Thanks Love-A-Nurse

I'm hoping to acquire a new bike in or around August. Have my eye on a Harley Road King Classic -either the 2003 Anniversiary model, or a 2004 (the '03 will have some of the custom things I want, already on board, and has very low mileage -the guy who bought it didn't care for it, so never rode it). Either decision will be a good one (grin).

Right now, though, I'm just working through the jitters of having new responsibilities. I had a partial orientation while working as a GN, so they expect this one to be roughly a month long. I need to work on my organizational skills and speed, tho. (sigh. Always has been a problem of mine. I'm a "slow and steady" kinda guy :) Maybe thats why I like the big cruisers, and not the little crotch-rockets, when it comes to bikes?)

I gotta admit, though, it feels SO GOOD to finally be done with the NCLEX.

Hehe, I've still got a large print-out of my license (I scanned and shot it to the laser printer) pinned on my bulletin board in my computer room :):):):)

Hi everyone. I am Beth- and I am completely new to all this stuff! I actually came upon this site by accident, but I think I will like it. I am currently in my first quarter of nursing school (ADN). I have waited a LONG time for this, so am a little bit overwhelmed right now, but am hanging in there! So hopefully I will chat with you all soon! And will look forward to talking. Thanks. =)

Hi everyone,

I have reading this site on and off for years. I finally got my butt back to school this past January and today I finish my prereqs for admittance to an RN program. I have really enjoyed being back in school and hope the rest of my time is as interesting as the past 6 months have been. Tonight I take my A&P final (last night was my lab final). Yipppeeee.

I am 32 and mom to two girls ages 8 and almost 2. I feel like this is my time and hope that by the time my younger one is in school I will be working a job that gives me some fufillment while still being able to be an invilved parent.

Thanks for reading and I hope to get to know you all soon.

You guys have a good evening. :)

Hello I am Art. I am 25 and married. I am going to a community college and I just started my prerequisites this spring and I will hopefully get into the actual program this spring so I can start taking my actual nursing classes. I have been browsing this board the last week or so and all it is doing is making me more anxious to get into nursing.

Welcome aboard! Keep the fires stoked. Just wait until you get to actually begin doing procedures. Your enthusiasm will likely get jacked up a notch or two (grin). I've only been an RN for a couple of weeks now, and I'm loving it. It was definately worth all the sacrifice, trials and tribulations.

Hello Everyone. My name is India Adkins and I will be starting the Nursing Program here at Georgia Southern University in August. I'm both excited and nervous. I have a little experience under my belt, being that I have did volunteer work in several health care facilities. If anyone has any advice, comments, or first year experiences, feel free to let me know. Thanks
