Hi everyone -

My name is Meg, I just joined this forum. I'm a 3rd year nursing student, starting clinicals this Winter (hopefully!!!!!) and will graduate August 2005! I am almost 21 years old.

I have interests in psychiatric nursing, ER, CCU, peds... I'm pretty much open to lots of stuff. Hope to meet some new people here!

Hey there, I'm Shawna, 25, married 18 months and no kids. I am taking physiology, then microbio is next and then I can apply for the ADN program. I am used to getting A's but Physiology is killing me! My goal is to work as a civilian RN in an Army Hospital...granddad was a big Army hero in WWII but I never knew him, as he died in a plane crash coming home from the Europe theatre in 1945. Somehow I feel working in an Army hospital will bring me closer to him...I know, it sounds crazy but it's just something I have to do.

My hobbies include sailing, reading, being with my hubby, and just relaxing.

God Bless.

Hi, I am Brenda, I am 42, mother of 3 and grandma of 4. I am in my sophmore year of an Rn program and I am currently enjoying a weeks break!!! I have been an LPN for 14 years and decided it was time for me to move ahead. It has been a real challenge trying to manage my family, job and school but I know it will be worth it in the end. Keep Smiling.

Hello,

I am new to this and will be new to the nursing world as well. I have already graduated with a B.S. in Kinesiology in 1999 and now I realize that I should have stuck with my instincts to be a nurse. I am 29, not married, no kids and currently working for a nonprofit as a Health Initiatives Director. I have all my prereqs except for Microbiology, which I will be taking in January and hopefully I will get accepted to a program in the Fall 2004. Need some help... would you recommend a BSN or an ADN program since I already have a B.S.?? I have been looking into an accelerated BSN program but it's pretty expensive and I am not sure if it will make a big difference since I already have a B.S. and strong administration/work experience. I would appreciate any advice. :)
