Wanting a pen pal

Published

I've posted on here several times, and each time - received mostly no responses.

I will post here one more time... maybe this time, I'll reach someone.

I am a pre-nursing student. I am finishing up my pre-reqs and will be applying to the program hopefully this December or next January.

I am just searching for someone who I can befriend. Someone who is already a nurse, a nursing student or even a fellow pre-nursing student.

Where I live, I have tried Craigslist and even though there are lots of students in my school going towards the same goal - none seem to be interested in either making a friend to go through with this, or give advice and guidance.

I love my family dearly, and I know they love me and are extremely supportive of what I am doing. However, as we all know - they will never fully understand the commitment, stress, and overall constraints of this journey.

So if there are any willing participants who either want a friend to confide in, through email, online chat, phone conversation, or if you live near me even - we could meet up to study or whatever. Please feel free to respond.

Hi there,

Thanks for responding. I am attending GMU right now for my pre-reqs. I am going for my BSN, since I already have an AA degree. Didn't want to get another associates if I can just go for the bachelor's you know? I am applying for GMU's nursing program for the fall of 2010. :)

What classes are you taking, and where?

I'm taking NAS 162 which is BIO 125 for GMU, psychology and pharmacology and ITE 115 which is a basic computer class. I forget what it transfers into at GMU. I'm taking them all at NVCC. Heck of a lot cheaper than GMU. Did you consider taking your pre-reqs at NVCC? Are you going for the traditional bachelors or the second degree?

I'd love to talk. I feel the same way sometimes, like no one can quite understand unless they are going through it. PM me if you want to talk.

Sorry you went unnoticed,

I don't live in your area of VA (I'm in Hampton Roads), but I do know what you are going through having been in your shoes only recently (I graduated in 2007). If you want to chat or have questions related to study, etc. please PM me.

Thanks for all of your posts.... it means alot to me. I keep trying to find online study groups, or rooms where I can ask others opinions on things. Right now I am taking BioMedical Ethics and Advance Composition... in a few short months it seems, I will be heading into A&P and a few other classes as I make my way towards nursing school.

Thank you so much. I hope you all have had a good Vday weekend!
