This is my first time here. so let me introduce myself. My name is Janet, I'm married with two kiddos (12 & 6). In August I will be taking A&PII, micro and college algebra, (which are the last of my prereqs). I am going to submit my application for the nursing program soon, and this essay that I have to write is bothering me. Tell me, guys... ever known of anyone to not get into the program because of a bad essay? I'm probably just working myself up, I hate writing papers!

Hi! Welcome!

I hate writing papers too. The essay is only part of the process, do you best and that's all you can do.

Read the "essay" through to the end - if it does not help at leas it will make you feel better:)

gwenith, I read the essay, what a hoot! Very creative writing! That definitely lightened my mood, thanks. Thanks, everyone else for your input. I've been a stay at home mom for 8 years. So it's difficult to come up with significant experiences and accomplishments and such to write about. I feel like I'm just begining. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't take anything for my life with my husband and children, I'm referring to my accomplishments outside of home and family. Those are just begining.

Welcome! Being a stay at home mom is SIGNIFICANT AND AN ACCOMPLISHMENT. Bravo to you for being able to do that.

I was a stay at home mom when my older kids were young, then went back to school when my youngest started first grade. It was the hardest thing I've ever done and very tough on my family.

Been a nurse for 5 years and had a baby two years ago (as of yesterday!). I work part-time but really want to stay home full time, as you can see above my avatar. :D

Another nurse friend and I keep saying if we win the lottery, we are quitting our jobs and staying home with our kids. But first we have to start playing the lottery - funny how that works. ;)

This is a great place to unwind and laugh and ask questions and share "vents".

Good luck with your essay . . . maybe focus on what you brought into your kids lives by being able to be home with them. What have your children taught you?

Best wishes . . . .

Welcome aboard!!!! I did not have to write a essay to get into school so I don't think I would be much help there. Where in FL are you, I went to school in FL too.
