If you're 40, you probably have more working years ahead of you than you do behind you... I say GO FOR IT!!! You have nothing to lose, and so much to gain in terms of career options as you get older. As far as paying for the program goes, many employ...
You could put an anonymous note in your teacher's mailbox that says "make sure to keep an eye on so-and-so when we're grading our next test." Then you can feel better knowing that you've brought the issue to your instructor's attention without tattli...
Could it be possible that, instead of "consoling", the op meant to use the word, "counseling" or "consulting"? Since there seems to be a grammatical problem with the sentence, it may be a question of semantics. Anyway, people are being pretty harsh w...

From one second-career nurse-wannabe to another, hello! Some of your questions have been already answered, but here's my two cents! From the academic background you've described, it doesn't seem like you would have any problem getting into and succee...
FYI for anyone who is worried about the chemistry section of the test: it is very general; I almost killed myself completing my chemistry pre-reqs but got 100% on that section on the TEAS... If you are worried about that section (and any other secti...
Do not freak out! Go to this link http://www.testprepreview.com/teas_practice.htm and do the FREE practice tests. They will give you a good idea of what to expect on the TEAS test, as well as help pinpoint areas you need to work on before you take t...
Follow this link and do the practice tests (no charge!!!!). I did each of them at least once, just to make sure I had the background info (especially for the math & grammar sections). I found the practice tests to be more difficult than the actua...
YOU hit the nail on the head, motorcycle mama!!!!! The following link calculates how much you pay in interest - and how long it will take you to pay off your credit card - if you make minimum payments only. SCARY!!!!! http://www.webwinder.com/ww_dis...
Hello there - I am not any kind of a nurse yet, but as a newer mom who read every available resource on natural childbirth, and whose childbirth classes supported medication-free births and meditation as a pain-management tool (not hypnotism per se, ...
Earlier this summer, before I took the TEAS test, I used the link suggested by txmommyof3 above. It had been 15+ years since I had taken math, chemistry and physical science, and the individual skill sections at this site were a great review tool. W...
Hello - I am waiting on acceptance to an ABSN program (should hear in a few weeks), and although I'm sure they'll fill me in on all the gory details when/if I get in, I can't wait to find out what it's going to be like! If you, or anyone you know, a...
The ADN program at the CC where I'm taking BSN prereqs does not require any chemistry. I think this is unusual, though. My BSN program requires 2 semesters of General Chemistry w/lab; a total of 10 credits. Some schools require one semester, some wi...
Something to think about - if you are paying for school on your own, or with loans, once you get your initial bachelor's degree, your financial aid options decline significantly!!! I know I never thought much about the financial aspect of college whe...

I've been in situations where my lab partners have not wanted to do any work, or just wanted to watch me do everything. Sometimes it was because they were afraid of screwing up, sometimes they were just lazy. Whatever the reason, in those situations,...
