1. I'm old and I need my RN ASAP

   Dancinagain replied to Vivy's topic in General Students

   Just to clarify - do you already have a bachelor's degree? If so you can probably do an accelerated program. I know the one here at Hopkins is a 13 month program, very stressful, but at least you're done in a year.

2. Evening/Weekend RN programs

   Dancinagain posted a topic in Maryland

   So far, I only know of one college that has an evening/weekend program - CCBC - Essex. Anyone know of any others? Just curious. I'm attending Essex right now for my pre-reqs, but still want to keep my options open when it's time to apply for nursi...

   If anyone needs a refresher on the chemistry part, I'm so glad I bought the book "An Introduction to Chemistry for Biology Students" . It's really helping me a lot. It's a workbook that takes you step by step through all the atoms, molecules, neutr...

   Dancinagain replied to butterfly135's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Ahhh! This is harder than I thought it was going to be! Lots of Chemistry is involved in molecular biology and it's been way too long since my last chemistry class. I feel like I'm so far behind and it's only the 3rd week. Anyone else?

   Dancinagain replied to irenefly99's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Most science courses have labs and yes the lab manuals are important to follow the labs. I have biology this semester and went to get my manual yesterday (the class starts today). Why wouldn't you buy what you need?

8. Any older people in pre-nursing?

   Dancinagain replied to Dancinagain's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Doesn't this bug you though? I did a group project with a few youngsters over the summer and they were not focused at all. I ended up doing most of the work. I'd love to be able to do labs on my own.

9. Can you work full time and go to rn school???

   Dancinagain replied to Stestime's topic in Pre-Nursing

   We have a evening/weekend program here, but when I apply I'm taking advantage of a program here at work (I work for a hospital) where I can go to school and work part time but still retain my full time benefits and salary. It's a huge benefit and wa...

10. Any older people in pre-nursing?

    Dancinagain replied to Dancinagain's topic in Pre-Nursing

    YAY for us! I think the only person that has NOT questioned my return to school is my fabulous partner of 8 years. Despite all the questions and doubts like "...at YOUR AGE??? (how many of us have heard that one?) We still persevere and go for it. ...

    :yeah:Yayy! But you took the first step and registered to do it! I know exactly what you're going through but in my case it's been 17 years. I was the oldest one in my Psych class over the summer (including the teacher :imbar). I was struck by ho...

    Dancinagain replied to JoshuaC's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Definitely look on Amazon.com for your textbooks. I also sell the ones I have used and make some money that way:yeah:. If you put the ISBN number in, you will be sure that you are getting the right edition. Also don't forget Barnes & Noble. ...

    I'm taking Biology 110 - Cell & Molecular Biology. I start on August 26. Next WEEK! I'm excited and nervous, but at least it's the only class I'm taking and I can give it my full attention. It's been longer for me. I haven't been in a college...

    Dancinagain replied to c+k=<3's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm 42 and just starting back myself. I have 3 years before I even start nursing school. Do you feel old and unable to learn? Probably not. It's never too late. I'm a vegetarian myself and I hear ya about the dissections, but like a friend of mine...
