"anklebiters"... love it! And it's so right on the money too!!!!

I just started today. I am 44 and am in a class of about 120 people. By the rough count I made there's about 1 guy for every 5 women. Glad I'm in my 40's and have seen and done it all already. I don't think I could have handled it in my 20's!!!!

I'm 44 and I say amen to that. Seen it blow up in many friends' and coworkers' faces... not worth the drama!!!

Yeah craig, that's great! Never too late!!

Hey guys, this was in the NY Times today about men going into nursing. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/22/your-money/displaced-men-trade-blue-collar-jobs-for-nursing.html?ref=businessspecial5

LOL rockallnight really? Interior design? Do you get a lot of crap from your guy friends? I have at work, but I'm kind of used to it by now. I tell them all that someday I will be giving them a catheter and I'll remember all the s**t they gave me. I'll be so upset that my hands will start to shake and tremble. They fill in the blanks from there...

Good for you emarosa. It's great that you're young enough to know what you want to at that age. I certainly didn't. You'll have a nice long career in one of the fastest growing, most secure fields out there. What you may lack in life experience you'll (hopefully) make up for in energy, enthusiasm, and teachability. Good luck dude...

Thanks smg. 5 posts, woot woot!!

Thanks smg... I think I did find it. It was "BHSN Technical 2012". Either that or the "BHSN Powderpuff 2012" one, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't that! Appreciate the help. p.s. you can PM after you've posted 15 times.

For you BHSN people, this is from the school's website as of today, 5/3/12: Is there a time limit on transferable courses? Science courses must not be older than 7 years. Exceptions to this will be considered on a case by case basis by the Admissions Committee. There is no time limit on any of the other courses.

I looked but only found "... 2011". I will look again today. A few more posts and I'll be able to PM.

May I ask, CT Pixie, WHERE you went to school? Was a CT CC program. I will be attending Bpt (BHSN) this fall. I may have 1 or 2 science classes that fall into this category. Does the "7 year rule" apply to when you BEGAN the program or when you GRADUATE? (i.e. must they be 7 or less when you start the program or when you finish?)

I'm 44 now. I started taking pre-reqs a few years back at a partnering CC. I got in for Fall 2012 at the local NS and it's a 2 yr program, so I'll be 46 when I get out. Like many of you, it's something I've thought of doing for a while and it's finally going to happen. PSYCHED!!

I can't PM yet, I'm a noobie to this site. I need like 10 more postings to get that privelige. I'll do it by next week then PM you. Thanks

Try again smg08009, not there as of midnight Wed...
