Thanks for all of the welcomes!

The wait list for the the nursing program at the technical college I am attending is very long. I will be starting school this fall, but have to take 3 pre-req courses (all of which are pre-reqs of one another, so they must be split up over 3 semesters). It is only once I finish those that I may be added to the RN program wait list, which is 1-2 years long. So, I'll be looking at at least 2 years before I can start any nurses courses. The waiting is the hardest part..... They keep saying "shortage of nurses", but it's also "shortage of instructors" to teach all of us that want so badly to become nurses! It sucks...

Hello everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself. After years of working at a job I find unfulfilling, I've finally decided it was time to return to school! I will be a pre-nursing student as of this fall, hoping to eventually become an RN. I am excited (and a little nervous!) beyond words. I've always known that I wanted to help people in some way. At first I thought of going into social work, but I ended up choosing nursing, and I think it will suit me well. I've been reading threads on this site for a number of months now and finally signed up today. I look forward to chatting with you all and hopefully learning a lot as well! Also, I should add that I would be appreciative of any study, organizational, or general tips you can give to me as a pre-nursing student! It's been a while since I've been in school! Lindsey
