Can this be right? I'm 57 years old, it's 3 days until end of 3rd semester of nursing school, and a teacher calls me to his office and kicks me out of school... because I am MENTALLY ILL .. My IPR Nov 8-State Hospital PSYCHIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH clini...

AWESOME! I'll have my BSN in 2 more semesters (hopefully!) and I'm now 55. I feel SO MUCH BETTER just knowing somewhere someone else my age is doing or done this. Thanks from the bottom of my heart!

That's ridiculous! I would have denied, denied, denied..... Makes me wonder if this webmaster is in any way obligated to disclose identity, which I'm certain the answer is, "Not!" After all, I believe, a main purpose/reason for this site (which, t...

Hi Lyn, I was wondering how school is going for you since you should have quite a bit behind you by now....so, I thought I would ask. Is it great? I hope so....

Thanks for your reply. They won't let me re-enroll. I don't know why they made me withdraw. I couldn't find a legitimate reason, according to policy. But, as I have found, they can do anything they want. Go over their head, and you open up a can of w...

HELP! Good News: I actually got my acceptance letter from MSU today for the Spring nursing program. Bad News: I caught "swine" flu from my microbiology professor and ended up missing one lab, and he kicked me out (told me I had to withdraw...so, kic...

What? Tell me more? What all can we take online? Online where? I can tell you're a woman in-the-know! And since I-don't-know, please I'd be so grateful for details.

Yeah, we do need to be mindful, verrry mindful. Everybody knows everybody or somebody who does, or married to that "somebody's" cousin, and such. We "grasshoppers" have much to learn...lol... like secret code! Yeah, that's the ticket cause this does ...

Really? Letters maybe in a couple of weeks? Uh oh....my stomach feels sick! lol Prayers and blessings to all of us, and that we get in. We certainly want it badly enough. That's got to count for something! Maybe we should form like a "prayer - vibrat...

Yeah, I was wondering about the 411 on MSU...on pins and needles is more like it, tho. Shouldn't there be a person to call and ask, tactfully, if there is an ETA on "acceptance letters" into the Nursing Program? Because if not accepted, I need to be...

Hey! Me too! I'm going to MSU and supposed to have a "definite" done deal on the nursing program, Spring 2010. Do you guys live in Wichita Falls? None of this is easy, right? Or is it just me? (((ShineOn))) Litenurse2b

Hello SnowRain, I haven't figured out exactly what happened but I wanted to say something to make you feel better. But you know, many times there's just no words that can do that! And this is one of those times. So I'm sending you blessings and will ...

Let me wish you a belated C*O*N*G*R*A*T*S !!! You rock! You are awesome! I'm so proud of you, or is it "for" you, BOTH! OK..then I feel a little better. I'm 52 trying to get a BSN. It seems like the longer I go to school and the harder I push, the f...

Congrats and many Blessings to you, CapNurse! Way-To-Go! And "thanks" for your post. I started college at the big 5-0! I started a 1-yr LVN program, realized I love love love nursing, withdrew and enrolled at the local University headed towards a BSN...

Dear Lyn in NY (and everybody else), Hang in there girl (from one "Golden to another)! You can do it! I was in a nursing program just like yours here in Texas. You say, "Jumping hurdles"? I would challenge the Army, Navy and Marines to "jump those h...

Let's do it! You will have a blast. I know I am. It's hard but fun. The "kids" (my classmates) don't know what to think of me...and the instructors don't know what to do with me...so I can usually get things to go my way. You will, too!

Hi mb, You are so right, about everything! As a single mother, I worked in the administrative/accounting field forever. My mother and grandmother had cancer and I had the privilege of being their primary caregiver til I lost them both within a few mo...

Go Golden Oldies! I'm 52-yrs-old and a nursing student. When I look around my classroom and realize that not only am I older than all my classmates and instructors, but heck, I'm older than the building! But the good thing, is that we are "Boomers" a...

Hi, I am a 50-yr-very-young (well, not really old) LVN student in Texas. I have a 4.0 grade average because I have worked extremely hard. My classmates are very young, just out of high school. Today was the first day of our last semester. All of a s...

So kind of you to care. My daughter lives in St. Pete. I could just go to school on the beach! My plans are to be an RN and even further. Can you go into specialized fields with the accelerated programs? Do you know?

Hi and thanks to everybody, I went over the director's head to a town 70 miles from here and guess who was there? Yeah, you guessed it. So I was told to write to the Board of Appeals, which I did right on the spot. The only thing is, I was told th...

You will never know how much your message meant to me. After two days of non-stop-crying, now I'm crying because of the song you put in my heart. I already did everything you suggested. I would have accepted any disciplinary action he desired (tho ...

Hey Desperate! I'm deserate too. Really, I just posted as such. I'm single, older, no kids or anything. But I do have those financial woes. I am seriously considering a roommate. Has anybody ever tried that? Like I said, "I'm getting really wor...
