I AM MAN ENOUGH! I made the decision to go after a nursing career recently. I am ex-football player, IT Sales and Recruiting guy and I am gettting a good amount of grief from the guys I used to hang with. They too have the image of a nurse in a white uniform, a little hat and a mean disposition. What they don't realize is that I am a father of three little girls which has helped me to handle darn near any situation, and I am quite comfortable with my place in my upcoming profession. I am only a pre-nursing student right now, but I will make one hell of a nurse when I get there, and I WILL get there! Cheers all! Bill Ostrum

Taking Math and Psych (Prerequisite hell) while working full time and raising my three daughters. Yikes.

What other programs in the area are worth the time and effort? I am really committed to this, but I am also a 35 year old male with three kids, so my time is pretty precious to me. Any others in the area that are worth their weight?

I am going to College Of DuPage for my pre requisites and eventually my ADN. I am taking the math pre-requisite and a psych class this summer, and A&P and the CNA class in the fall. Anyone out there going to COD? OR anyone heard about their program? All information is appreciated. Bill Ostrum

WOW! At 35, I was a Sophomore in High School in 1987! YIKES! Thanks for the laugh!
