Short answer: no.

Long answer: what 's the worst that could happen? Best case scenario is that you achieve what you set out to achieve. Worst case scenario is that it doesn't work out and have to go back to nursing - albeit with new knowledge. So even in that situation, you could leverage your knowledge to improve your position.

I know someone who worked in law and switched to the transportation sector (started studying again) at just above 30. Not 46, but not fresh out of high school, either. I met someone yesterday who used to be a restaurant boss and reschooled to be become a train attendant. You would be far from the only person doing something like that - and even if you were - as I said, what's the worst that could happen? Go for it.
