Welcome to my blog!
My name is Corinne and I am a 28 year old nursing student at Peninsula College, in Washington. I applied to The Peninsula College School of Nursing in Spring of 2009 and was accepted into the Fall 2009 nursing program and like most students working through Nursing School it is a time really focus on being the best student and potential nurse you can be.
As with many adult students returning to college this is not my first career choice. I have worked as a book keeper and office assistant. However, I wanted to make a change after having my daughter (now two) and find something that I loved and could support myself doing. Nursing was a perfect fit.
In returning to school to complete my nursing prerequisites, I noticed several things. First there are an increasing number of adults returning to school and a lack of information available that addresses many of our needs. Second, Nursing school is extremely competitive and hard to get into even though the need for good nurses is through the roof. So this blog is primarily devoted to nursing students but may be helpful to any student really. Occasionally I throw in tidbits about politics and nutrition.
I love feedback so please comment often, and if you ever have questions, let me know I am always looking for new topics to post about.
Thank you for reading,
Corinne

Just wanting to express appreciation for this interesting blog
I shall certainly delve deeper in the future
Corinne,
You are brilliant! I’m so impressed with your compilation of information. I sent the link to my daughter. I really like how your mind works. I brought your cake decorating kit to work with me. Stop by any time. Take care…Patsy
Hey Corinne – Good stuff. Keep up the good work! g
Corinne,
Good luck in school, Nursing school is tough.I’m finished in a few weeks and it was nothing like I thought it would be, big time stress.
Hi Corinne,
I remember you mentioned that you had a really good child care provider for your daughter when she was a baby. My daughter is looking for someone in PA for her baby starting in Sept. Just two days per week. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks…Patsy
