I am 26 years old. I am married and have a 13 month old son:monkeydance: . I went to college from 98-02 but did not quite finish a degree in communications. Finally decided what I wanted to be when I grow up. Now I am back in school to get my BSN:nurse: . I am finishing pre-req's this year and should be able to start clinicals Fall 07. I will graduate in November 09. Seems like 100 years away. Lots of work. Wish me luck!

Hi ,

I am a 41 year old married mom of two kids, a DS 16 years old and a DD 14 yrs old. I am currently in my first semester of a four semester RN program. I am so happy to finally begin on my nursing career.

I am also a Cherry Ames fan, as you can tell by my screen name.

Welcome to all of you too!

Good luck in the upcoming year!

Hi! My name is April and I am in my second year of a BSc.N. program in Edmonton, Alberta. If all goes well I'll graduate in either May 2000 or Dec. 2008, depending on how motivated I'm feeling! I am getting married in February, so that adds a ton to my already tight schedule. I admire all of you moms out there who are furthering your educations! You are amazing! Some days I think I'm going to go nuts and I only have myself to take care of!

good luck Leandrea! If it's what you want to do then stay with it! It's NOT easy but it can be done (speaking from experience-I finished the last semester of ADN school and worked FT at nights and have a family.....so now I'm working PT and doing the RN-BSN option full time.

Hi Cindy, Leandra, and K9'sMom! I'm Jennifer, a 43 yr old mom of 6 in a diploma RN program. I'm getting ready to begin my critical care rotation and I'm nervous and excited! I graduate in June. My children are 4, 7, 13, 16, 20, and 21, so it's not as bad as it sounds . School's been tough but I love every minute. Clinicals are challenging, can be frustrating and overwhelming some days, but are always rewarding and I learn something new each and every time I go onto the floor. Glad to meet all of you and best of luck!

Hello everyone,

I am waiting to be accepted in the Spring '07 Nursing Program. I am 35 years old and a married mother of 3. A 5 year old, 3 year old, and 2 month old. I am praying that I get in. I've recieved the letter from the school informing me that I have to come in to take the NET test. I am nervous and excited but I don't know if my marriage can stand this weather. If anyone has any advice please send it my way.

Thanks.:uhoh21:

I'm Tiffany, 25, and I begin a LPN program in Jan. '07 & plan to bridge over to a ADN or BSN program. I eventually want my MSN. Ive been married for 6 years and we have a 6 & 3 y/o little girls. I work at a physical rehab on the weekends & hope to continue my employment there while I am in school. I have no idea what area of nursing I want to do but I do know that I would enjoy a flexable schedule (lol..ya right!).

Good luck to everyone!

I absolutely love where I am now and am planning to work through school and continue as a GN and RN after that. Good luck to all... looking forward to a couple of crazy years! :)

Hello, I'm April, 26 years old. Finishin up PN program. I take the boards in December if all goes well. I havent decided on what to do next, MS Healthcare Administration or RN first. I'm going to see if I can do RN part-time (one class a semester) and full time MS. By my calculations I will have both in 6 years. lol...I know sounds crazy but a try is all I can do. I'll try it for one semester to see how things go. I have no children, not married (not yet), and that's pretty much it. And that's me in a nutshell.
