Hi! I'm 39, married, 3 BOYS (12,9,5). Decided after 14 yrs working as an accountant that I wanted to be a nurse, so 2 yrs ago I went back to school. What a shock! Am starting 2nd semester of BSN program this spring. Absolutely love nursing! Don't know why I waited so long. My 1st semester instructor introduced me to this website. I've already found tons of useful info, especially study tips. Can't wait to try them.

Hi everyone. I've been reading posts on this forum off and on for about a year and finally decided to post because I JUST GOT MY LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE INTO THE NURSING PROGRAM!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeee. I am soo excited. This is a second career for me. I have been a CPA for 20+ years but wanted a change. I am really looking forward to classes starting in January. Can anyone give me an idea of how much time they spend a week in class, lecture, clinic, studying? I am 47, married with 4 children and a dog. Sometimes I wish I was 20 years younger, I feel so old compared to the other students, but there are always a few other older students in my classes, so I don't feel out of place. Good luck to all .

Hey everyone. I am 33, married with a 14 year old son. I just finished up my 1st semester in nursing school. I am going for my RN. I have 4 more semesters to go. I have wanted to be a nurse since I was little. I am so lucky to have the opportunity to go to school. I love it. I love helping people and cannot wait till I graduate. I am enjoying this website. There are lots of great tips on here. Thank you.

Hi Everyone!! I am 36, married, and a mother of a 7 and an 8 year old. I have a BS in business administration/management and am starting an accelerated BSN/RN program in two weeks! In just 14 months I will have my BSN/RN. I am nervous as we will be taking 22 credits in the Spring, 18 in the summer and then 22 again in the Fall. I am a really good student in college, make the Dean's list, graduated with honors, etc. but I know this will be totally different and have accepted that I will not get such good grades. I just hope to do WELL.
