Stacey30, do you remember what you said for the first critical thinking question? I think I have my answer but I guess I'm not really sure what they want to hear or what not :-) Any help from anyone else would be appreciated to the first question: W...

I just got accepted to a BSN program. I don't know definite times for classes, as we do not find out our schedule until Nursing orientation 3 days before the semester starts (kinda weird). But I emailed the assistant director and we will be doing cla...
Wow it sounds like you've had quite a ride. In my opinion, I say go for it. I don't have the background like you do (no children, no degree yet) but it sounds like, for right now, that nursing school would be the best option. And by the sounds of you...
I had high school chemistry (10th grade). If you take chem, and start the basics, then take the TEAS test while you are in chem, I think you will be fine. I never took chem in college for nursing school and the TEAS test was still confusing on the ch...

Science classes matter most, in the end. If you are neck and neck with another student about to be accepted, they will look at science grades for the final answer. I got maybe 2 C's in my gen. ed classes and the rest A's and B's in sciences and math ...

I find it so funny that once you get accepted, all you want to do is stuff for nursing and stuff to start school. I got accepted for Fall too and it starts in mid-August... therefore I have over 2 months. I want to start NOW but I need to realize tha...

Yeah and when I said about being "older" I meant like over 50 older. A woman I used to work with was going back to school for her RN and she was 52. And she would make a GREAT nurse. I sit and pout on how everyone I graduated high school with have t...
