[manna]

Hey yall!

Just wondering if there are any of us out there still working on pre-reqs - hopeful nursing graduates of 2006?

Roll call! :)

I'm the 26yo mama of two boys (5yrs and 18mos). I work FT right now and am taking my pre-reqs at night. Hoping to get into a BSN program and start my nursing core/clinicals in fall 2004!

Oh yeah... and here in Finland we are not required to take pre-reqs so this is all college that I'll have to take to attain a BSN degree... uh it's hard to explain when the whole schooling system is so different... :)

Hi Ada! I'm on a mailing list for moms with kids born in 1998 and one of my friends there is from Finland! It's always fascinating to about thing's from another culture's perspective! :)

I am 29 a mother of 2 daughters 10 and 8 work full time and school at night. I will be

taking my A&P1 and pscy starting Aug 25th..I'm already nervous just thinking about it. The books are very scary. the pressure knowing that I really need an A don't help much. Good luck to us all

What kind of work do you do?

I'm sure you'll do fine with A&P, just stay on top of it! Plus I imagine there are many of us here who've taken it before, so if you need any help you know where to ask! :)

Yeah, sounds like you were working yourself to death!

Did your wife end up taking that night job? It's nice to have a second income, but it's tough working all day and keeping kids all night. Well, at least my kids who seem to be able to survive on the smallest amount of sleep imaginable. LOL

Yeah she's working at wal-mart at night now. Thats hard on me now cause i have to exclusively watch the kids.

I am also a 2006 hopeful!!! I am married with three sons from age 5-15!!! Less see I am just finishing up my prereqs now and start clinicals on May 25. Wow that's less than a week away!!!! I am working towards my BSN and this will be my sophmore year so that leaves me with six semesters of left. If all goes well I will be finished in May 2006. That's my story. Best of luck to all!!!!!!

Class of 2006 here!

I'm still in the process of completing prereqs for a BSN program. I should enter the nursing program in Fall of 2004! I'm not sure which school I'll be attending then, but I'm applying to about 5. See you guys around!

[manna, BSN, RN]

So what classes are you guys taking this fall?

Chem, Geography, Art appreciation and American Lit here. Not too thrilled about them in general, since I'm a bigger fan of science and math than this general ed/humanities stuff.

All the BSN programs here are soooooooooooo impacted, that that is why everyone does the RN separate here in S. CA

I should be class be class of 2006. After I take Physio this fall they HAVE to let me in Fall of '04. I have a BA in Sociology from 1985, but that won't help me as far as a BSN. So I will start the BSN to MSN when my kids get a bit older.

I've got 2 kids, a husb, a dog and cat. I'm 41~~yes I know........OLD! hee hee

Hi! I am 19 years old and I am a sophmore enrolled full time at my local CC working on my pre-reqs. Starting August 18 I will be taking A&P I, College Algebra, World Civ. II, Intro to Soc., and Developmental Psych. Now that I am actually typing it out it actually seems like a lot more work than it really is. At least I hope not

[LeesieBug]

Looks like there will be A LOT of us with big grins on our faces in 2006!

I am also part of the class of 2006. I'll be starting my first nursing courses August 25. This will be my sophmore year of a BSN program. We had our orientation on the 8th, which made me so excited to start schoool I am about to burst!

I am 31....married mother of three (2 boys age 12, and a daughter, 7)....don't work outside the home, thank the lord! (of course, since I don't work we can plan on being poor for three more years:rolleyes: )

My line-up for fall includes: Fundamentals of Nursing, Professional Role Development, Statistics, and Effective Oral Communication (I guess they don't want to scare us by calling that one what it really is...SPEECH)

GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!
