Hello, I am a mother of a very active 5 year old son and work full time as a cna. I have always dreamed of becoming a nurse, but, did not think that I had what it takes. I am so glad that I have found the allnurses forum because Reading post from everyone has been so motivating for me. I plan on starting my pre req's next semester at a local cc and I'm kind of nervous because I have been out of school for a while and I know that Its going to be tough road..but I'm going to go for it!!!!!!! Thanks everyone for sharing your stories and tips, good luck and God Bless!!!
