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?

Hi folks-hope all are doing well. Does anyone have any info/advise on nursing schools in NC? Raleigh, Durham or Charlotte area? My husband and I are seriously considering moving there and I was looking to finish school there. Im taking a medical coding class so that when we do move I can get a job in a hospital doing that while going to school, any word on that field down there or at all? Also I heard of a program there where they are teaching nurses to close in surgery? sound familiar to anyone? Any advise on any of this would be helpful along with what you think of NC, living there, blah blah..Thanks =)

Hi i am mary, i'm a "new" but "old" student bc i'm 51 years old. I have three grown children. One is married, my daughter is in medical school and my youngest is studying to be a pharmacist. I've been a medical assistant to a pediatrician for 15 years and have decided to obtain my RN. I have to admit i'm a little nervous about starting out at my age. Start my RN classes and clinicals this coming Tuesday.

Good luck to everyone!

Hi Mary,

I'm Nancy, and have just moved to Baltimore to attend the BS program at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. I'm 49. It took me 2 years to complete prerequisites, one science at a time mixed with other GEd classes. It's definitely harder at our age but I believe it's far more rewarding than it would have ever been in our 20s. I don't start the program till next Sept (05) unless by a miracle a spot opens for this Sept. I moved now to begin making connections and also to get on with making a life, knowing I can be in one place now for a long time. I've never been married, and have no children. Sometimes I wish I'd had children but it's just the way things turned out.

Congradulations to you on starting RN classes.

Nancy
