<p>any nursing people here??</p>
<p>hi there!
my name's Kristin and i'm going into Nursing too.
Are you going to the Penn nursing days march 31- april 1?
hope to see you there!</p>
<p>hey! yup im going to the previews on the 31st-1st, so i guess ill see you there!! Where are you from?</p>
<p>i used to live in eastern PA, like 20 min. away from Philadelphia, but we moved awhile ago and now i'm in NW indiana ( luckily its pretty close to chicago!). But all of my relatives are still out east so it'll be nice to live close to them again. It's crazy how this whole college process has worked out for me, because i wasnt originally planning to apply to Penn at all. i knew that it was a great school, but i was thinking about going to an in-state christian college, and then my aunt, who did grad work at penn in nursing, thought i should at least apply there. My dad always thought Penn was the best school in the country ( he's a little biased : ) ), so he encouraged me, and my mom who's nurse-and so she's always reading about penn in nursing magazines- was all for it. figured why not dream big and so i filled out the application. I fell in love with the school when i visited for my interview and, beween talking to Marianne Smith, Mariesa (a student), and taking a tour, i was sold.<br>
Penn prepares students to be leaders in healthcare, and not just staff nurses(which is a good career too but thats not all that i'm looking for) and that convinced me that this would be a perfect school for me. I definatley wasn't expecting to get in though, because i know the competition and the calibar of students that are admitted, but i was and so here i am! I'm really anxious now though for next year (or at least for senior year to be over and for summer to come) so it's going to be hard to concentrate for the next few months!
So how about you Stacyee? where are you from? what are your hobbies? Why did you decide on Penn? do you have an idea what kind of nursing you might specialize in? (im thinking maybe pediatric oncology right now)
Hope to see you in a couple weeks! : )
Take care!</p>
<p>haha, i see that you're from south florida, so you guess you don't have to answer that question! I went to key largo the summer after my freshman year on a marine biology program, and it was SOOO gorgeous. We went scuba diving for a week and the reefs were AMAZING. The last day we drove to key west and that was great too. i also went to FL a couple years ago over spring break to sarasota to stay with an aunt and uncle and then we went to disneyworld : )
Its a great state!</p>
<p>Hey I cant write that much b/c i haveto do some work ( why am I still caring about school lol) but yeah I am from South Florida, and do not have a tan lol. I def. need to lay out everyday before Penn so people arent like why are you from Florida and you are whiter than me? Anyways, I have been wanting to go to Penn for the past few years and have always known that I want to do something in the health field, and when I researched Penn's nursing program I realized that it would be great for me.. So right now im thinking about being a pediatric nurse practitioner or a nurse anesthesist. We will see what happens lol.. Kay hw time.. ttyl!</p>
