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?

Hiya Tammy. First, welcome. Second, why do you feel out of place? What you're doing sounds great. Best of luck to you and visit this board often for very useful information.

Hi everyone, I'm "zeb". I have been working in a group home for people with dev. disabilities for the past 10 1/2 years. Last summer I earned a scholarship through my job!! I just finished all of my pre-req's and start the RN program in the fall.

I have two children, Zach, 6 who was born with a cleft palate and who was recently diagnosed at 4yrs with Long QT Syndrome and has an implanted difibrillator. I have a daughter, Belle, who will be 4 in a week.

So, as you can see by my experience, both on the job and personally, nursing was the next logical step in life for me! I enjoy taking care of people and what better way to spend the rest of my working career as a nurse!

Hi, I'm Judy, 44y/o, pastor's wife. We have a combined family of 5, 1 daughter age 20, & 4 sons, 27, 26, 23 & 8. Yes I said 8(sigh!). Great to find this forum. I know I will need the support. I have completed pre-reqs(4.0 yea!) and have been accepted in AD Nursing Program to begin August 18, 2003. I have worked in the medical field(dialysis) for over 25 years as first a ward secretary, then dialysis technician and as equipment technician/chief technician. I was encouraged to go to nursing school by co-workers 20 years ago but resisted the idea. I had all the usual reasons, family responsibilities, financially- had to work etc. But now I've made it this far and I'm raring to go. But I'm also very scared and don't really know what to expect. I hope you will all sort of hold my hand through this. :kiss

Hello, everybody! I'm Sue, 41, and I have a son who's 18. He's the light of my life. I'm working on pre-reqs in order to apply to an accelerated BSN program that starts May 2004. I'll be taking A&P I this fall, along with studying for the CLEP exam in Human Growth & Dev. I'm interested in psych nursing (was a psych tech for four years, and loved it), and also oncology nursing. Good luck to us all; the time will go fast!

Hi Everyone :)

I am new to these boards and wanted to introduce myself.

I am 31 years old and after many years of procrastination ie working in the wrong field just because the money was great, i am finally pursuing my dream of nursing school. I am starting my pre reqs and will be taking soc, psych, and pre algebra this fall. I work full time and will continue to do so until my pre reqs are finished. I am so excited to finally be on the right path and love reading all the information this board has to offer.

Hi everyone! My name is Gen. I'm 21 years old and starting my ADN this fall at Lansing Community College in Michigan. I've finished all of my pre-reqs, co-reqs etc, so now i'm taking subjects of interest to keep me at full time status while I'm in the program. This fall i'm taking Fundamentals of Nursing and Child Psychology. Starting in the spring i'll be taking classes that will transfer for a BSN, along with my nursing classes. Eep!

Hi Everyone!

I am 37 and just started my pre-reqs in order to get into the nursing program. I am thinking of going for my LPN now and maybe later bridge over into the RN program. Looking forward to the possibility of being a nurse one day.
