Nursing Students General Students

Published

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?

hi. i have posted a few times, but never offically introduced myself to the board. i'm 34 and will begin my adn program on january 12,2004, i can't wait! i am ready for the mental challenges, the long hours, and all the dirty work that comes with being a nurses. i love any and everything about the medical field but would love to focus my attentions toward the organ transplant area of nursing. i had no fears about starting the program until i read a post last night about having to wear a swimsuit or underwear in lab to practice giving a patient a bath. i am hoping we get to pactice on our school's rubber dummies. other than that.....bring it on, i am ready.

welcome! congratulations on starting nursing school.

Ok,my turn! Im new and just started posting in the last few days. Im loving this board!!!! Anyway, my name is Leslie, Im 23 and hope to be starting an LPN program this June. I have been in and out of college on and off since I was 18 and now I finally know what I want out of life. I plan to become an LPN and then an RN. I was going to go straight to an ADN program but Ive decided this is a better option for me, because for one I can get into the LPN program sooner, two I can work while in school because this is an evening and weekend program, and three I can work as an LPN while earning my RN degree. I cant wait!!!!

Hi everyone,

I am a 25 y/o with a BA in biology. Recently decided to make a career change and study nursing. Still waiting to find out if I made it into the program. Won't find out until Feb. for fall 2004. Work as a full time EMT-I. This is an awesome website!

I'm a new student, starting in January!

Hello, Donna Palmer, mother of 3 (9 yo dd, 7 yo ds, 2 yo dd), married for 17 years, LTC CNA for 14 years, quit job on Labor Day to begin the LPN program at local BOCES. Will be doing pre-reqs for ASN over next two years, and will enter Nursing Program at CC in fall of 2005. Very excited to be joining your ranks...
