  1. Single Mom starting January 2017

    I am scheduled to start my 4 prerequisite courses online through Keiser University. I am not 100% positive how the core nursing courses work, but I have heard that it is one-two at a time, but with a full time schedule (M-F from 8am-5pm) which defin...
  2. Single Mom starting January 2017

    Hello!! Well....I have been pondering going into nursing since I graduated high school but chose a different route due to my mother being sick....that was in 2000. But it has been something I have wanted to do for so long that I am ready to take a ...
  3. Single mom in nursing school...

    I am a single mother (separated) of 2, a 10 year old and a 20 month old. I am starting my prerequisites this summer, I only have 4 to take so it shouldn't take me that long. I hope to apply to an RN program next year. I am worried as I am the brea...

  5. I want to be an RN soooo bad!!!!

    How long did it take you to complete? Sometimes I feel that I am too old to be starting over again LOL. But I have read that there are all age ranges of nursing students so I have a feeling I will be ok :-)
  6. I want to be an RN soooo bad!!!!

    Thank you!!! Sometimes it really does help to hear others opinions as when you are the one in the situation it is hard to think outside the box. I always thought nursing would be impossible with 2 children, working, etc. But seeing that others hav...

    Thank you!!! I am so excited to get started and move forward. I did some research..I believe to be enrolled in 2 schools would require being a "transient" student at the 2nd school. If anyone has heard of a different way please let me know :-) Thi...
  8. I want to be an RN soooo bad!!!!

    Thank you for all your comments, suggestions, and most of all honesty. I have decided to go after my dream of nursing, but do it here in sunny Florida. I have decided to start my prerequisites (slowly) and at a pace that will introduce me back to g...

    Yes I want to get it up for sure. Do you know how I would go about starting my prerequisites at a different school? One close to my home now? I understand that a student cant enroll at two different schools. Id really like to take my prerequisites h...

    I haven't started yet....but years ago when I obtained my first AAS it was around 3.4. I have to take all the prerequisites other than english and probably college algebra. So hopefully I can get it up some.

    One question I had- can I do my prerequisites at Santa Fe here in Gainesville and then apply to the nursing program? Of course, if the credits will transfer.

    Hello all. I am just starting my prerequisites and hope to apply next year. I have 2 children and will be relocating from the Gainesville area for school. This thread was/is a great idea!!!!
  13. I want to be an RN soooo bad!!!!

    Thank you :) I did shadow an RT last year and fell in love with thr entire hospital atmosphere. I was allowed to watch a few procedures and tour/shadow the ICU and children's ED. It was great!!!! I have this huge desire to help people, to make a ch...
  14. I want to be an RN soooo bad!!!!

    He does work a part time job...but that's his spending money. I work full time, pay the bills, raise the kids, etc. Its not ideal at all...but to keep the peace I keep my mouth shut. I've talked. I was taking online classes for a respiratory therapy...
  15. I want to be an RN soooo bad!!!!

    Ella26- honestly....probably not. He has his family and ties here in Florida. Our relationship is not a healthy one but it does push me to try to do better for my kids and show them that anything is possible with hard work and determination.
