Chi Philosophy- A 70 year old father says to his son, 'I am going to learn to play the piano.' The son said, 'What would be the point of that, at your age.' The father replied, 'The point would be that when I am 75 I will know a lot more about playing the piano than I do today.'...... Where ever you are, get started!

So true Cloudy. I am 41 and begin my EEN Diploma very soon on July the 11th, at the Mater hospitatl, Brisbane. If you want to do something, just do it. Age is only a number.

All the best to everyone...hope you'll have a wonder learning experience. Geez, when you mention your ages, i feel like a geriatric on caffeine!!! I started mine when I was 44 and that was years ago...sob. Don't remind me that the next set of wheels that I will be looking at would come with a free BRIGHT ORANGE FLAG, runs on rechargeable batteries and only carries one!!

Fantastic Advice NurseJane. You are right, never too old as long as you can get up and do it.
