Introductions:"New" and "Old" Students.

Published

How about a thread that will allow us to introduce ourselves to those who are new and the new students can do the same.

I am Stephany, 42, mother of 3 children, a son 22, a daughter 15, and a son 13. I am an LPN of nearly 11 years, and I am in my first semester of a five-semester rn program.

Care to share?

I'm Stacie

I'm a nursing student in the UK studying in Canterbury, 29 years old. I've just started the second year which is the 4th sememster (nearly the end of the 4th one), with 5 more to go.

I'm planning to work on a ward specialising in colorectal surgery, I also want to work in the US as think it would be good experience.

Hello.. I am John, and I just joined this forum. I just got my acceptance letter last week. I will be starting my ADN program on Jan 10th. I am super excited that I am finally going to be able to take nursing classes. I have all my other stuff done, and it is almost surreal now. I am enjoying the feeling of not having to always worry about when I will get into the program. I am sure I will have other stuff to worry about soon enough, but it is nice for the moment.

Anyway, I am 27, live in WI, and have two, year old dogs(Jasper and Juniper), and four cats. (I have worked as a vet assistant for a few years, so they all get free medical.)

You can see Jasper on my Avatar.

Just saying hi.. this seems like a good resource for info, and communication.

Hey Everyone.

I am new to this site. My name is Stephanie and I'm 20 y.o, married for 4 months now and am just finishing up my first semester nursing courses. I am enrolled in Farmingdale State Universities 2 year nursing program. It is exciting but I am definitely stressed and doubt my abilities sometimes. My nursing professor tells me that she thinks I am going to be a great nurse, but I dont know... It is the only think I can see myself doing. It is the one thing that I have wanted to be. So I am going to work my tail to do the best I can and to make a difference.

I just wanted to wish everyone good luck and feel free to write me.

Wow, I'm 49 yrs old married mother of one. I'm in my first semester of Nursing school. I visit here often to see if how I am feeling is normal! The stress is unbelievable at my school. We have finals this week and all the younger ones are really freaking out. I calculated my grades and I can get a 47 on the final exam and still pass fundamentals! That took alot of stess off me, but I am still going to do my best! My friends are taking me out to night to dinner so I can relax before the drug dosage test. Wish me luck! Barbiebabe:rolleyes:

GOOD LUCK BARBIE,

You will do fine.... I am amazed at the younger generation.... I had been out of school 35 years before I decided to be certified as nurses assistant, and the younger classmates were really something.... I never studied so hard myself, but passed my class with 94%.... In my case, You CAN teach an older dog new tricks....LOL Have fun tonight.... :balloons:

My name is Molly. I'm 26, mother of two kitties, Gracie and Bubba! I have a bachelor's in Human Development, Gerontology from KU, a nursing home administrator's license and I'm hoping to start ADN school in Aug. 2005. (as you can see by my name, I'm wait-listed!) I'll find out in Feb. if I got in. I discovered when I got into the field, that I wanted to care for people, and administration was not at all what I had imagined. So much pressure to cut already short staff in order to keep to the bottom line. Not at all the caring profession I had envisioned. My mom is a nurse, and had encouraged me to look into nursing. I did, and I was hooked! Wish me luck; it's great to see everyone here!
