This is already making me more than a little crazy, I guess I really want to study nursing! How can it be we are supposed to sign up for classes like: anatomy & psyiology I & II, biology, microbiology... Ok, maybe this isn't so bad. Is this true, though, we have to take these classes, not only pass them but pass them with excellent grades, and at the same time prepare for the entrance test, and do all this without knowing if we will even be accepted into the program at all??? I have to say, so far this whole nursing idea is turning out to be extremely fascinating, and frustrating, at the same time. Is this just the beginning??? Or is it all for nothing??? Unbelievable...I don't remember ever being so intrigued, and stressed out, just thinking about a new career. Thank you so much for all of these interesting messages, this place is incredible, even if I don't get accepted I'll always remember the way it felt before I knew what was going to happen. I guess I really do want to study nursing, how do you like that. And it only took me until my early 50's to realize it. But I want to get in, I want to get in, I want to get in....this is really hard.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful words of wisdom, and for every encouragement! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help. I am just starting this journey after deciding back in 1990 that I wanted to be a nurse, but you know, eventhough I'm now in my fifties, I'm still excited about this fascinating choice. I am in a much different position at this age, not only divorced, but a grandmom! I guess I can stand the suspence, I've waited this long to really pursue something without hesitation, so why not nursing? I may be an older student, but that's not so bad. I just wish I knew if I will really be in a nursing class, or am I just studying these sciences for my own interest? We'll see, but I am really anxious to find out which way this road will take me...
