It's West Shore Community College in Scottville, MI

Just a little Community College hidden among farms in Northern MI, but they have a great reputation. I have quite a drive to get there, but I consider it worth it to get a good education. But are they tough!! They have an adjusted grading scale that's very tough, and quite a number of people have to retake some classes to get a passing grade. In our first test, if we spelled ANYTHING wrong, it was wrong. One poor guy spelled reservior wrong, and he missed the entire detailed question.

Hi, I am new to AllNurses.com and I love it. I am beginning my first quarter of six quarters in 12 days. :uhoh3: I am anxious, nervous and very excited. I am 29 years old (at least for another 6 weeks) I have 2 kids. My son is 12 and my daughter 3. I would love to chat with someone in a similar situation. WE live in Portland, Oregon and I am attending Clark College in Vancouver WA.

Yeah class of 2007 :balloons:

I intend to work a weekend program and take a full load of classes.
Allnurses is quickly becoming a daily necessity!!:balloons:

Kayel,

Nice to meet you "fellow October person". I am going through a ADN program and hope to transfer to Washington State Univ. to complete the BSN. Well see, after I start working I don't know if I will feel like continuing on. Are you in school still or are you a real "RN" now?

Jatonna,

Don't give up on your dreams. "If you can dream it begin it" Goethe Although you have already began, there is always a way to finish. Before you know it you will be an RN and you and your kids will be very proud of your accomplishment. :yelclap: Stay strong. Keep posting.

Hi. My name is Janice. I am 30, married, and the mother of three. I started nursing school this August. I am feeling a little overwhelmed by it all, but know the effort is going to pay off in the end.

Nope, I'm brand new in pre-nursing! I have my B.Ed. degree from 20 years ago (ugh LOL) and am now working towards a BN. Sounds like you're on the right track! Have fun when you start class next (next) week!!! Hope to talk to you again soon.
