I have read your threads. Not to be discouraging, but if you are lacking in education, you need to forget nursing school for right now and focus on getting what you missed. I am currently in the Southwest nursing program. Don't let the fact that it is a 2 yr community college fool you. It is hard and takes a lot of work!!! I have 2 bachelor's degrees and have to work hard just to get a low B. Only half of my Foundations class passed. Not one person in any of my classes have gotten A's. You need algebra, pharmacology, anatomy, physiology, and microbiology skills.

I hope that you eventually get to where you want to be but for right now it sounds like you need a lot of remedial education before you can even take the classes you need to GET IN nursing school.

(FYI - Southwest does have an online program but it is for LPN's or respiratory therapists. Not regular students.)

Jennthern has me scared! I have applied for the Spring 2010 term. I feel like I am confident and intelligent but I have to admit after reading that I am shaking a little! Keep your fingers crossed for me! jenn
