Hi everyone. I've been a lurker for some time now, but never thought I'd have anything to talk about, until now. I just received an acceptance letter from a diploma program I am very interested in. This really is a huge relief for me (mostly because the wait is over), but now that I'm "in", I'm feeling all sorts of things. I'm feeling strangely apprehensive and nervous; maybe even a little scared. Maybe it's all part of the excitement, I don't know. I'm 47 years old, and nursing will be a new career for me. I'm a good student, generally, so I don't think I'm afraid of school or studying. I've wanted this for so long, and now that it looks like I'll be able to work on it, I'm a mass of worry! Common? Anything you can relate to? How did you handle it?
I'm happy to finally be able to introduce myself and say hello. Thanks for any and all comments. Good luck to you all in your endeavors! Be well.
