   Good, sound, practical advice. Thank you. Tell your son this, from one guy to another: There were some "selfish" reasons I had that made nursing personally appealing: Despite my frustration at the moment, as soon as I get 1-2 years experience, I ...

   Thanks to all for the replies. I'd like to respond individually, but I fear that would make this post longer than my first post, lol. My main concern is that I can't seem to get noticed by anyone. I didn't mean to come across as conceited and/or tout...

   Thanks for the support. I've been taking a couple of days to myself to try and collect myself. So far, I'm leaning heavily toward taking Kaplan. Also, someone sent me a PM, but I cannot respond to it. PM me your email address and maybe I can help. B...

   I just graduated this past May of 2010. I'm a 34yo guy and this is my second bachelors degree. My nursing school GPA was a 3.67. I made the Dean's List twice, the President's Honor List once, inducted into STTI, and I would have graduated with honors...
