Published

I see chats for all of you under 25 and those of you over 35. now those stuck in the middle have a room to..:chuckle

Hi:

I am 34 and have been married almost 3 years (August 15th). I have a B.A. in English so I have prereqs to take big time. I will take Chemistry this fall, probably Math in the spring, and Psych over next summer. Though it's a year away I've already begun studying A&P and Dimensional Analysis (Math). I haven't studied Chemistry since high school but my husband has a Ph.D. in Chemistry so he BETTER help me! :cool:

We don't have kids yet and I am trying to figure out how in the world am I going to take these classes and plan for a family too. I feel guilty about the prospects of having such a young child and classes fighting for my attention....I'm not getting any younger and don't feel I can put it off too much longer.

In the meantime we have a four legged fur kid, a tuxedo cat.

If I survive this nursing school gig I think I would like to work in Oncology.

Hi everyone, I've noticed this thread before and am just now responding. I'm 27, married, 1 child, and I officially start my nursing program this fall. I'm finishing up my last prereq now. Nervous and excited at the same time. I should have that BSN in December 2004.

I am a 25 year old BSN student. I have a wonderful husband who is the light of my life (yes, I am a newlywed - 1 yr last month, but I hope to always feel so wonderful about him). I have finished almost all of my preq so after this fall I only have clinical classes left! No kids yet.

Hi Everyone,

I hope it's ok to join you guys. I'm in the same boat, I'm 27 years old and have two kids ( 6 mo and 4 yr). I have to admit I am terrified about starting nursing school. If anyone has any advise or suggestions please feel free to give them to me, I'll take all the support anyone wants to offer. And I'm here for anyone that needs a shoulder or an ear. I'm glad I found this thread.

Best of luck to everyone

Sorry to but in--I am 11 years past the age group. I admire you all, have been there, done that, have the t-shirt. I decided to go back to college for my RN at age 24, was one of 3 of the oldest in my class. I graduated in 84, and have been @ the same place ever since. Beginning in 90, I started taking classes towards my BSN, finished all but stats in 96. Finally got the nerve to finish--am a math dunce! So I can say I now have my BSN!!!!Whoopeee!!! My goal is to finish my masters--have taken 5 classes towards it, & am registered for 2 online courses beginning 8/26. This leaves me with only 20 to go. My point? I started college with 2 little ones. I learned to study amidst the noise & chaos of a 1 & 3 year old. And a very childish husband. Money was very tight, we had lots of arguments about it (and my studying). My last 2 kids were born after I graduated. We divorced in 88, and I was very fortunate to meet my current hubby in 89. No matter where my career has taken me, he supports me every step of the way. I am well aware of all the pitfalls and difficulties all of you face. Speaking for myself, if it is something we want badly enough, it is worth working hard for. Good luck.

I am 21, but i feel 30. Can I consider myself part of this group too? Married, and the mother of two, I don't feel part of the traditional nursing student crowd. In my own hang out with the 25 & up students, the younger ones don't seem to understand how easy they have it. No husband to cook for, No babies to breastfeed, and no worries about paying your own tuition and paying your own bills as well. I know there are exceptions, (I am Living Proof) but for the most part I believe i nailed it.

I for one welcome you. There are exceptions to every rule
