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?

Hey guys! I'm 19 and going into my junior year this fall I finished all my prereqs and will be taking nursing care of adults and older adults along with nutrition and pharmacology. Can't wait!

Hi, my name is Courtney and I just came to my senses this past spring and realized that majoring in Biology isn't for me but Nursing is... after I was accepted into Villanova's nursing program senior year of high school, a teacher (who I still hold very highly) talked me out of nursing and I switched into the Biology program... but I soon found out that I didn't want to be a doctor and I didn't want to do research for the rest of my life... I want to work with people!

so here I am... just starting out in nursing school...:w00t:

btw, my great aunt was a nurse, my mom's a nurse, my cousin's a nurse, and my aunt just finished getting her BSN... so what can I say? it runs in my family...:D

Congratulations!

Hi! I'm Kayla Caldwell, 20 (will be 21 on August 24(8 days!!!)), married, no kids...... I am so happy :) school is starting back. I start nursing school(ADN) Wednesday, August 17. I am so SICK of summer.....but, I'm terrified of Nursing School. Mine is only a 4 semester program.....I bought some of my books today. They didn't even have the Nursing Fundamentals book out yet!!!! How crazy is that!!!! They have me stressing!!! Well, Let me know how ya'lls first days went....I'll tell you about mine....that is, if I get a break.

:balloons:

Oh Yeah, If any one has any suggestions on time management, i would love to hear them. I think that is going to be my biggest problem. I am not good at managing my time...especially not between school, my husband, and my job!!!!!!!! Thank goodness I don't have kids, huh??

Hi. My name is Laura and I am 29 and in my second year of nursing school (senior year all together), and I graduate with my BSN this May of 2006 and I cannot wait! I just got married on July 23rd and vacationed in Aruba on our honeymoon, which was absolutely perfect! I am so bummed to have to return, but am excited to start school and finally have a career. I am currently a nurse partner with a local hospital here and work in high risk L&D, which is the only one in the state. We see everything, so it is very fast paced and exciting!

Neither my DH nor I have children and DH is a pilot in the AF stationed here in OK. I guess that is all the good news about us. So nice to meet everyone!

Hi,

My name is Wendy. I am 35, married, mother of 1 boy (8). I live in Miami. I work fulltime at a university that has an awesome nursing school. However, I do not attend that program. :o

Instead, I am paying my own way through a part-time ASN program at MDC (the local college). I will be graduating in May 2007. I am currently in my first med-surg semester.

I am very happy I found this place.

W. :)
