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 Everyone

Hey everyone, I'm so glad I found this place. My name is Brandi, I'm 23 and in my first year of nursing classes. I've got two to go for my BSN. I work as a CNA in cardiology right now and I love it.

I'm single and I don't have any kids, but I have a little sister (she's 16, that's still little right?:chuckle ) and a dog that keep me busy.

I tend to lurk around boards, but I'm sure I'll get more comfortable with posting soon. Good luck everyone!

Specializes in Home Health Care.

It has been so fun, to read everyone's introductions! I'm new to this board & to nursing. I am a former c.n.a & mom of 3 girls, ages: 8, 5 & 1 yr old.

After hearing the last complaint of my husband telling me that he "can no longer stand watching (Maternity ward and Life in the E.R, on TLC ; and his suggestion of getting a job in nursing instead of watching it," i decided to enroll in my local college. I haven't applied for the nursing program, yet, but i am in the pre-nursing focus group. I start my first class this wed/27. Since i'm a stay at home mom, i plan to take classes slowly. Have my fingers crossed to graduate from the ADN program around 2007-2008!

I'm very happy to have found this board and hope to get to know you all!

Specializes in Emergency Nursing...Yay!!.

Greetings to All,

I just got home from my first day of my Nursing Program, and just had to share it with someone. Since no one is home, I thought I would bend the ears of all you kind folks (fellow students) out there.:roll

Firstly, a little bit about myself. I am 41 years old and am finally realizing my dream of becoming a nurse. It truly has been a life long ambition for me that, due to certain circumstances, was put on hold for.. ooohh...about 25 years:D

But now, thanks to some creative financial aid, a very supportive family, and of course a year and a half of hard work taking prerequisites........I STARTED NURSING SCHOOL TODAY!!!:roll

I am excited and terrified all at the same time. We received our schedules today for theory classes, lab, and clinical rotations and it is quite overwhelming. But, I will just take a deep breath and dive in head first.

Well, thank you for taking the time to listen to me. I expect I will be using these forums for support quite often in the next few years.

4 semesters and counting...........

Tammy
