Introductions:"New" and "Old" Students.

[Love-A-Nurse]

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'll go by shlru0404. I am currently employed as Clinical Assist on a TCU of a rural hospital in southern Idaho. I do carry my NREMT-P and am transitioning into RN second year in Jan 2007. I am almost 40 with 2 kids and 6 step kids for total of 8(wow that sounds like a lot). My career related interests are critical care, oncology, and rehab nursing areas while personal interests are softball and horses. I am from California originally, but find Idaho a peaceful change. I hope to find people with similar interests and experiences to share my nursing joys and sorrows with. My hubby does concrete and he don't much care for my career stuff. I think it is cause he just don't understand it all. He finds way too many abbreviations for his liking. Blessings to all...

HI,

I'm Kayla. I'm a new student. I'm a sophomore in college and i messed up my freshman year and now i'm paying. I dropped biology the first time. The second time i passed the lecture but got a D in the lab but i need a C. So now i have to retake it. I feel like a failure. And i was going to take chem but my advisor suggested me not to. So now i'm stuck with take Chem (+ lab), Bio lab, A and P (+ lab). I hope i make it in the nursing program so i can graduate in 2009 with a BSN!

Hi, I'm Amy, 22, from Texas. I have one more year until I complete my BSN degree. I can't believe it has gone by so fast. For all of those starting, good luck and have a blast...that is, when you have a spare moment amidst all the study time.

Hey all,

I am a newbie. Just received my acceptance letter yesterday! This was my early birthday present as I turn 24 next week :) I'll be completing a hospital ADN program that begins in January. Wish me luck, and best of luck to all of you!

I'm Amy, 38-year-old married mom of three--15, 8, 5. I start my 2nd semester of ADN program in a few weeks and graduate in December, 2007. Three more semesters. There's light at the end of the tunnel!

Started from square one four years ago--5 1/2 years to a 2 1/2 year degree. Woo hoo! :chuckle I'm blessed with VERY supportive hubby & friends, especially my nursing school friends.

Looking forward to good exchanges & great advice from this board.

Hello I am wondering if any of you can recommend to me a good 9 month LPN program located in the metro New York area. I am possibly relocating to NY this Nov and I am not sure how to go about locating an accrediated LPN program. Any help you can render would be greatly appreciated!
