hiya and welcome to the site, i agree with everyone else that age doesnt matter as you may have life experience but it will be different to someone who is older than you, can i ask what have you done in preparation for example have you got any patient care experience or have you read up on current issues by subscribing to what everyone refers to as the bible TPM, sorry if iv gone on a bit but i dont think it would be because of your age, maybe you should ask them for feedback so you no where you went wrong, hope this helps
