Hi, Stephany...I'm a nursing student in the Albany, NY area. I just registered with the forum yesterday and am hoping to make some buddies. I am also a returning student...37 and a mother of 4. They still call us "non-traditional" students, but at this point I consider it the norm out there. I'm working as a Personal Care Aide for a woman w/ CP and also as a Paramedical Examiner, doing medical histories and collecting blood/urine specimens from people who are applying for life insurance. Best of luck...don't give up!!
Hi Stephany,
I'm also new and also a non-traditional student and a mom to three. I've applied to a two year RN program for fall (still waiting to hear if I'm in!). I just returned to school this spring to finish up A&P -- it had been seven years since I'd been in college. It was amazing how quickly I got "back in the swing." I'm also enjoying school so much more than I did before, especially now that I know what I want to do.
It is nice to see that there are many of us here that are in similar situations. It looks like this will be a great place to get lots of support through school! :)

Kudos to you. I am happy to see there well be a well-rounded mix entering the nursing profession within the next five years. I am sure you will be able to share many personal and life experiences that will help you while in school. I just wanted to add my two cents.
Thanks
