Re: Gentlemen (and viewing Ladies)

It really makes me happy to see that there are going to be such wonderful new additions to our Nursing 'tribe' in the next couple of years. On behalf of all the old, (nearly) worn out, used up, hanging-in-there nurses --- you are MOST WELCOME additions. Let me know if anyone gives you any problems as a new grad - I'll mobilize my fellow silverbacks and we'll straighten them out for you.

Wonderful advice from all the responses. I was very moved by NurseMike's take on things - from carpenter to nurse. Well, fixin is fixin, isn't it? But it must be infinitely more frustrating to deal with people than cabinets because some of us are just permanently out of plumb.

One question for the OP - what in the world are 'pastry arts'? I love learning new things, and I had never even given this much thought. I need to know about this - does this include creme puffs in sculptural shapes? Artistically rendered pies? Those fancy wedding cakes?

You are all fabulous! I am so glad to be a member of this community.

your wife sounds like a pain

Re: Gentlemen (and viewing Ladies)

I would try to talk it out with her because nursing school will put alot of stress on your marriage if she is not in your corner. I personally do not know how I would have made it through without the support of my wife. I too was 35 when I was accepted to nursing school and have been married for 18 years. I gave up a job making way more than a starting nurse can make but she knew I was not happy and supported my decision 100%.
