Nursing Students General Students

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?

pepper, welcome to the board. what determination! congratulations and much continued success.

hi! i am pepper. i am 28 and will finish up an adn program in may 2004. i have always wanted to be a nurse, just took awhile to quit work and go full time. then, we got pregnant! so, i took another break and now i am back. i have a 21 month old daughter and great hubby that support me. i plan on working postpartum after i graduate and pass the nclex.

i chose a name with rn in it already because i like to think positive! i think envisioning yourself where you want to be can help get you there!

"now it is my time to do what i have always dreamed of, which is becoming a rn! i absolutely love going to school!"

hi,

i am currently taking core classes for an lpn program at our local technical college. my school just started an rn adn program. i am trying to get into this program. i have turned in a request to change my major already. i am so excited about this new program. i had to take extra alegebra testing, i am waiting to hear the results, this will determine if i have to take extra math classes or not. to be considered for the program i will have to take a college alegebra class and a biology class and take a pre-entrance test. i am going to do my very best to get into this program. i am 40 years old, married, and we have five children. our kids are all grown and left home except the youngest, which is a 14 year old girl named jennifer. i have wanted to be a nurse my whole life, but always had to take care of the kids. now it is my time to do what i have always dreamed of, which is becoming a rn! i absolutely love going to school!

Hi Everyone,

I'm Jane, 32 and from Hertfordshire, UK.

I am just applying to start an access to nursing course (in sept) and will then continue to uni for 3 years for a nursing course.

I am looking to go into oncology and was looking for a friendly community with advice on how to proceed etc.

I'm married and have one daughter of 5 (now in full time school). It's v.scary facing 4 years of plans and then a totally new career!

I have never been in the position to go to college/uni till now though.

Anyway... think I've rattled on enough for now! hehe

Hello everyone.

I am Shel. I'm a 23 year old female who lives in Buffalo, NY with my husband of 3 years. I just decided that I wanted to be a Nurse so I'm just finishing up my Anatomy I and a few other introductory Nursing classes at my local community college. My goal is to become a Nurse Practitioner. I'm having a blast in Nursing and enjoying school for the first time ever. :)

My interests are the environment, spirituality, rock music, dogs, and nursing and medicine of course!

Shel
