Thats why I started this journey because my husband has been working all his adult life but he lost his job in march and is currently waiting on a decision due to his poor health, he is 37 with the body of a 75-80 yr old. I have to be able to provide for us because he is not able to. Yes changes bother me and being with new ppl is hard I always feel like Im being judged and the list goes on and on. I enjoy nursing school but worry if I will be strong enough to get through this. THank you for your replies, I realize that others are nervous also but they seem so much more confident to me. I just keep praying and telling myself that "I know not what the future holds but I know who holds the future." and " I can do all things thru Christ whom gives me strength" As a good friend of mine always says PRESS ON

I am 32, mother of 2 beautiful girls 9 & 5. I am starting nursing school in the LPN program at Gville Tech this semester. I was accepted the 1st time that I applied and will be going all the way through to RN. We have 3 sets that start fall semester, I am starting in the last set in November. I am excited but yet scared to death. Ill also be taking Western Civ, Micro225, and an online class also. I am a straight A student but dont have the confidence when it comes to test taking and I find myself getting sick to my stomach once I even start thinking about being with new ppl in a new environment every 5 weeks. None of my group of friends are starting with me they were going to transfer to USC upstate up until the lawsuits came about over there, so they have decided to stay at GT but have to apply for spring. Ive always been told I was a failure and even with the good grades and making the Deans list every semester I still have doubts that I can do this and the NCLEX well I dont even want to go there Im already paniced about that HA HA HA

Thank you, yes 31 points got me in. I have several friends that are nurses and a couple are nurse managers and one owns her own research business and does the trial med studies. The Dr's have told them on more than one occasion that they would much rather hire a Greenville Tech grad than a USC or Clemson grad because GT students get so much more/ and better trainning. I will be going all the way through for RN but it was quicker to get in the program this way and I get to finish my RN prereq's while Im waiting for clinicals to start. It does take a long time but the extra trainning obviously is worth it!

I found 210 and 211 to be easy am just finishing 211 this week with A's in both classes however, my classmates that took summer 211 and micro225 together this summer have me scared out of my wits about 225 which I start in 2 weeks. Anything is do-able if you set your mind to it!

I am just finishing Bio211 last test is Wednesday. I highly recommend getting Kathrine Haynie she was a wonderful prof! I got into the LPN program the first time that I applied with 31 pts and will be starting clinicals in November, Im excited and nervous at the same time. Ill be finishing my prereq's while waiting for my clinicals to start. Im a 32 yr old mother of 2 girls that waited 13 yrs to go back to school but have worked in the hospice field for many years, Ive been so blessed with this entire experience!
