Just wanted to introduce myself!

Hey Shawna, I'm Sacha. I'm really new to this site as well and our stories seem to be in line. I am also finishing my pre reqs and applying in either spring or fall of 2010. I'm a wife and mom to two crazy kiddos.

Life gets hectic trying to balance everything out and maybe we can be eachothers cheerleaders.

Hi Shawna! We have alot in common already! I hope that I am starting the nursing program by Fall 2010 as well. I am married with two kids about the same age as yours. We should keep in touch - sounds like we will be going through the same things about the same time and have family that is closely the same! Good luck

Hi all! I just joined tonight, b/c I have so many questions. I'm 38 yrs. old and just starting my pre-reqs this summer. I have 2 kids at home, 12 yr. old boy and 9 yr. old girl. I work full-time at a hospital as a Spanish Interpreter. I'm taking 3 classes this summer. I'm just wondering if I'm getting in over my head by taking 3 classes all at once plus work full time. Are you working full time and going to school??

Nice to meet you all! A few of our stories are similar, it will be nice to have someone to turn to that understands exactly what I am going through. Have you all completed GOBC and A&P yet? I am taking GOBC1&2 in the summer sessions, and A&P1&2 next fall and spring. I am very nervous and anxious about those courses, since those gpa's are what determines who is in the program each fall. I am an A student, but having that added pressure scares me. So if you all have taken it already, any advice you could share? What extra study materials should I get? ( flashcards, etc etc) Well, class is about to start so gotta run, but nice to meet ya'll.

I too hope to start Fall 2010, and have 2 kids, 7 and 4....luckily I do not have to work, so I can focus on studying....I am 38 next week.

It seems there are quite a few of us in this age bracket going back to schooL!

Hi Shawna,

I too will be starting Nursing in Fall 2010. I have finished all of my pre and coreq's. I have one child, 5yrs and I work full time. Hope we can swap nursing stories in the future as we travel through our respective Nursing programs.

I too am applying to start fall 2010. I am taking 2 classes this summer, 3 in the fall, 3 in the spring...

I am married also, and have 2 boys (ages 12 and 14).

:) Hopefully I will be accepted into the program!!

Oh yeah - I work full time at a doctors office.. :) I know what you are going through...

Hello Every one this will be my second posting. My name is Trudy I am nervous next friday I will turn 58yrs old and will be attending nursing class this August. MY grandson thinks that it cool. he 10yr old. I have some information about the school I will be attending ,but if any one out there is going to ATS which is located on Alpha Dr in Mayfield, Ohio I would like to ask you some questions. To all the ladies that post for the first time congratulation to us all.

Another 38 year old mom here! I have four kids, ages 13, 9, 7 and 3. I am currently taking my pre-reqs and co-reqs and I hope to begin the nursing program in the summer of 2010. I have my degree in Elementary Ed but I haven't taught since I had my son in 2000. This summer I am taking Statistics and Microbiology. Then A&P 1 in the fall and A&P 2 nest spring. I'm getting kind of worried about Stats and Micro at the same time. Stats is only a 6 wk class but Micro is all summer long.

I will be able to apply for the Nursing program in the Spring of 2010.
