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?
Hi, I'm J and I am 24 years old and just got accepted to the RN program here in NC. I am enjoying reading through the different posts. I especially liked the post about what things students should have. Do PDA's really come in handy? Ok, off topic there. The program starts in the fall and I am extremely excited about it!

Hello everyone! Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. My name is Michelle and live in Los Angeles (CA). I am 45 yo, married 27 yrs with 4 kids (adults now).....3 of them in college. I have always wanted to be a nurse and became a CNA in high school. While training to work as a medical assistant prior to nursing school, I became involved in pharmacy and became a technician. Most recently worked as a tech in a Nuclear Pharmacy and now am about to start a 13-mo LVN program. Since I have to pay for it myself I found a program that cost only $1900 and the state is gonna pay for my supplies (books, uniforms, shoes, etc.)
I do have a 10 wk pre-nursing course to take and I know my previous medical background will make my chances of getting into the program a cinch. I can't tell you how excited I am to finally do this, now that my kids are out of high school! :roll
Hi Everyone,
I am 38 years old, a mother of two. My daughter is 19 and my son is 16 (heaven help us and stay off the side walks :chuckle). My daughter is pregnant with our first grandchild and we are very excited.
I have been an LPN for 14 years. The first 12 spent working on a medical surgical floor and for the past two years I have been working in womens health. I have enjoyed it so much that I have finally chosen to return to school to get an ADN degree.
Currently I am in the middle of med-surge II and after maternal child in the fall I will graduate (yippe last year!).
Good Luck everyone!
Hi, I am Ruby in Nashville, graduating in May 2006--if I can get the 160 question HESI passed. Two attempts so far. I am the non-traditional student going for a new career--after hairdressing, Navy, travel agent and stay at home mom for over 9 years. On my 18th year of marriage with a 15 yo son and 12 yo dau--all terrrific. Love this website and looking for anything to help me pass the HESI! I love being around nurses and can't wait to be one! Caring is what it is all about.
