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?

Nice to meet you all.

Hi all, my name is Tess. I'm 27 years old, married for 5 years to my childhood sweetheart (a police officer) and have one daughter 2 1/2 (light of my life). i'm starting my last semester of a 4 semester ADN program in January. i'm so excited and nervous at the same time. i just started a job last july as a nursing tech on the mother/baby unit at our local hospital. they are already saving a position for me for after graduatation. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY JOB!!! i had thought all along that i wanted to work ER (i'm an EMT also) but i had a family tragedy (lost my 21yo only brother this last oct. to a MVA) and decided that's not a dept i can deal with. so i'm happy where i am. i'm looking forward to getting my world back together and getting this last semester over and done with. give me a couple of years to decide if i'm going back to get my BSN. :-) Good luck and best wishes to all my fellow nursing students!!!

Hi All!

My name is Carl. I am 43 years old, married, with no kids and I will be just starting my preq. next month. Afterwards I hope to start an Accelerated BSN degree. I currently have a BSEE and a Masters degree.

There are two schools near me that have accelerated programs, and their preqs are pretty similar. I will be applying to both of them soon and then I suppose I will have to nail down exactly what I need to take.

This is a great forum. I look forward to coming here as my new career progresses.

I'm 32, married (for 12 1/2 years, but who's counting), 4 kids (18yo stepdaughter, 11 yo girl, 9 yo boy, and 4 yo boy) that's 2 and 2 !!! There shouldn't be anymore!!! 2 dogs: Chainy a pound puppy - boxer mix we've had for 2 years and Emma who's a pure black lab and 4.5 months old (weighing nearly 50lbs!!!!!)

I'm starting my second semester of a 4 semester ADN program! Almost halfway there!! All my prereqs are done although I found out that to convert to a BSN I need a couple more GEs.

Loving every minute of nursing school!!! I was born to do this!!
