Parents at Orientation

Published

So, I got my notice last month to go to nursing orientation July 6, and my mom wanted to come with me. I don't think it's appropriate for her to be there, but I'm not sure. She would be paying for my supplies and such, but I could just ask for her checkbook ahead of time. Did anyone take or see other people's parents at orientation buying supplies? Or is it a "student only" event? Thanks in advance!

There were LOTS of parents at my orientation...but all of them were the actual students ;)

Heck yeah! The majority of the students in my class (and, I believe, in many classes around the country) are somewhere in their early 30's, with children. There were only a couple girls who were about 22 or 23, and very few students WITHOUT children. In the year 2000, the average age of new RN graduates was 30. I'm sure the average has gone up in the past nine years.

That is very true, the young and childless are few and far between at my school.
