I work full-time, but sometimes over, and I currently have 7 credit hours. Staying afloat for me has been very tough. I believe it all depends on your combined obligations as well. I have a family, and I am very family oriented. I am commited to all the roles that I have which makes it even more difficult for me. Next semester I intend on taking about 9 credit hours, but I would not even consider taking more than that if I want to be successful.

I work at a VA. A social worker from my unit agreed to help. Try a nurse or your manager at work??
Good Luck!

(My wonderful husband said he wanted to see me AWAKE sometimes, LOL!!! Next semester I want to carry 12 hours as well as clinical. If there is a 9 month accelerated program, bring it on!! WHere did you hear about it?????
I also am very family oriented (8 grandchildren) 1 son at home in college and active in our church.

Have a great day,
Kathleen

Armynurse and Denroc72,

Have both of you guys been accepted and are already in the program?
If so, what nursing classes have you had?

Thanks, Brenda

Hi everyone

Congrats to everyone who finished and got applications in for Spring! I did not manage to get all of my pre-reqs done; I ran into the same problem some other people had regarding the Computer Systems CLEP. I passed it, but my score wasn't 65 or higher. ISU wouldn't accept it. So now I am working on getting the rest of my tests done, taking my time to study for them since I have more time now! I will be there in Fall 2010, looking foward to getting going!!
