At my school micro was by far the easiest pre-req. I don't think anyone dropped (but I took it in summer so the semester was only 4 weeks). But my school has A&P I as a pre-req for micro so maybe...

Thanks Kimsey

I start the nursing program "proper" at my school in Jan. So I can't say what, if any, semester in nursing school is the weed out one. However, my A&P I instructor said that he was the "gate...

You husband probably doesn't have any idea what you do, I know I didn't. However, he will learn. Give him time to learn it his way. I was in a similar (but worse) situation that your husband....

Same here.

Great story, very similar to mine. I have a 20 year old BA degree with a less than stellar GPA. But I did very well on the TEAS and the Critical Thinking Skills test my school makes all nursing...

I applied to only one, but applied twice. I was denied the first time, probably because I had no grade for A&P I, or II or Micro. I reapplied after taking (and making A's) in these classes and...

When I have classes that require application type understanding (as opposed to rote memorization) I find doing practice problems helpful. Study the material until you think you have a good grasp on...

Each state has different requirements, however, in my state, the state run psych hospitals do not require any training or experience to work as a med tech (CNA type work). I know because my last job...

Can you post the highlights? Our camp is the first week of Jan. Even though I am sure the bridge camp will be much different than our camp. Thanks!

My A & P professor (known for very hard questions) would go for option #2.

Exactly! You can't really fake caring (which is why I put "fake it" in quotes) I genuinely care for people, which is why I am going into nursing. But you can roll play being outgoing and "warm and...

Since you are still in HS, I recommend taking drama classes in college or even just participating in drama activity. Drama has really helped me to come out of my shell, and to "fake it" when I don't...

I am just a nursing student. BUT before I was a nursing student, I was in HR, and most of the work I did in HR was in employee relations, and a good deal of that was in a hospital (it was working...

My guess is the reason for the harsh reaction is the "falsification of medical records" accusation. Prior to going to nursing school, I was in hospital HR. Falsifying records was one of the few...

I start Nursing school in January, after a year of prereqs, and I turn 46 next week. It won't be easy, but if you want it bad it enough it will be worth it. I just pray that I want it as bad when I...

That is me. I am fairly quite and don't particularly like small talk or low level social interaction. However, my previous career in HR required me to interact with people all across the spectrum...

What/??? I'm 45 and start my first semester of Nursing School in January (by which time I will be 46). You young whipper snappers with your crazy ideas. ;)

I start an ADN program in January. Counting the days. :D

Well said. I am just a student Nurse. I have't even started Nursing School (just got accepted to start Jan. :woot:) However..... prior to being a student nurse I worked in a hospital HR office. ...

Same here. :wavey:

w00t. That just made my day. I start nursing school in Jan, but I already have a BA..... in Philosophy.....with a minor in psychology. :D

Who told you that? Before I was a nursing student, I worked in a hospital HR (it was that job that gave me the nursing bug, and loosing that job was one of the best things that ever happened to me)....

I start this Spring too! I am stoked!!!!

I want to be you...... I'm 45 now, just finished my prereqs and will start Nursing School in Jan. (by then I will be 46), and hope to eventually get my MSN. :D To the original poster: I got...
