My sister is graduating next month with her LPN. She started at the local tech school her last semester of high school, and is planning on getting her RN at the local community/4 year college (Most of Florida's former community colleges now offer 4 year degrees in some fields including nursing).
There are several people in her LPN program who are switching careers.
One of my best friends is in her late 30s and married with two kids. It took her 5 years to get her AA (Mostly because of working and paying for school), but she did it. She had originally meant to go into the police force, but now is starting the nursing program to get her RN. She has told me that there are tons of people her age and older going back to school!
I would say there have been a lot of people switching fields during the last 10 years. I always had older people in my college classes training to be teachers.
