1. Break up during school

   studentnurse5694 replied to Nicoleashley's topic in General Students

   Treat yourself like the boss that you are! You managed to get into nursing school (congrats!) and while he may have been a great supporter, YOU are the one who did the work to get there. You earned this for yourself and are taking a huge step in bett...

2. How long does it take to get ADN including prerequisites, on average?

   studentnurse5694 replied to rachelkelllyy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I cant speak for the average, but it took me one full year, full time (summer, fall and spring semester) to complete my non-nursing courses and this fall I will start my two year ADN program! I will now start my program with nothing other than nursin...

3. Nursing School Clinical Hours???

   studentnurse5694 replied to LubbDubb77's topic in General Students

   It will depend on your school, as others have mentioned. My school has two 6 hour clinical days a week and may be asking for volunteers to take just one 12 hour clinical per week. I am planning on volunteering! I have two children and daycare has bee...

   studentnurse5694 replied to studentnurse5694's topic in General Students

   Thank you all so much for your input. Your words mean more than I can say, especially to this overthinking woman! I haven't made my final decision but I think its likely I will put my "prereq" work behind me and move forward working towards a stellar...

5. When to actually start nursing classes?

   studentnurse5694 replied to HeatherG1123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took three full time semesters (summer 17, Fall 17, Spring 18) to complete all of my non-nursing courses. I do still have two (micro and public speaking) that I will not have completed. Those I plan to take next summer between year one and two of m...

6. What would you do?

   studentnurse5694 posted a topic in General Students

   I am not going to ask what I should do, because how would you know?! Given this scenario though, I am curious to know what you would do: You're 29 years old, returning to school for nursing in the fall. About 10 years ago you started school for busin...

10. Returning to School

    studentnurse5694 posted a topic in General Students

    I am due to start my program in the fall. I am nearly 30, have two children and have worked full time in a high pressure sales environment for the past 7 years. My weekdays have consisted of very little besides working 8 hours a day, commuting betwee...

11. Not sure about financial aid

    studentnurse5694 replied to misstusk's topic in General Students

    I would encourage you to do the appeal. I had to return to school to pursue my degree in business about 5 years ago after some health issues. I am sure that it varies by school but my experience was easy as could be, although it sounded scary. Basica...
