Signing up for my CNA class today!

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

Hello everyone, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Nicolle and I have been a sahm for about 13 years now. I am a 33yr old mother to 5 children. Right out of highschool I was a HHA for awhile until I had my first child at 20. I always knew I wanted to be in health care, and I would love to aim for one day obtaining my LPN, but alas that is not in the cards for me right now, too much money and too many young kids at home...lol but I am hoping within 1-2 years that will be a reachable goal. I go today at 1 pm to sign up for the 7 week night course. It cost $998 but I can pay it off weekly,which is nice. I am very excited to get started, the class begins on June 22nd, so its not too far off:yeah:. if you have any advice or words of wisdom that would be great!

I look forward to getting to know you all!

I have been so excited, but all of the sudden today, I am starting to get nervous! idk what happened!...lol I am still excited, but I am just hoping I can do this...lol it has been so long since i have been out in the "real world' i hope I can handle it!...lol

If it helps you any... before starting, I started to get cold feet, so I just decided I was overthinking it and tried to distract myself.

The first night after my first day of class, I laid in bed wondering "What have I gotten myself into?" I was really having cold feet, wanting to run and hide. It passed. I still occasionally wonder what I've gotten myself into, because if I'm going on to Respiratory Therapy or RN or Paramedic or whatever, it's just more long hours of work and school for many years in the foreseeable future. It's hard for me to look that far ahead.

I am glad to see I am not alone in my being nervous. I guess its normal when embarking on new paths in our lives, even when it is something that is very positive and something we have dreamt about doing for so long. I have been a stay at home mom for soo many years and so I am totally going to be coming out of my comfort zone. Which is a good thing, i cannot hide in my house forever..(wait can i?!..lol) I know after I am done with can class I will be going on for the pct, I dont know what will be in store for me after that, I may just want to go right for RN. The unknown is always at least a little scary. Now to just get over that fear....lol

Happy for ya, I too am very nervous - I just left after 20 years in Law Enforcement to pursue RN school. Dont know what to expect or how hard it is going to be - some people say it is hard and some say there is nothing to it - very confusing - Thinking maybe I should just go to Radiology or something and maybe it's just as hard, who knows. You are an inspiration to me anyway - I am married with two kids -

I am a SAHM too! I am starting the CNA class tonight and I am SOOO nervous. I hate feeling like this I hope it goes away once I get a few classes under my belt. How is the class going for you?

i am happy for you. i am in the same position, good luck
