Is there anyone out there just beginning this process?

Published

Hello All,

I'm brand new to the site. Just stumbled across this website and have read so much information from all of you. I want to thank you all! All of you have so much knowledge and experience and give me so much inspiration. I am changing careers late in my life (I feel) and have read most of the posts regarding that --and again, thank you! I have decided this change due to the fact I feel I am being drawn towards this. Through my entire life I have been around or worked in the Health Care area and my kids are (semi) grown and out of the house now, things have taken a turn and so I feel like its "my time" now. To get to the point...........I'm feeling all alone here.....Is there anyone out there that has just started this venture and would like a chat partner to go through this experience with? I'm just starting my pre reqs and will be awaiting acceptance into the nursing program at the local college. I haven't attended school in like..22 years. I plan to stay connected to this website, once again --- Thanks for all the helpful hints and great experiences that all of you share ...I've cried several times over stories already and used information that I'm sure to need in the future. Thanks again!

I am also starting my journey into a second career. I start my pre reqs on Thursday. I dont feel as nervous as I thought I would. I feel really excited and feel that this is what I am supposed to be doing. I have been in the same career for 12 years and it is not what I want to do anymore, I have always wanted to be a nurse and now is the time, I can feel it!!! I am taking Eng 101 and MAT 0075 at my local Community College. I am going part time so I think it will be at least a year or two before I apply to a nursing program!! Well good luck to all. :yeah:

Just want to thank you all for moving my post. I didn't know how to work the site yet. Thanks to all for your replies. I am really motivated now. I have talked to many people regarding nursing. I think maybe I was trying to find something to talk myself out of it. Now that I have read alot of the posts.....I am alot like all of you. I thought I was going to have to be tough headed and keep myself motivated on my own. But now, I have a WORLD of people to connect with. Thanks! I will keep in touch.
