I found this web site yesterday and have been avidly reading all of the posts. I wanted to thank each of you for the comments, suggestions, and especially the creator for making this site available.
I am currently enrolled to begin my final semester at a community college to finish prerequisites to enter a BSN program in January. I start classes on May 8.
Six years ago, while struggling with dead end job after dead end job, I enrolled in a community college in Florida and declared a Nursing major for an ADN program there. I worked hard and got accepted into the program first try. (Something I was very proud of.) However, I declined my spot in the program due to the stigma of being a male and attempting to be a nurse. I have continued to work in jobs I hate to attempt to pay the bills. Once again, I am going to attempt to be a nurse and I think this web site and all of you are helping me to know I am making the correct chioce for me.
Things I know are ahead:
1. It will be difficult.
2. It will be worth it.
Anyway, as the title says, I appreciate this site. If I had found this 6 years ago, maybe I would be among the great people I have seen post here, and an active member of a profession I know I can truly contribute to.
Sincerely...
