1. Jobs while in school??

   2btxnurse1972 replied to wbrantle's topic in Pre-Nursing

   As many of you have said, I'm in the same boat!! I am applying next month to hopefully start the nursing program in the Fall. I started back taking prereqs and core classes in 2005 and I hadn't had any schooling since I graduated high school in 1990....

2. Hi all-I'm new

   2btxnurse1972 replied to life_aknew's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Welcome to allnurses.com. I have been on for over a year I think and have found this site a great place to ask questions and just have the needed support that you may not get from home. I am 35 years old and started taking classes at night (I have ...

3. Just Took The Hesi

   2btxnurse1972 replied to angelgreg's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, I got an 81 last semester when I took the HESI. I will be taking it again this month, hoping to bring my grade up to a high 80. I wouldn't say that a 83 or 84 is bad. My school does a point system, so the better you do on the HESI the more l...

6. Student Loans for people over 35

   2btxnurse1972 replied to 2btxnurse1972's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Ya, I guess I need to look at that as well. I wonder what happens if you are currently a full time employee making decent money, but plan on quitting once I am accepted into nursing school. I don't want to apply in January and then not get the mone...

7. Brookhaven nursing program points

   2btxnurse1972 replied to coolpeach's topic in Texas

   My understanding is that 30 is competitive. For example: The 21-30 range was for the admittance into Mountain View College which runs off the Brookhaven Nursing program for the last application period. I think Brookhaven may be a little higher then t...

8. Brookhaven nursing program points

   2btxnurse1972 replied to coolpeach's topic in Texas

   That question was brought up at the last nursing discussion group for Brookhaven. I was told it varies from application period to application period. But that 21 on the low end and 30+ on the high end, is the range to be in. I'm shooting for 30 or...

9. HESI A2 Test in Dallas County (Brookhaven)

   2btxnurse1972 replied to tmcdaniel's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Ditto to all! I'm taking this month (or next depedending on timing) at Brookhaven as well. I will deny acceptance though if I get in this semester. I was told that you must complete both pathophysiology and dosage/calc by at least your first semes...

10. Student Loans for people over 35

    2btxnurse1972 replied to 2btxnurse1972's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Does the government send the money straight to the school? If so, how do you pay your living expenses? I'm confident that once I am accepted that I can get one of the local hospitals to cover my school cost as long as I sign a contract with them. ...

    2btxnurse1972 replied to sitesonRN's topic in General Students

    Josh and Mysterious One, Thank you so much! I'm working with my company now to determine if I can stay part-time (as they are an 8-5 M-F kind of company) to at least supplement my income. I think I can get the pay I need to at least stock pile in ...

    2btxnurse1972 replied to sitesonRN's topic in General Students

    Hey Guys and Gals! I need your help! I know I have posted to this forum a few times, but I need some direction more than ever. The last week I have been in tears every day trying to figure out how in the heck I'm going to do this. After talking t...

    2btxnurse1972 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    So, I was going to apply for the nursing program this Fall. I went and talked to the advisor and they told me there is a new rule. If you have not taken Patho or Dosage/Calculations then you must complete them during your first semester of nursing ...
