Published

How about a thread that will allow us to introduce ourselves to those who are new and the new students can do the same.

I am Stephany, 42, mother of 3 children, a son 22, a daughter 15, and a son 13. I am an LPN of nearly 11 years, and I am in my first semester of a five-semester rn program.

Care to share?

Hi all! My name is Laura and I will start nursing school in August. I am very excited, although a little nervous! Unfortunately, I have no experience working in the hospital, although I was one of the first Nurse Aide's to be certified when they started requiring certification!!! Many years ago!! Anyway, I started school a little late in life, so I am determined to make the best of it and get working ASAP to make up for lost time. I plan on getting my MSN and becoming a nurse practitioner once I am done with my ADN. Good luck to all~

Hi everyone I'm Heidi, 28 yrs old. Currently doing (2nd year 1st semester) 3rd semester of BA in Nursing (Pre-Registration) at Flinders University, Adelaide South Australia.

Co-Secretary FUNMSA (Flinders University Student Association)

FURHS Member (Flinders University Rural Health Services)

I'm really loving 2nd year. Although the workload is harder than last year. Things seem to make a lot more sense than they did last year and we get to do a lot more clinical stuff which is always good.

Hi , my name is Jane. I'm a 46 year old mom of two boys in college. I've had one year under my belt and was accepted into the NHTI nursing program on my first try. I was in a Physical Therapist Assistant/Occupational Therapy Asst degree program last fall when my husband had a stroke in November. I had to take 3 Incompletes which I finished in January while I was starting A&P II and Eng Comp. Those two are done now and I'm working for the summer b/c my husband is not back to work yet. While my husband was in the hospital for a month, I "interviewed" several therapist assistants and found they just weren't making enough to support a family. I talked to quite a few nurses up at Dartmouth and found that they were making considerably more so after considering all this, I took the NLN, applied to three nursing schools and got in two.

I'm excited to get going this fall. I plan on attaining my Masters as a Nurse Practitioner. Then I will really be able to support us.
