Hi All I am Kat I am Starting an ADN program in the fall of 2006 and Can hardly wait!:balloons: Have my last pre-req final tonight in Chem 105 Excited to get that one done and over. I am Married, 45 ys old with 4 kids (20,14,13,11). Feel like I have been waiting to be a nurse all my life. I am leaving the accounting trade where I have worked for 20+ years. I am a bit apprehensive, but have loved getting back to school part time for the pre-reqs. Hope nursing school goes as well.

Hello Kasm296, I wish you the best of luck. You must be very lucky to have a great husband. The advice I have for you is: keep on smiling , keep in good company :icon_hug: and just take it one day at a time! You will make a great nurse :nurse: .

Hello everyone..

I'm Kat also. I'm 37 and I'm in my 2nd semester of nursing school and graduating, May of 2007!! WOO HOOO...it is ONLY 12 months away and I CANNOT believe it. It has been a long haul getting to where I am right now:) yay for me, I am sure you all feel the same way!!:)

Hoping to learn a lot from all of you nurses out there who are willing to pass the teaching on.

30 y/o with a 10 y/o daughter and one on the way (got my acceptance letter and a positive pregnancey test ON THE SAME DAY) I ain't giving up:angryfire !!! I will have 4 days to rest after delivery and then back to school. Thank GOD for LABOR DAY, literally in my case. Spent lots of time at a 4yr school on the "waiting/let me take more of your money list" and finally decided to switch to an ADN program to get on with it. I start on MONDAY! I wish EVERYONE GOOD LUCK and I can't wait to pick everyone's brain.
