Introduction


Hello Everyone,
I'd like to introduce myself. I am a newbie to the site and was very glad I came across this site. (It might just help me to keep my sanity..lol..) My name is Charrie and I live in Delaware. I am currently a CNA and have been for 9 yrs now. I have recently decided to apply at a local community college, Del. Tech. I was very excited at first, now i'm getting cold feet.(I hope they don't freeze! ) Have a looong way to go, I know. Just starting with pre-req's, Aug. 24, 2009. I am 50 yrs. old and will be pursuring my lpn. licence. Even though my husband hasn't come right out and said it , I think he thinks I am crazy.. lol. So..with all that said..Have a great day everyone.

Welcome, I would like to commend you, stay focused and don't give up! I am 54 and an LPN, trying to get my RN...believe it or not, I have been working on it for about 6 yrs, class by class and now I only have the nursing to do, and finding it hard to stay focused. But by God's Grace I WILL get my RN!!!! HANG IN THERE! Was well worth it for me, you may feel overwhelmed, you may cry.....alll that...but don't quit Go buy a name time with your lpn on it....claim that thing!
