I want to be a nurse 4 weeks ago

I am a 42-year old single parent and I want to be a nurse. I have looked on the web and looked at different colleges. I live in a very remote area so I am very limited to what I have around me. I know that I have to take all my precourses first. Can I take all of these at once, can I take any of them online? I have not been in school since 1985 (I know) and I don’t know or understand what any of the test are that you have to take before you get into college? I have had a very hard road behind me and I desperately want this so that I can give my son a better life while showing him just how important education is. I just don’t know where to begin, any help would be very much appreciated

Being an EMT got me interested in the medical field. I’m doing my pre-requisites at community college right now. In about two semesters I should be able to get into the nursing program. I can’t wait.



I did it! 16 months ago

Today was a monumental day.

In May I graduated nursing school.July 11, 2008 at 8:00 AM, I took the one test that decided my fate…The NCLEX.

I was so scared while taking the test. I felt as though I was going too fast. But I kept reminding myself that I needed to trust my first instinct. So I did. I finished in 85 questions and in 1 hour, 10 minutes. I left the testing center feeling like a total failure. There were so many things that I was SURE I didn’t get right.

And so the 48 hour wait began. I tried to keep busy but it still lingers in the back of your head. This morning at 10:50, I got on the Pearson Vue website and it said the miraculous words “Your exam results are available for review.”

I quickly grabbed my credit card and punched the numbers in. My hands were shaking and my heart pounding. I’m lucky I didn’t go V-Fib!!! With bated breath, I clicked, “Next”. I could hardly watch. And then I saw the word, “PASS”.

I broke down… Happy tears, like a sigh of relief. All of this that I worked so hard for finally came to an end and with that end came a new beginning. I am a nurse.

I’m still doing online high school, and I won’t graduate for at least another year since I’m over a year and a half behind. Oh well, I will get there someday! =]

Finished my first semester of pre-requisites and am beginning to put applications in these nest two months.

I am not worried about the stress or the hard work at all. I just want to get in. I think that is oneof the hardest parts.
