1. Any older students??

   WillLeads2Way replied to KristinaW's topic in General Students

   Kinda in your shoes (read your other posts about concerns with family time). I hope to start the nursing program at 28 years old Fall 2013. I've been married for a year now and will hopefully finish the nursing program when I'm 30. Then I want to wo...

2. Howard University Spring/Summer 2013

   WillLeads2Way replied to Blacksapphire 18's topic in Washington DC

   Please Please double check the status of your application; even if this means getting someone on the phone or going there in person to walk through your application. I am not/have not applied to Howard's nursing program, but I applied to another he...

3. Online Organic Chemistry

   WillLeads2Way replied to strife317's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Don't know if you're asking about a specific school (I look at postings under "what's new") but I would strongly recommend not taking it online unless you're great at chemistry. I was a bio major in college and remember this being my most challengin...

4. Application Denied!

   WillLeads2Way replied to Shellie81's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Your grades are good. You probably didn't get in because it's an evening program, which is very competitive. I'd say your best bet is to apply to a regular RN program (with day time classes) and cut back your work a few hours. I'm also a career chan...

5. Are people less likely to congratulate older or younger students for getting into RN?

   WillLeads2Way replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing

   WOW. It's good to know I'm not alone. Hopefully, I will be 28 when I start my RN program. I'm one of those 2nd career changers too. I wanted to do nursing back when I was in undergrad school but my family members are the ones who talked me out of it ...

6. RN-MSN? (no BSN)--bad move?!

   WillLeads2Way replied to health care analyst's topic in NP Students

   I have the same question. I think people may be misinterpreting the person's post. She's asking if RN experience (will take years) + her current Masters will make her a candidate for a nurse manager in the future. Sounds like she's planning ahead. ...

7. Current NVCC Nursing Student-Can you help me understand?

   WillLeads2Way replied to WillLeads2Way's topic in Virginia

   Thank you so much!!! Now I understand. Well that gives me a little hope--the fact that there's one group that has Saturdays. I'm hoping I can find a younger college student who doesn't want her clinicals on a Saturday. (I'm a 3rd degree seeking stud...

8. Current NVCC Nursing Student-Can you help me understand?

   WillLeads2Way posted a topic in Virginia

   Hi all, I'm trying to understand the nursing school schedule to plan ahead. I still need to make an appt with a counselor. For NUR 111, I looked up the Fall 2012 schedule so I can plan ahead: NUR 111 LEC - Mondays - 12:30pm-6pm (does this mean you'r...

9. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

   WillLeads2Way replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Wow didn't realize how long it's been since I've been on this board. Well my final is next Monday. It was a good semester! I expect an A in A&P I but I feel like an A+ is possible. Our prof gives extra credit and I got over a 100 on the past exam...

10. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    WillLeads2Way replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I had my first exam on Monday. I think that I did well. I want to second china graves point...it's all memorization. I'm kinda familiar with these type of classes and study routines (bio background) but i'm sure everyone can do it! I find it very h...

11. A NVCC math class to prepare for TEAS or is study guide enough?

    WillLeads2Way replied to WillLeads2Way's topic in Virginia

    Thanks so much! You are answering all of my questions :)

12. NAs 161 or BIO 141 at NVCC?

    WillLeads2Way replied to WillLeads2Way's topic in Virginia

    Thanks for the feedback. I have micro, chem, and a bunch of other bios from my previous Biology degree from Mason. One of the accelerated programs I applied to in the area (plan is NVCC but applied anyway) doesnt take 141/142 but accepts NAS 161/162....

13. Nursing as Second Career: Would like your advice...

    WillLeads2Way replied to eclinicgal's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm in a similar situation as you (already have BS and MS in another field). I say go straight for the BSN if you can. My issue is all but one of the schools in the DC area are expensive so I'm taking the long route: ADN then RN-BSN program. Best wi...

    WillLeads2Way replied to WillLeads2Way's topic in Virginia

    oh okay. Thank you!

15. A NVCC math class to prepare for TEAS or is study guide enough?

    WillLeads2Way posted a topic in Virginia

    I've taken statistics, finance, and accounting in undergrad and grad school but haven't had algebra since maybe high school. Needless to say, I'm a little worried about the math section of the TEAS and probably need a refresher. In general, I'm dece...
