2. Need Information About Charlotte

   I live in the Ft. Lauderdale, FL area (was born and lived in S. FL almost my whole life) and I'm really looking into to moving to Charlotte, NC. My husband and I are renting and real estate is SO expensive here that I don't know if we'll ever own an...

   Deusadomar - Awesome post! Thanks for sharing your story. I'm 35 and won't be able to go to school this year but I'm hoping to be a CNA and then an RN in the future. Now I know it's not too late for me!

4. How old is too old?

   twinkle replied to missninaRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm 35 and because of circumstances right now I probably won't start my pre-reqs until a year or two from now. As long as you have the dream in you you're not too old!

9. About the RN Pre-enterance exam

   twinkle replied to nursetobein2009's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My school also uses the NLN (a new requirement). I won't be taking it though for a long time since I still need to do most of my pre reqs. It makes me nervous though that Physics is on it. I've never taken Physics before and it isn't a requirement...

12. Nursing and height

    twinkle replied to twinkle's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the replies! I know that nursing is very physically demanding so I'm glad to hear that my height wouldn't be a hindrance. I guess I should hit the gym so I won't have to ask for too much help. :)

13. Nursing and height

    twinkle posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking about going into nursing but I'm only 4'11". Could I still be a good nurse even though it would be too difficult for me to move larger patients (i.e. anyone over 5'5" - LOL)?
