Register for and English as a second language course at community college. Then, once you've got your English skills, apply for the associate's degree in nursing. You should also search the web for your State Board of Nursing to see about their licensure requirements. Forty is certainly not too old to be starting a new career. Many Americans are starting over at forty, so there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Many students at the community colleges are middle-aged or older who are all starting new careers: so you will have plenty of people to relate to :-)

I suggest making an appointment with the counseling office at your community college: the counselor will know exactly which courses you will need to take in order to be a nursing assistant, and the counselor will set you up with services to help you in mastering English, including the English as a Second Language (ESL) courses. There are some courses you may be able to take in your major (nursing) at the same time you are taking the ESL courses.

I wish you the best in your new career!
