Hi!

My name is Heidi. I am 23 years old. Married for 3 years, with one 10 month old daughter named Anna. We are trying to conceive our second now (maybe you didn't want to know that...LOL!). I have a B.S. in biology, and am finishing up the prereq's to go for my ADN. I am taking A&P and a communications class now. I hope to start nursing school fall 2003 and graduate spring of 2005. I also eventually want to get a BSN. Happy to meet all of you! I live in Minnesota.

Heidi, hello and welcome to the board! All the best to you.

Hello. My name is Jill and I'm 36 years old. I'm married with 4 kids (9, 6, 2 year old twins.) I feel I'm a lifetime student taking classes here and there to become a nurse. I'm taking biology in 2 weeks and I should be able to apply to the nursing program next year. I just finished a CNA class last month and I start a job in a lab at a hospital doing drug screening tonight.......my first medical job. I'm very excited !

Hi, it's a pleasure to meet y'all! This is my 1st post, although I've perused this board for the past month. I can't tell you how helpful and informative allnurses.com has been. Y'all are a great bunch of people

My name is Chantel, "Buttercup" is my favorite Powerpuff girl! I live in Decatur, GA (just outside of Atlanta). I'm single, share a house with one of my best friends from highschool, and have a really cool cat named Charlie. Nursing will be a 2nd career. I've been in banking for the past 13 yrs, but have been dissatisfied with it for awhile.

In March '01, my baby brother sustained a broken back/leg & nerve damage from a MVA. We were fortunate to have wonderful nurses & PT's that made a difference in his recovery. I thought how wonderful it must be to make that kind of difference in someone's life and contemplated changing careers to nursing. However, I made excuses why I should stay in my current job.

This past April, I was told that my job would be phased out in Feb '02. I knew this was a sign. As a freshman in 1983, my major had been physical therapy, and I've always regretted changing it. So I felt this was the push, or shall I say shove? that I needed to make a commitment to a nursing career.

I have quite a few pre-reqs before I can begin...Chemistry, Statistics, A & P I and II, Microbiology & Abnormal Psych. However, I must work until Feb 20, '03 to get my severence pkg. So I'm volunteering in the ICN/SCN at a local hospital and plan to start pre-req's in Jan '03.

Anyhoo, I've enjoyed getting to know you all via these posts. Now that I've gotten over my initial shyness, I plan on participating frequently. The best of luck to you all!

Chantel, and welcome to the board. Much success in your endeavors!

Hello to everyone

My name is Larry.....retired from the the military after 30 years (you do the math for my age ) I was a medic/corpsman so I decided to get my BSN

Married to my child bride for 23 wonderful years No one else for me (she's really more than I can handle...and no I'm NOT sharing)...

Right now I'm in the "wait for your transcript to arrive" stage to see if I need any prereqs, I know that I will need some. I have a BS degree but not in Nursing so there will be some fill in the blank courses to take.....

This forum is really a godsend, thank all of you for your post they have really helped me a lot and I look forward to many semesters of posting and reading others.

Mr. L

ps
My wife says I look like my avator/picture

Welcome and good luck!

Come on in Larry and enjoy!
