3. I don't know what to do!

   FutureRN1908 replied to Wiggles806's topic in Pre-Nursing

   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...

4. First day of BIOLOGY

   FutureRN1908 replied to iwillbanurse08's topic in Pre-Nursing

   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!

5. How did you decide on what type of nurse you wanted to be?

   FutureRN1908 replied to CaringForLind's topic in Pre-Nursing

   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...

6. College & Motherhood

   FutureRN1908 replied to katesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing

   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...

   FutureRN1908 replied to AllisonLP's topic in Washington DC

   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 taking General Chemistry starting on the January 24th. I haven't taken any chemistry since 1997. Yikes!

    FutureRN1908 replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing

    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...

12. How many sciences should I take at once?

    FutureRN1908 replied to FutureRN1908's topic in Pre-Nursing

    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...
