Yep! And I was older than 38 when I did.
What is the career change you're looking at? I agree with Spikey, and don't give a second thought to being the old guy in class. Doubt you'd be the only person giving education a rerun.
However, not to be a downer, but you might want to consider how marketable you will be going into whatever the new career is. By all means make a change if you have the itch for something different. Just have realistic expectations of what opportunities you will have after you finish classes. A totally different career might be a challenge to break into, continuing the nursing/medical field might be easier.
Good luck with what you decide to do.
