Great job!! Keep up the good work!

Ok, you feel free to do the same.

Hi to all readers, I wanted to know if there are any students here from the Goldsboro area that are attending Wayne CC. Would love to know any stories you may have. Your stories and so on. I'll start it off; I'm 42 years young, a devoted husband of ...

I'm a 42 yo husband to an amazing woman and father to 5 wonderful children, 4 boys and 1 girl ages 19, 18, 15, 12 and 10. My Princess is the baby and Daddy's little girl. I'm still taking pre-reqs (only 3 left), but not at the moment. I'm finishing u...

I thought about applying to Lenoir CC, but I really want to go to WCC.

Good to hear from you! I was beginning to think I was the only one here going to WCC. What pre-reqs do have left? I've still got to take A&P 1,2 and micro. I can't wait to get back to my family and to school!!

Well I guess I'm the only one up here that lives in the Goldsboro, NC area. How about anyone that wants to talk about their story?

You are quite welcome!

Let me say I'm proud of you and it is good to see a young person, such as yourself, that has their mind set on what it is they want to go to college for and spend their lives doing. So many teenagers graduate high school and head off to college with ...

Let me just encourage you by saying "You can do it!" (in my Rob Schneider voice) lol!! I know this because I do it. I don't want to sound cliched, but I hope you get the point. For me the most important thing was having a good support system. I'm ma...

I'm 42, so trust me when I say that you are not old. Heck for that matter, none of us are "old". I remember my Grandmother telling me once, who was in her mid to late 60's at the time and a very active woman, that you are only as old as you want to b...

I'm a 42 yo male, so I feel your pain. In fact I've had kids in some of my classes that were the same age or just a little older than my two oldest sons.

LOL, you are not alone. It might be a little abnormal for me because I'm a guy, but I do enjoy it. I think there's a certain level of excitement that comes from buying those supplies because you know that school will be starting soon. Plus I love the...

Great article!!! Very funny!! Thoroughly enjoyed reading it!

Anybody out there from my area?

The OP asked "Do you think you should have "people person" (communication) skills to go into nursing? Some people think - YES, it's a requirement. Others strongly believe that it if you are not a people person than nursing profession is not for you. ...

I really enjoyed reading this article! I pray that I will have instructors like you when I start my nursing program.

Let me start out by saying that a certain level of nervousness is natural and completely normal when undertaking something new, especially something as challenging as nursing school. As far as overcoming that nervousness or fear, what works for me is...

The things that some people post on facebook is both shocking and appalling and IMO shows their level of intelligence. I see some posts and think to myself that that person is as smart as a bag of hammers. It's kind of like those people that go on th...

I'm a 42 yo husband and father of 5 wonderful children (4 boys and 1 girl, she's the baby). I've been working on my pre-req's off and on for a few years and I'm almost done. It's taken so long because I work overseas as a contractor. I work overseas ...

If you don't mind commuting, I go to Wayne CC in Goldsboro Nursing « Welcome to Wayne Community College | Goldsboro, NC, which is about an hour or so from Raleigh (depending on traffic and where you live in Raleigh). Whatever college you decide on y...

I'm going to agree with Heathermaizey here. I would definetly go for the RN. Check with your local community college to see if they offer an ADN program. You can do the RN-BSN bridge later on.

42 years young here. I'm almost done with my pre-reqs and can't wait to start nursing school. I've often wondered if I was too old to pursue nursing, because in almost all of my classes thus far I've always been the one of the oldest if not the oldes...
