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?

Wow, this post goes back a long time!

I'm Amy. I am 27, got married Oct. 2004, and we are waiting to have kids til i'm done with school. I just started an accelerated associate degree rn program. It's for people who already have a bachelors in something else, mine is psych. We go to school on tues and thurs nights and have clinicals on the weekend. I'm done in May and i cant wait. I am really nervous about school.

I found this website and thought it would be helpful and fun!

Hey, Amy! Welcome to the boards!! It sounds like you've got a unique schedule but I'm sure you can do it!! Are you working during the days? That's awesome! I have psych in common with you, although I don't remember all that much of it .. I minored in psych (strangely enough with a B.Ed., long story LOL). Take care!

WOW,

Sound like a great program. How long is it? Where is it? Sorry about the twenty questions, but I that is new to me. Also, congrats on your marriage

Good LUCK

Hi neller,

I go to Harcum College in Bryn Mawr, PA, just outside Philadelphia. It's a small junior college. It takes 1 year to get your RN (associate degree), May 2005 to May 2006. The first class just graduated this past May. We have school on Tues and Thurs from 5pm to 10pm, and clinicals on sat and sun from 7am to 3pm. You have to already have a bachelors, which counts for the electives and sciences. So we just have to take the nursing classes. It's tough and i am very nervous, but i think i can do it. It's so exciting to know that i have less than 1 year left until i'm a real nurse :yelclap:

hey i haven't been around for a very very long time. i was wondering if any of the older "waiters" (you know waiting around for their letters! :rotfl: ) anyway i just got some good news the other day when i updated my rn app. for the spring semester. she said i almost got in this fall, but that it "looks real good" for the spring!! i am so used to them giving me the "sorry, but you'll have to wait some more...!" so at the very least i was told that i would be an alternate, which almost always get added.

so i am tickled and thought i'd share it here, since i have always gotten so much support here.

LOL that's what I say! Let me at your veins! I'm only in the pre-reqs portion of my program so I guess that would be "out" for sure. Enjoy your Fundamentals!!
