My story:)

Published

Hi! My name is Lindsay. I am a 34 year old wife (married 12 years) and mother with 3 children, ages 11, 7 and 1 year old. This past January, I decided I want to go back to school and be a nurse! Since I never completed high school, I first had to get my GED (Highschool equivalency diploma). I studied hard for it and passed my GED in June! In March, I registered as a student at my local college and began my prerequisites for the Practical Nursing program. So far I completed Math with 84% and now I am taking Chemistry and hope to get around 80% for that. Then I need to take Biology and English. I plan to start the Practical Nursing program in September 2016. That is, if I get accepted into the program. My husband is okay with me going back to school. Any advice for me? I am a little nervous to do this but somehow I really want to do this! :)

Thank you! I wish you the best as well, I see you are a future nurse. :)

Sounds like OP has a great plan & kudos to her supportive Hubs!

Just wanted to add.... I know two Chief Nurse Executives, one MSN, PhD & one CRNA, PhD.... who both began their educational journeys with GEDs. Hang in there. You've got this.

Thanks for sharing this about how they started out with getting their GED's. It's very encouraging and motivating! :)

How do I send my GED Transcripts to a community college...?
