Introductions:"New" and "Old" 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! I'm Laura, I'm 22, and just started working on my BSN in September 07. I couldn't be more excited, I've been waiting to start nursing school since I was 16, and now I'm doing it! My friends get annoyed since I make them let me practice everything they show us on them. :D

Hi, I'm 24-yrs old and will graduate with a BSN this Fall :p I WILL one day be in administration level and make great changes for the nursing profession in California.

I want to be a nurse advocate and a voice for nurses in the political arena.

With experience in time, the sky's the limit. To be a consumer of research is expected of all nurses, but to actually want to be a part of that change is where I hope to be.

In present time, I am aiming to work in the ICU, Med-Surg, or OR.

Nursing education and nursing profession is controversial in context of where it is currently heading and why it is currently heading that way. I won't say anything further, but GOOD LUCK to everyone and I hope to learn a lot from you all and share in my experiences with you too. :1luvu::thankya:

Hi Everyone! I just found this discussion board today and I'm already addicted! I'm 26 years old and have recently decided to make a career change to nursing. I have a BS and MS degree in Accounting and have worked in the field for 3 years. I'm still making final decisions between an ASN or BSN acclerated program. Either way I will start my pre-reqs in Jan or May of 08. Very excited for this journey! Nice to meet all of you.
