1. Should I take Developmental Psychology online or in class?

   bethcny replied to CedarGirl10's topic in General Students

   I vote online, as long as you are comfortable writing quite a bit. I took it that way and it was an easy A. Good luck!!

2. Pre-Nursing student taking Sociology online?

   bethcny replied to Anaya96's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took Sociology over the winter intersession. I had to stay disciplined, but if you are comfortable writing a lot, it's a breeze. Definitely scope out where you take it, and figure out how the class is presented - and find one that works best with y...

3. Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

   bethcny replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I feel like I always comment on these threads, probably because I'm in the same boat-ish. I'm 45, I have a previous BA in another area. I'm applying now for September entrance. I'm currently taking Microbiology and I'm the oldest person in the room -...

4. How old is everyone?

   bethcny replied to PrereqTaker89's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know your post wasn't directed at me, but I wanted to say: GO FOR IT! I'll be 47 when I finish, but I'll be 47 whether I do it or not, right? I also have a previous Bachelor's degree and many of those classes carried over for the ADN. I'll be pursu...

5. Teas 6 Test This Thursday

   bethcny replied to KadijahRn's topic in TEAS

   I just took the TEAS V today. I did not find it all that difficult, but was completely stressed about the math. In the end, helping my 12-year-old son with his math homework was probably the most helpful thing I've done, in terms of preparation. The ...

6. How old is everyone?

   Move over, Grandma!! Hahahaha! I'm 45, applied for September entry into ASN. I already have a Bachelor's in Economics.

7. Professor forgot to grade 8 assignments!

   bethcny replied to yajaira21's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would definitely move up the chain of the command, but politely. It's important that you get things moving.

8. What to do with a bf who just wants me for my degree

   bethcny replied to mstaurus2016's topic in General Students

   Buh bye now. He's got to go. You're doing great things for you and your future - he sounds like the kind of guy that will suck the life out of you - financially and emotionally.

9. Career changers - is it worth the change?

   bethcny replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, I'm 45 and hope to enter nursing school in the Fall of 2017. Doing my pre-reqs now. I agree with the poster who essentially said "I'll be 47 eventually, might as well be 47 with my RN." This is what I've wanted to do for years - this is what ...

10. On-line classes

    bethcny replied to ErikaD360's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Well, I just finished my first all online class - Developmental Life-Span Psych - got an A!! I'm a strong writer, which definitely made all the difference. Just started an accelerated Sociology 101 - whole semester in one month - so far, so good. Ho...

11. Homemaker to RN @ 40

    bethcny replied to LuKeeU's topic in General Students

    I'll be 47 when I graduate with my RN. 40 seems so...young! So, heck no, you're not too old!

12. Am I too old????

    bethcny replied to Roxy Simms's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm 45. I'll be 47 when I earn my RN. I sure hope you're not too old...because then I'm ancient. The time is going to go by anyway - might as well do what you want with it! Best of luck to you!!

13. I feel incomplete

    bethcny replied to sameishafate's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I can only agree with the sentiments mentioned above: regret gets you nowhere. I'm 45 and headed back to earn my nursing degree. I could waste time regretting decisions I made, but they make me who I am today. Carry on, and you'll be fine. It certai...

14. On-line classes

    bethcny replied to ErikaD360's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I can tell you from the perspective of someone who has never taken an online course before: it isn't too bad. I'm currently taking Life-Span Psychology online and Chemistry in person. Our grades are based exclusively on writing skills - so if you're ...

15. What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

    bethcny replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hey all - I'm re-taking Chemistry and taking Life Span Psychology online. I took (and passed) Chem I & II during my undergraduate - but it was too long ago - I had to re-take it. I'm jealous of you guys going to school full-time - I'm only taking...
