Hi everyone! I just thought I'd start the new State forums off with an introduction thread. Please feel free to reply to this thread if you wish. Otherwise, feel free to start a new topic if you wish to discuss other topics that are local or state related. Enjoy!

Specializes in Sub Acute and Wound Care.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Carrie. As my user id states I'm desperately trying to get into an RN program. I have a BA in Management and worked as an accoutant for 10 years before deciding on a career change. I left my job 2 years ago and completed all my pre -reqs now I just need to get in! I'm thinking about doing an LPN program and then a bridge later...I'm getting a little long in the tooth to just keep banging on the doors of community colleges.... I'm looking forward to learning and sharing...... I currently work in an Assisted Living facility planning and implementing daily activities etc for residents with Dementia and Alzheimers.

Hello! My name is Sarah, and I am starting pre-nursing at Morton College in a couple of weeks. I'm nervous about going back to school (I haven't been in eight years!) but I'm very excited to begin as well.

Don't be scared - I started back after 10 years. Once you start, you won't want to stop...it's addicting!!! Best of luck to you!

I'm going into my second semester at CLC...has been a good program so far (and they changed the PE's, so now you can make "some" mistakes). Best of luck getting into the program...keep me posted!

I am also a failed pre-med who is now going into nursing. I graduated from UW-Parkside in 2004 with a degree in Biology and Psychology. Since then I have taken a year off, attended a Specialized Master's program (which I missed the GPA cutoff by 1 question) and re-evaluated my options career wise.

I will be joining Squire in DePaul's Master's Entry into Nursing program beginning in January 2009.
