go for it! I dont know where you are, but I say get yourself to your local college, discuss what you want to do (nursing) and they will advise you how best to go about it.

I know where I am in SW Scotland they have amazing courses and you will be welcomed.

PS I restarted my career at 44! Went back to college and Ive got a decent job now after divorce and time to regroup.

You are NEVER too old to learn or to make a new career for yourself.
