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?

Hello. My name is Jill and I'm 36 years old. I'm married with 4 kids (9, 6, 2 year old twins.) I feel I'm a lifetime student taking classes here and there to become a nurse. I'm taking biology in 2 weeks and I should be able to apply to the nursing program next year. I just finished a CNA class last month and I start a job in a lab at a hospital doing drug screening tonight.......my first medical job. I'm very excited :D !

Hi, it's a pleasure to meet y'all! This is my 1st post, although I've perused this board for the past month. I can't tell you how helpful and informative allnurses.com has been. Y'all are a great bunch of people :)

My name is Chantel, "Buttercup" is my favorite Powerpuff girl! I live in Decatur, GA (just outside of Atlanta). I'm single, share a house with one of my best friends from highschool, and have a really cool cat named Charlie. Nursing will be a 2nd career. I've been in banking for the past 13 yrs, but have been dissatisfied with it for awhile.

In March '01, my baby brother sustained a broken back/leg & nerve damage from a MVA. We were fortunate to have wonderful nurses & PT's that made a difference in his recovery. I thought how wonderful it must be to make that kind of difference in someone's life and contemplated changing careers to nursing. However, I made excuses why I should stay in my current job. :nono:

This past April, I was told that my job would be phased out in Feb '02. :confused: I knew this was a sign. As a freshman in 1983, my major had been physical therapy, and I've always regretted changing it. So I felt this was the push, or shall I say shove? ;) that I needed to make a commitment to a nursing career.

I have quite a few pre-reqs before I can begin...Chemistry, Statistics, A & P I and II, Microbiology & Abnormal Psych. :eek: However, I must work until Feb 20, '03 to get my severence pkg. :( So I'm volunteering in the ICN/SCN at a local hospital and plan to start pre-req's in Jan '03.

Anyhoo, I've enjoyed getting to know you all via these posts. Now that I've gotten over my initial shyness, I plan on participating frequently. The best of luck to you all!

Hello to everyone:D

My name is Larry.....retired from the the military after 30 years (you do the math for my age:) ) I was a medic/corpsman so I decided to get my BSN:eek:

Married to my child bride for 23 wonderful years:kiss No one else for me:D (she's really more than I can handle...and no I'm NOT sharing)...

Right now I'm in the "wait for your transcript to arrive" stage to see if I need any prereqs, I know that I will need some. I have a BS degree but not in Nursing so there will be some fill in the blank courses to take.....:cool:

This forum is really a godsend, thank all of you for your post they have really helped me a lot and I look forward to many semesters of posting and reading others.

Mr. L

ps

My wife says I look like my avator/picture
