Pfft, you young'uns :P
In all seriousness though, I've found that with my placements, quite a few of the service users/support workers have been quite positive that I'm such a young nurse and they find it quite surprising. I find that they like a part of the "younger generation" want to do something helpful/caring/supportive with their lives.
I don't think I've ever really been involved with any professionals in my care that have been younger than me, but I know my parents said that with Pip's care at the hospital, generally the younger nurses were the better nurses to talk to about things. I wouldn't mind if there was someone younger than me treating me, if anything it impresses me that they've worked hard to get where they want to be at a younge age.
Hope that helps :) xxx
