CLNormand, thank you for sharing this very personal post. Firstly, you are not too old to start nursing school, not even close. I just graduated, and I am 40, soon to be 41. When I decided to...

Very well written! I agree with all of the points in the article, and the follow-up comments. I just finished my final semester, and am one week from graduating. I felt very fortunate in that my...
I have no idea how to set up a FB page either, lol. My nursing class is the reason I got FB in the first place... and now I use it all the time. The best way I can describe nursing school is a...

I started working when I was 13, moved out of the house at 17, and dropped out my senior year of HS. I got my GED 6 months later. Spent most of my working years as a waitress, bartender, and then...
