I have to say FINALLY I found someone in the exact same boat I am in- I just refuse to take these classes again its very frustrating- I dont mind A&P but these other science courses I almost completed Pre- Med Thank you for the insight- I m determined and I hope I can make this work

I thought the same thing - I have heard the people from Nurse TV may cross over to a program on Discovery Health they had an interview some time ago. If you havent checked out nurse tv - its pretty good. all videos! www.nursetv.com

Thanks for the warnings. I did go to college for Pre-med (even though it was a while ago) I worked as a Massage Therapist in clinical environments and a Physical therapy assistant as well. So I have some preparation but still know it will be hard but Im ready.

:nuke: Thank you all for your kind words. The 40 Club - doesnt sound so bad ( i look 30 so im lucky there- you are definitely an inspiration.

Great Answer-LOL Thanks for the Support!

I have made a decision in my life that came at one of the most difficult times I have ever been through. Four days ago my father died in Hospice. A few weeks ago he went into the hospital for a colectomy. There ended up being complications and later he was in ICU for a week. Then they found cancer in another part of his body and it was Michelle the ICU nurse that I became so close with that told me about the process and what would be the best for him. She was amazing, but so were all the nurses, even the ****** ones. I never had been to any Hospice before, never had any one close to me die even. The Hospice house was a beautiful place filled with people with incredible compassion and care. Before my father went in, a friend who has been a patient tech for many years said "Jeff im worried about you ,Life has been a struggle for you, your so smart and caring, you could change careers, you should become a Nurse." well I certainly thought- WHAT? im 42 ! been a Mortgage broker for 8 years how can I start now? Well every day, the best part of my day, was my interaction with the nurses and I wanted to do everything they did for my father and I realized- this is what I want, this is the service I want to give, the money,security and stability are all things that follow. So thank you Michelle, Russ, Charlie (the 65 yr old nurse who started at 50!), Jim, Glenda, and the others who make a difference in life every day. Im ready and cant wait to become a Nurse and join the noblest profession I have ever been witness to. Im sure you will see a lot of me up here as a proud newbie Thanks Jeff
