New Nursing Student (LVN)

Published

Hi all, I just wanted to introduce myself. I will be starting LVN school at American Career College January 5th and am so excited and nervous at the same time. I've worked at a mortgage company for 13 years and my entire dept. is being layed off at the end of the year. This is the perfect time to make a career change and go back to school since I will be getting severance. That will help pay the bills. I've always been interested in health and health care and really wish I had gotten into this field sooner. I'm now 47 years old, almost 48 and am just now making a career change which is a bit scary. I hope to go on to RN after I make it through LVN. I'm sure it will take a lot of hard work and study but I'm prepared to do it. It's going to be exciting starting a new career. Hats off to all you nurses :nurse: on here. I love:redbeathe reading all your stories.

Best of luck to you! I was a Telecommunications Manager for a large Health Care System here in South Jersey. At 51 my position was eliminated. So I decided to do what I always wanted. I graduated in September. Took my boards on Nov. 3rd and I am starting my new career December 1st! I can't wait. The pay is less than what I used to make, but money does not matter to me anymore. I am going to be happy doing what I have always wanted for the first time in my life! Study hard! And congrats on the career change!
