Hey Kev21,

If you don't stop talking about being old I'll ban you from this site [J/K]

Seriously, I would like to continue the warm welcome offered by Cougarnurse. I admire your anticipation of getting started with your nursing studies. Just channel this energy towards an open mind, endless questions, and desire to never stop learning & caring.

BTW, love the avatar pic. My youngest son [24 yrs old] plays intramural college rugby whenever he can find the time.

Please, post often & do visit the Male Mursing Forum section, too!
