Introductions:"New" and "Old" Students.

Nursing Students General 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?

That is so wierd, where are you going to school, or are you all finished? Your son is adorable.

LPN-Future RN... You are right about making time for family and self.

One thing that works to clear my head is exercise. I have to get my exercise. It's the only thing that clears my head. And, lately I've been forcing myself to do it....

I do have some good news..... Originally, I was scheduled to start Nursing I in Fall '03. Well, I got a letter from the Nursing Dept. at the college stating a vacancy for Spring '03. I start Nursing I in January!!!

Hello to All,

I'm also starting a new career! I'm 40 something with 3 kids (16, 12, & 10), 1 husband of 20 years, 1 dog and 2 cats.

Last fall I started on my pre-req's in order to apply to the nursing program in May 2003. It's been a long road. Since my math wasn't all that good, I've had to work my way up the ol' math ladder. In January 2003 I will take Applied Algebra and Biology and then I will be qualified to apply. Just hope I can get in the class starting Fall 2003.

Good Luck to all and I hope to see alot more of this board. It's great! It really keeps me motivated

Hello,

My name is Shunda and I am originally from Texas but I live in Alabama now. I am married with 3 boys and I am in school right now working on my pre-reqs. I am trying to decide if I am going to go into the LPN program in January or just keep working on my pre-reqs. I currently am a Mental Health Technician and I work with children adn pre-adolescents. I have worked with adults also. I love my job and when I finish nursing school I want my speciality to be psychiatric nursing. I really do love this board and I have told all of my nursing friends about this BB. It is very informative and I love all of the discussions. To everyone old and new it is nice meeting you and May God Continue to Bless Each and Everyone of us in our Endeavors.

HI EVERYONE AND ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shunda:kiss :kiss
