Introductions:"New" and "Old" Students.

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?

I'm starting the BSN program at Mount Saint Mary's in LA

after completing prerequisites at a Junior College. I'm 49

and still going strong. I made a career change a few years

ago from graphic/advertising design. Couldn't stand sitting

behind a comupter all day. Nursing promises a solid future.

I imagine after 15 years as a nurse I might get tired of

"people" all day? :rolleyes:

Hi everyone! After 10 years in the restaurant industry serving people I've decided to serve in a way that really matters. I start EMT-B training in june and my pre-reqs in the fall. If all goes according to plan, with the grace of Jesus and Mary I will be in a BSN program by '06. This site has proven to be a real blessing as I plan my future .Thanks to all the established nurses for their wisdom and to all the aspiring nurses for sharing their hopes and fears.

With Light and Love

Hi, I'm Sandy. I'm working on my LPN degree. I start back for my summer semester on May 25. I have to just do clinicals until the end of July, then I start IV therapy. I was in the program last year but had to have emergency surgery in the summer term, I couldn't return and finish. So here I am starting over with students I don't know. Wish me luck. I'm a little nervous but determined. We will have our pinning and then our graduation in Dec. 04.
