About cwr923

After serving 4 yrs in the AF, and many, many years in the banking field I decided it was time to determine what I wanted to be "when I grew up". I became a PCA to see if I thought nursing was for me, eventually becoming a PCE. March will make 2 years, and I love it! Who would have ever thought? If only I knew when I was 18... Anyway, I started taking pre-reqs and will start nursing school this spring! So excited and scared at the same time. Gotta get this party started sometime - might as well be now! : )

    . How long was orientation? Can any older editions of the books be used or did they encourage the bundle only? Is class 5 days a week or will we have time to work? Estimate of 1st semester cost? Thanks! Sorry, I guess I have a ton of questions....
