pip i was 28 on sunday so you're definately not the oldest. i have two friends starting in feb, one is 30 and the other is 40, so there are loads of mature students there. we will make the better nurses anyway! te he, just kidding all you young ones! seriously though you will be fine, are you doing adult branch?
