one of the top in the class!
I am proud of you for considering making this big change. I really don't think you will regret it. Not only will it boost your self esteem when you do well but it's a stepping stone for the future. Pray about it as you are and I will pray for you too!

Brenda.
