1. Holy cow! My book total is how much?!

   aknapp8 replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

   My total was $1235 for the semester, and that included used books when I could use them. It hurts!

2. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

   aknapp8 replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School Programs

   I have no idea what's in the technology bundle- I just know I have to buy one!

3. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

   aknapp8 replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School Programs

   Yeah, I'm okay with the technology bundle. Ours is about 650, but it takes us through the whole program. Expensive yes, but not outrageous once you divide it out.

4. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

   aknapp8 replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School Programs

   I found most of my books on amazon too! Except for one we have to purchase through the school as part of our "technology bundle". I hear my school used to bundle ALL of the books and you bought one giant $1200 box of books for the whole program. This...

5. Education pathways for someone with previous BS

   aknapp8 replied to dutchie000's topic in General Students

   I'm in the same boat- I have a prior BS in a completely unrelated field. Because you qualify for little to no financial aid with a prior BS, I've decided to go the community college route. I continued to work full time in my current field while takin...

6. Pre Nursing Student Help

   aknapp8 replied to sgeorge1746's topic in General Students

   It's not ideal, but it is possible. I had been thinking about nursing school for a while, but not too seriously. Some events (the very tragic death of a friend of mine and, 2 weeks later, the death of my mother from cancer) pushed me to finally do it...

   aknapp8 replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School Programs

   Hi everyone! I start in august, finishing up my last prereq now- thought I was done but one class I thought was covered by my bachelor's wasn't. I wish our bookstore would tell us the books we need already! I'm afraid I'm going to have to buy them ne...

8. Where's my planner nerds at?!

   aknapp8 replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

   I looked at what felt like every planner out there and settled on the Plum Paper Planner. I liked all the layout options, and I really wanted an hourly layout, which they offer. I feel like the hourly layout will be helpful in keeping work and school...

9. Is nursing your second career???

   aknapp8 replied to anicole285's topic in General Students

   Nursing will be my second career also. I'm 32 and have been working in human resources for nearly 10 years. Because my prior bachelor's mama I don't qualify for financial aid, I've decided to go the adn route and then do a bachelor's completion progr...

10. Don’t believe anything they tell you!!!!

    aknapp8 replied to NorCalKid's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I needed this today. Done with prereqs and accepted for the fall. I've had the opposite experience, where everyone has told me how great they think I'll be as a nurse. I appreciate that immensely, but as we all know, we're our own worst critics. I've...
