I absolutely love this thread! I am in the same boat as you but much older (will be 35 in August). I am going back and forth so much because I am getting my bachelors in Accounting right now. My heart is in nursing but my current boss, coworkers and ...

Love this idea!!! I always feel like no one else is attempting nursing at my age and everyone is straight out of high school. This is a great support system!
Hi all! I need help! I originally started out wanting to be a nurse after my daughter was in the NICU when she was 3 weeks old. The nurses really made a huge difference in how I ever perceived them. Right then I made my choice! Well fast forward to 7...

Me and my significant other have been together for 13 years, we have 3 kids (7,5 and 2). I'm currently taking my last pre-req before applying to nursing school (micro ) and it seems like this semester has been the hardest on us. I quit my job in June...
I'm debating between taking both classes together in one semester or just taking one this semester and waiting till Spring to take the other. Anyone taken these together and succeeded?
I'm wondering what majority schools tend to look at more when choosing candidates for the program. Does the overall gpa or science gpa have more importance?

Good luck hun!! I'm in a similar boat, I messed up my gpa gopfing off pre kids and now that I have them, becoming a nurse and having a fullfilling career means more then anything to me! I got laid off at the end of June and to be honest it was a bles...

That is so amazing to hear! Coming from a fellow low gpa person I feel so much more hope that I will still be able to achieve my dream if I just work my butt off to raise my gpa!
