Hey everyone! I'm Sam--I'm 25 years old and going through a divorce after spending the last 5 years as an Air Force wife. I just started nursing school and am now trying to focus on myself. I have a lot of weight to lose and could really use some motivation and support.
My current stats are--- 5'1 and 221 lbs. Can't wait to meet some awesome people :)

    hi Sam, good for you! I've been an RN for 24 yrs. Taught in a BSN program at Auburn university, in critical care. Nursing school is tough but worth the effort!

    I survived nursing school (assoc RN). Managed to keep a 4.0, but I think I traded a little bit of my sanity in exchange. Feel free to friend me. I'm always good if you need to vent/cry/scream...

    Hello, I'm Grace =) New RN graduate who just moved back home to California. I'm 26yrs, 5'2, wanting to lose 30lbs. I just started MyFitnessPal and I absolutely love it! Support, encouragement, sharing info, and progress are great motivators! I'm on my 11th day so far but haven't missed a day of diet and exercise I'm trying to be more involved in the myfitnesspal community b/c seeing ppl's progresses helps motivate me! I love sharing and receiving fitness and diet tips as well.

    Open to new MyFitnessPal friends! Let's support one another! =)

    Be Happy. Be Healthy. Be Kind. 2013!

    Hello to everyone! I am on my 4th semester in college right now and am aiming at being able to apply for the Nursing Program this fall. I have already done my CNA 1 class, and now am on my last pre-requisite for the program. I also have to complete the TEAS test (Test of Essential Academic Skills) and at least score a 58% on it. Wish me well and cross any body part that you can cross for me so that I can ace the test in April. :)

    Hey! I am Jess, and I am an RN in the ER. Working 10 years of nights shifts has screwed up my metabolism, and the stress of nursing is a whole other ball game for me. Lets just say, as nurses,we take care of everyone else and often forget about ourselves. I am just starting out and hopeful! Good luck in school!
