3. Pathophysiology online?!?!

   Beckylydon replied to Beckylydon's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's been a challenging semester taking this class online. I kind of wish I hadn't! I also learn best in the classroom setting. But, I do love the material. I think I would have been stronger connections though if I hadn't been an online class. I als...

   Beckylydon replied to Beckylydon's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I finished with a B. It was the hardest B I've ever earned! There's no going back now. But, I may need to retake it to get into a nursing program. I'm pretty close to finding out. Hope you made it through with an A!

   Does anyone have experience with this?? I am currently taking Patho online at a community college (I will also enter their nursing program next year). They don't even offer it in person. But, I feel unsure about taking this class online. There's so m...

8. Class, clinicals, study time & family...how do you manage your time?

   Beckylydon replied to Beckylydon's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi Farrah, I can DEFINITELY postpone the second baby. It's just a matter of our kids having a three year age gap or a six year age gap. It's silly, right?! It doesn't really matter. My siblings and I are all fairly close in age and I guess I'm just w...

9. Class, clinicals, study time & family...how do you manage your time?

   Beckylydon replied to Beckylydon's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks for all of this detail! I'm trying to wrap my head around what life will actually look like. I have also had it in my head that once I start the program I won't be able to work. The hard thing about that is that I really don't know when that w...

    Beckylydon replied to Beckylydon's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yes! I appreciate all of this advice. I have decided to power through. I am definitely concerned but I am going to continue to go to every open lab (which have been very helpful). And, I'm going to go to office hrs every week. I'm hoping that I do qu...

    Beckylydon posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm so torn. I currently have a BA in Psychology. It's been 9 years since I've graduated. Regardless of the route I choose, I will have to complete all of my science prerequisites since I previously only took Geology and cop out science classes. I wa...

14. How far out from applying are you?

    Beckylydon replied to Applejack's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have just decided to go for it! It's hard now that I've made the decision because I just want to quit my jobs and focus full time in school. Unfortunately, I have a 15 month old at home and a mortgage to pay! So, I plan to start my prerequisites th...
