maaaannnnnn mann man....is it just me or does it seem like we got a long road ahead of us?? shout out to my sister who just graduated nursing school and already landed a job. I, however, am still working on pre-reqs, got like 6 or 7 left after this spring semester, and then the real fun begins!! lol. anyways im just ranting and rambling but to all my fellow students out there, keep up the good work, dont get lazy, and keep your eyes on your goals!! much love
I was accepted into my school with 2 outstanding prereqs - Chem II & Microbiology. I just had to sign a prereq credit agreement form to say that I guarantee I will finish these 2 classes before September 5, 2012 (first day of nursing school!), and my acceptance can be rescinded if I don't complete or fail either of these classes. Every school is different, though, so you should probably check with the admissions department.
i just want the remaining semesters to go well academically! i will be practicing my math and algebra this summer. i find khanacademy.org to be the most beneficial website for me to learn. it's nice that a person can watch a video 1,000 times (may be exaggerating there! lol) in order to grasp a concept, although the day would be gone before we know it!
I could have written this post. I have three kids, so right now I can only take one night class at a time. I just registered for my summer semester (A&P II), so it is my fourth semester since starting pre-reqs. Finding Nemo's Dori saying, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming," goes through my mind when I feel this way. I will have one more class after this summer and can apply for the 2-year waiting list after that. I just have to keep reminding myself that this is something I have wanted for a long time and I am blessed enough to be able to finally do it. The glass needs to be half full! Good luck with your summer classes!

I feel like I was the one that wrote this! I have two kids, work full time and a hubby that is away A LOT! Still chugging along though! It's so hard to keep motivated. I honestly come here when I'm feeling low and like I'm never going to get there. It doesn't help that I pretty much wasted a full year and a half on classes that will take me no where thanks to a not so awesome counselor. Now I'm on the right path, I'm trying to stay positive. I'm taking it slow trying to keep my grades high, and this summer I'll be taking three classes. I figure its a shorter period of time, a bit more intense but that's three more classes off of my list!
Keep at it everyone!!
