:) Hello everyone!
My name is Dianne and I am a 46 yo pre-nursing student. I have finished all my pre-reqs and will be taking the PSB-NAT this week then applying for summer start of nursing school.
My history is BE-EE in 1984 (that's bachelors of engineering - electrical engineering) followed by 3 yrs in the USAF as a Satellite Ops Officer. I continued that career for a time and finally got into programming mainframe computers - which I have been doing for the past 16 yrs. The down side to that is layoffs ever 2 - 3 yrs! I am done with this so I am going to finish a nursing degree, get my RN then an MSN.
My father is a USAF retiree. Hubby is SCANG (South Carolina Army National Guard) AGR (Active Guard Reserve) Master Gunner. DD is a Combat Medic coming home from the sand box at the end of Jan. :banana:
I have 4 more natural children and 4 step children! Of the 9 kids, 6 are adults and the remaining 3 are 16 (on Jan 2), 15 and 12. :eek:
Aside from the military heritage, I also come from a family of nurses! My mother, sister and brother are all nurses. I am studying to become a nurse and my daughter will be finishing her nursing degree when she gets out 3 months after returning home.
I am glad to be a member of the forum and hope to have some great conversations with you all.
