Who am I kidding?

I have just recently went back to work (nursing). I deal with gastro., colons. All day long. I rarely get to even see a face that is attached to the other end.  I have been rolling it over and over in my mind to go back to school, there is so much to learn in this field. Question?  Who would I be kidding at my age?  The what if's are causing alot of anxiety. Shouldn't I just be satisfied with what I have?

There is no age limit on education :-) If you want to further your education in nursing or any other field for that matter I think you should go for it. Self fulfillment is healthy. As far as the "what ifs"   throw them in the garbage.  What if's are what we do to keep from making a decision that may be a difficult or challenging one.  If we throw enough what ifs in there we can rationalize not taking the step we know we should.

Go for it Fuzzy from one old gal to another. :-)
