Hello from South Carolina! I am 39 years old. I am a Paramedic with 17 years experience in EMS and decided to go back to school to be a nurse. I have 21 y/o son, a 38 y/o step-son, a 35 y/o step-daughter, and 4 grandchildren. Very much the "non-traditional" student. Any advice on how to survive nursing school would greatly be appreciated. I am very much interested in flight nursing or emergency nursing as a career. My hobby is fishing every chance I get.
