1. Do They Think I'm Old?

   andrews_mommy replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

   This gives me hope. I'm 44 and have yet to even take my Accupser CPT for possible remedial classes! I can see that I'll be closer to 48 or so by the time I'm an RN. One can only hope that we can be well into our 70s and still be working! I know a wom...

2. "non declared" major to start

   andrews_mommy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   So I just passed the 1/31 deadline for fall admissions. I was unsure what route to take. Upon speaking with a few people, as well as an admissions advisor commenting about this, I may have decided to "go for it". The thought of a "non-declared major"...

3. Is nursing school REALLY that hard?

   andrews_mommy replied to Courtney M's topic in General Students

5. Bad Weather--Hospitals could care less about your safety

   andrews_mommy replied to Jory's topic in General Nursing

   I can honestly say... I look forward to being a nurse! I grew up in Canada in a big snow area and learned how to drive in it regardless of the conditions. I can drive ANYTHING in bad weather! Nothing stops me.

6. pre student???

   andrews_mommy replied to andrews_mommy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm currently doing a LOT of research! Great YouTube videos on biology basics. That and I was always very good at math. I sent an inquiry email off to admissions which was for career counseling. I'm going to follow that up with a call of sorts to see...

7. pre student???

   andrews_mommy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I thought I saw something about a "pre student" forum here. Yes, i'm interested in nursing. I'm part of the older crowd looking in. Forty four and I have a bit of an uphill battle here. Nothing about high school is going to matter. I'm a very differe...
