Hey guys, I'm Rachel, I'm 23 and I just started my accelerated BSN degree in May. I have my BA in Psychology, graduated from Miami of Ohio in 2002 (of course I decided to be a nurse during my senior year!). It's an 18-month, VERY intensive program (ie we completed our sophomore year this summer in 12 weeks), so I should have my BSN December 2004. We just finished up our second summer session and first set of clinicals...so far so good! I've been a tech in Labor and Delivery for the past year, and just accepted a SNE position on the same floor so I am VERY excited to get started on that this fall! I've been reading this forum for the past year or so but this is the first time I've posted...it's nice to meet all of you!

Hi there to all!

My name is Sandra. I am the mother of a 7-year-old daughter, divorced after 13-1/2 years of marriage, unemployed. I am in a 2nd-career phase: 1st year BSN program, still taking prereqs. I love it!

I will be taking survey of chemistry and lab. First time ever taking chemistry. I am really nervous, but I will do just fine, I'm sure!

Isn't this bb just great. Especially for someone like me--lots of questions, very little knowledge (nursing).

Good luck to all!

Hey everyone!

On September 3 of this year I'll be starting my first semester of a four semester RN program. I'm a bit nervous (more like terrified), especially after going to my orientation last week and discovering that besides me, there is only one other girl who is of "school age" in my class. I'm 18, turning 19 in November, and most of my class is 30 and over with children. I'm really hoping this won't give me a disadvantage in any way. But I really hope I can make it!
