You have plenty of time to decide on a career. I've been out of college for 5 years and I decided to change careers and go back to school for Nursing. If you want to be a nursing major in college you will need to make sure you have taken math and s...

My first day of Bio is next Tuesday, but I had my first chem class today. As long as you stay on top of the reading and ask questions if something doesn't click you should be fine. You should shoot for an A!

Yeah, I think you can have your mind set on something....but then complete clinical rotations and decide on something completely different. My sister didn't even want to work in a hospital setting originally, but then after she did her rotations she...

I totally feel you with this dilemma. It's just part of being a mom. You have to prioritize and reorganize so you can find time to pursue your goals. Try again summer session and use this semester to try to work with your husband to figure out a w...

If you live in Maryland it's probably better to have a car. Especially with kids. The Metro is easy to get to, but sometimes they're not within walking distance. And think of the winter months when you won't want to be on foot. Living in DC would b...

I'm looking to start with A&P I in the spring even though registration isn't for another month or so. I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to take it alone or with another class. I am so scared. This will be my first class toward my prerequi...

I am in a similar situation, except I'm married and have a little one. I'm 28 with a liberal arts degree. I've been working in health insurance since I graduated in 2001. I plan to start my prereqs in the spring. I don't have a lot of student loan ...

Thanks for all of the advice. I think I might start out with just 1 lab science and human development for the first semester and see how things work for me. My family is about an hour and a half from us so I won't get a lot of outside help. I pl...
I'm planning on starting my prerequisites in the spring and I decided to go full time in order to apply to BSN programs as soon as possible. The classes I need to take are A&P 1 and 2, Micro, Chem., Human Development, and maybe stats. How many...
Hey I just wanted to hear from some of you that work while taking prerequisites. How do you balance family, house work and studying? How many classes could you take each semester:uhoh3: while working full time?
