Congrats

I work in a school for CNA and HHA's. I would say don't give up. Keep looking for job openings and dropping off your resume. If your not getting any hits have you considered maybe volunteering at a hospital? Some of our CNA's and even LPNs looking for work sometimes decide to volunteer. It's a great way to build professional relationships but also get your foot in the door. Making yourself visible and available will help them to consider you for an opening. Also maybe it's time to contact the school where you recieved your training. Your school has access to many different opportunities and openings. Talk to them about your search see what kind of services they can provide for you as a graduate of their program. Good luck

Hello all I too began taking my first pre-req courses. I felt a bit uncomfortable with the idea that I might be one of the older people (27) in class but I realized that I am investing in my future and education. Age really doesn't matter. I do enjoy being a part of this community and seeing I am not alone.

I will be taking statistics this fall.....not a fan of math either

Hello all I am in the process of applying for my first pre req courses. I was wondering what are the tuition prices for the courses you are taking and how are you paying for them? I am married, working but I obviously have some financial responsibilities.

Hello all This is my first post to allnurses and a huge step for me in my career. I like others before am a licensed teacher (but not currently teaching). I have my degree in elementary education. I went into teaching with great enthusiasm and commitment to the field. However there have been many changes in my life which have pushed me to seriously consider making the change. First off I come from a family of nurses needless to say when I "rebel ed" and became a teacher I worked hard to establish myself by myself. I worked as a pre-k teacher but due to the economy the school closed which lead me to substituting. Things in the field of education seemed unstable and for the first time I really began to doubt everything. Over time things improved however I want to get into nursing.I have a supportive husband no children but I think now is the time to make this change. At times I feel somewhat guilty for making this choice like I'm turning my back on something I worked hard to get. Anyone have a similar experience of sadness and guilt?
