Congratulations!! I think you'll find a mixture of students - quite a lot your age or just finished school and then a range of older students as well. Don't worry mature age students don't bite ;-) and can be really good as they bring a lot of life experience into classes. Oh and just because they are "mature age" doesn't mean they don't have fun :-)

A lot of mature age people do div 2 coz they have been either away from nursing for a long time and need to start again, or they have decided in a career change.

But then you get young girls and some guys who just want to start out doing div 2 or they didnt get the entry score for uni to be an RN. Either way its a good mixture you get.
