Hi there!

Published

I am just starting classes this summer to catch up to the point where I can start taking my prereq's LOL!

I am a recently widowed 39yr old mother of 2 girls and already work in a hospital but can't raise my girls on what I make as a CS Tech so off to school I go!

The thing that scares me though is how hard it is to get into a nursing program here in Oregon! I know right off the bat I am going to have to pull a 4.0 on everything and even then it's still competing with 100's of applicant's for only 20-50 spots. Not to mention the money drain. I'm doing this all on my own with no support from anyone financial or emotional so I thought I would pop in here and say hi.

Hello and Welcome

Don't start off thinking neg. you can do what ever you put your mind to, I am a 36 with two kids (7), (15) and a husband (be on the road) and work full time, So I know it can be done, you just have to pace yourself and you will make it.

Keep god first and you will be fine.

Good Luck
