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?

Hey everyone,

I am a 22 year old Canadian LPN student....I am planning on moving to the States when I'm done school in October 2004....any suggestions as to where I should go???:)

Hey everybody.

I am 22 years old with a 2 year old daughter. Nursing is my second career option. Actually, I am going to attend CRNA schooling once I get my experience. I am starting a ASN program in the fall and I'm confused as to which program would be best for me. One Program is 10 months (accelerated for those with Bachelor Degrees already) and the other is 2 yrs. I was contemplating if I am going to learn everything that I need to know as a beginning nurse in a 10 month period. Any advice would be helpful.:confused:

Hi. I'm Amy, a 30 y/o mom of three (ages 6, 7, 8) and wife. I just finished my first semester of my ADN program and I am loving it!!! I looked forward to clinicals even though it meant getting up at 4:30. One of the best parts is that I am always able to be home when my kids come home from school.

A friend recommended this site as a great resource and I am so glad he did. This is a great place! Thanks to all who participate. :kiss

Welcome, Amy & congratulatioins on your first post here. You'll find this a very resourceful web site. Best wishes to you.

I am Pearl a 24 year-old, single mother to a 6 year-old boy. I am entering the 4th and last semester of my ADN program.

Hi there,

I'm taking prereqs for an accelerated 2nd degree BSN. My first degree was in communications, so I'm now taking all those math and science classes I avoided the first time around :)

I'm leaving my job as a conference planner at the end of January to finish my prereqs because I just can't handle working and going to school at the same time. Seems like it's taking forever, one class at a time! I have no idea how my husband and I are going to survive money-wise for the next 2 years, but I suppose we'll figure it out! I plan to start the accelerated BSN program in January '04. It's going to be an exciting (and scary!!!) journey!

I look forward to sharing our experiences!

Hi, I'm Megan. I'm 23 and a single mom to a 4 year old girl. I've just started taking my pre reqs for nursing. I don't know if I'll be doing an ADN or BSN program yet. The schools are so competitve here that I'm applying to every program within 45 minutes of my house (which is about 5), whoever accepts me will determine my program.

I'm really excited and about twice as nervous, but I believe in myself and thankfully have the support of my family and a wonderful BF.

I look forward to my journey with all you other soon to be nurses out there. :)

sarah, megan, marieclaire, jemommy, amy, pearl, leroi_de_larue, and megan, welcome!

I am a new member. Just registered tonight. WOW!!! Anyway, I am about to enter the second quarter of a six quarter ADN program. Absolutely love it! It does consume my life though. I am 26-years old. I am married to a wonderful man who gave me two beautiful boys, ages 6 and 3.

I wish all of you the best of luck. May we all graduate and be successful in our ventures. :) :nurse:

Hope to check in once in awhile, but like others have written, I too have to read, read, and guess what? Read some more. I start clinical next quarter and I need to know my stuff!!!

second semester of 5 semester adn program.. I'm getting used to being in school again. I have a BS in Child development and Family relations. Hopefully it will help with my nursing since it did nothing by itself.
