  1. Finished pre-reqs....now the waiting game begins!

    Grand Rapids, MI. There is a huge medical system and lots of medical stuff going on here. There are 4 major hospital systems in the area that are constantly growing...so nursing and other med careers are what everyone is going to school for. So we...
  2. Elementary Kids Took ME Down!

    Hope you are feeling better quickly! It seems to be a terrible year for that kind of thing. My son's kindergarten class has been passing things back and forth since the start of Fall. Nasty, barking coughs that last for a few weeks, strep that wo...
  3. Finished pre-reqs....now the waiting game begins!

    Good job ladies! I am playing the waiting game! Have been for 3 yrs. I am on the waitlist....and where I live it is 3-5 years! So in the meantime I have gotten my Associates in Health Information Management and am a semester away from my Bachelor...
  4. You would have to look into your states requirements and the hospital you want to work for.....but I think it's something you should definitely look into. Get some experience in healthcare. There are plenty of places that don't 'require' certificati...

  8. A&P 1

    It genuinely depends on you as a student. I took it and got an A...but I like science, studied my butt off, and didn't ever let myself get behind or miss a class. It is definitely the kind of class where your grade reflects the effort you put in. ...
  9. Should I retake Biology?

    Agree with earlier posts...it really depends on your final grade and the retake policy. If it's a B grade and you can only retake a few classes, it isn't really worth it to retake biology [with a decent grade] and quite possibly be out of luck if yo...
  10. Tough decision, must be made my tomorrow

    Agree with this... If you can afford to be out of work, and for who knows how long, then wait on the dream job. If you can't afford to be out of work...take the sure thing! GL!
  11. nursing program with 2 little ones. realistic?

    Totally doable! Like other people have said, it's going to be quite the balancing act, but completely doable if you are prepared. ...and so worth it! We have crazy, long waitlists where I live [5 yrs]...so I am just now getting ready to enter my nu...
