    It doesn’t matter what your background is, it’s never too late to become a nurse. In fact, many employers value previous work experience in nurses new to the profession. If you have a degree, you  may want to consider a variety of accelerated (or post-baccalaureate or second degree) nursing programs. They are intense but worth the effort and you can become a nurse within two years. Many programs are also part-time to accommodate you if you need to work during your studies. Don’t let how old you are hold you back from making a career switch.
