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?

Hi! I just finished up my first semester of a four semester program. (Hopefully, depending on my Patho grade!) I'm 19, mother of none, engaged. I'm from a small town, and I'm the youngest in my class. (Most of them are 20, 21, 22--some of them are second degreers, and we have a few older ones.) I am so excited to start Pysch and Pharm next semester. More clinicals! Those were the best days, although I was more tired than I've ever been in my entire life.

good luck with your second semester! I am sure you did fine in your patho class! I felt the same way, i was too scared to ask my teacher for my patho grade because i was afraid it was a D (D is failing). when i finally looked at my grade i had a B!

anyway have a good xmas vacation and get ready for psych!

hello all! my name is jayda and i am a student nurse in a two year rn program and a young mother of 2 little boys under the age of 2. i started in january 07 and will graduate in december 08 (half way there baby!!!). hopefully after my finals next week, i'll be able to call myself a third semester student:yelclap:!!!

i'll have to admit, during first semester i barely cracked a book. but this semester, i've put more into and got a lot more back out of it, and my grades show that!

Hey everyone...my name is Emmie. I am very new to this site...and I feel as though I don't know what to say yet I do know what I want to know.

This is what I have to say for now though....hello to everyone!!!! I just recently completed the LPN program and passed the NCLEX PN exam. I have no children and I have already enrolled with excellsior via CN to complete my RN-ADN degree. I am having a hard time picking up my book to study and when I do study it is taking me a long time to finish....any pointers? any website to help me study for my exams before I take the phase II classes exams will be very helpfull.

Hi. My name is Dorothy. I'm 19. Live with my partner of almost 3 years. And am as happy as can be.

I'll be starting my LPN Program in the beginning of January.

Lasts 12 months, and i couldn't stand to wait for another RN program to open up without a waitlist for another year!

I figure i might as well get into it like this and go for my RN later.

Hopefully this site will help me get through the trials of Nursing school. I'm so excited to start, i can't wait!

Thank you everyone in advance for all of your help.

Dorothy, New Jersey is no different for the wait. you need to take a entrance exam at my college and then if you pass your lucky if you get in. I went to orientation and they scared the *&^%^ out of you.. about you don't pass this you get kicked out if you don't pass that you get kicked out the whole time i was there all's i heard was you get kicked out.. how discouraging... : ( however i will prove them wrong!!! (i hope).. : )

hi everyone!

my name is judy, and after going to uiuc for 2 years, i decided that i wanted to go into nursing. however, i realized it's another admission process all over again for getting a bsn, so i'm going for my asn, and then later on complete my bsn (when the hospital pays for it!) so i start my asn program in the fall, but i'm taking my science classes and getting them out of the way, plus in the spring i'll be taking a cna class, so i'm excited for this upcoming semester.

so that's me! thanks for reading!

Hello everyone!!

I am 27. I have 3 kiddos~~8y/o boy, 3 3/4 y/o boy, 2 y/o girl. I will be starting my nursing courses in August. Just received my letter this month. I had started Nursing school back in 2004 but due to complications with my pregnancy I wasn't able to go back that winter.

I am a former Army Medic so hopefully some of it will come back to me. Been awhile.

So anyhow, here I am getting back into it. This time with 3 kids instead of 1!!:uhoh21:

Forgot to add that I am happily married!!
