Hi y'all,

My name is Michele and I am married with two beautiful daughters, 14 and 11. I have been a Medical Assistant for 14 years and now I am in my first semester of the ADN program. My goal is to go on and get may BSN so I can go into Public Health. I work part-time at our community clinic while I am in school so I get more exposure to clinicals than I did when I worked in M.D.'s office. (speciality) I am sooooo loving the program. It takes a lot of time and effort but it will be well worth it. I am looking forward to picking people's brains while chatting with you all. This site is great!

Talk to y'all soon!:typing

Hello everyone,

I am a new student starting the pre-reqs and hope to become and RN. Just decided after 8 yrs of cutting hair that it is time to try the other profession I've always been interested in. I am so nervous and excited to be starting this new journey. Some people have children... I have a husband, three cats and a dog. That is my big happy supportive family. I am glad to see there are so many of us going through the whole experience together.

Hi there, my name is Sarah, I have 3 kids, 6, 4, and 2. We breed shelties and raise chickens and pigs. Looking forward to spring and starting the garden. I am currently finishing my pre-reqs and am on the waiting list for the nursing program. I am a little annoyed, I just wanted to get going on this fall but looks like I will have to apply again. I really enjoy reading these threads and wish I had the time to reply to all of them! Talk to you soon

Hi All,

I am very new here. I am 34 and a mother of 3 (boy 10, girl 7, and girl 4). I am starting my first semester of 5 on June 5, 2006 in an ADN program. I am so excited. I have always wanted to be a nurse. I have worked for the past 10 years in a University school of veterinary medicine as a lab manager. Being around all those young students made me want to pursue my "real" career. I can't wait. I know that it is going to be hard but I'm truly up for the challenge.

Hi, I am Kim. I am 31, with 3 boys (6,5,3) and a husband. No offense to the guys out there but he is often more work than the kids-LOL!

I am half way through the BSN program. I plan to graduate in May 2008. I spent many years being a jack of all trades and master of none. I have always wanted to become a nurse and am glad I finally took the steps to become one. It is nice to see there are many others like me-trying to survive nursing school and raise a family.

Good Luck to all of you!

Hi everyone!!!!:wink2:

I am 35 and I have 3 kids (12,10,& 9), a husband and a dog. I've worked as a medical secretary for 10 years now. It's time to step things up! I have always wanted to be a nurse. So, now is the time for me. I will be taking the ACT in April for my first time. Yes, I am very nervous (many years out of school). I'm really worried about the math:scrying: ; but I have FAITH!!!

I wish everyone the BEST OF LUCK!!!!!

Hello, I'm Shelia, I am in first term and drowning.... I hope maybe you could share some insight on the HESI test. I have ordered the Saunders N-Clex review book and it's on its way. None of our teachers have mentioned anything about the Hesi, just that it is scheduled next month. My Fund. of Nursing/concepts reads her powerpoint and does not elaborate, My health assessment teacher just says read the materials, it is very frustrating, I am barely passing those two classes. I needed to know about the kinds of info on hesi. Thanks for your message and congrats on your progress so far I am soo jealous, :) Sometimes I get so discouraged, and wonder if I can do it, everyone says that if you make it through 1st term you can do it. Anyway, pleasure meeting you and I will see you around in here. Shelia
