I'm in a similar situation...My husband is in the Navy and we'll be moving right after I graduate with my Anthropology degree...He will be changing jobs so we won't know where we're moving until right before thus I won't be able to apply to any nursi...

I have the same fear but only because I'm afraid I'm going to jab the needle into their muscle and not the vein :) I've had to be given IVs in my neck so I'm not afraid to be stuck, I just don't want to hurt someone else. I'm sure you'll do fine tho...

As with any class I'm sure a lot depends on the instructor...Mine was so concerned with organization it became a joke...Everything was labeled with our table color, then what side of the table we were on, then what drawer our supplies were stored in,...

I will either work or volunteer in the medical field to gain experience...Maybe have a baby...It's two years away for me and with a military husband anything can change.

Don't lie...Own up to your past and you'll be a better person for it...I hate the thought of someone lying and taking the place of a person who actually got good grades and deserves a spot in the program. We all wish we could go back and make better ...

Hi Indecisive! Don't feel like you've wasted any time or are getting a late start...I'm 29 and have been going to college off and on for 11 years...I won't be a nurse until I'm 32 and that's if I don't have to wait to get into a program. I've been to...

I was working full-time when I took Chem, Developmental Psych, and some other random class...I got an A in all three so it's not impossible to work and get good grades...Chem isn't my strongest subject, either, so I had to work pretty hard for that A...

I actually thought about doing something like this but the classes would conflict with my anthropology classes...I've looked into phlebotomy and nursing assistant and they conflicted as well...Maybe they'll have something next summer that I can take....

I'm going for an RN, accelerated BSN. Do either of your programs require volunteer or paid experience? One of the programs where we might end up requires this and I'm struggling figuring out what to do and what would qualify.

I guess you could call me a pre-nursing student :) I'm working on an Anthropology degree and then I will go into a nursing program (hopefully). My husband is in the military so my path is not as straight as others. I've taken Chem, Micro, and Develop...

I never thought that I would want to be a nurse...I didn't want to go through all the schooling and work weird hours...but as I've gotten older I've realized that it's a great profession where I can make a difference and feel fulfilled...I've taken a...

I took Psych online and it was fairly easy...Two discussion questions and a quiz each week plus a research paper...Like the poster above said, it depends entirely on your professor.
