   happymommyx4 replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing

   PS...The school I am attending charges no extra for online courses. Tuition is $85/hour for in-state. My transcripts will not show whether I took the course online or not, only the course number and my grade. I selected this school over some other lo...

   happymommyx4 replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Actually, I have found plenty of reputable schools that offer the labs online too. I know, that is crazy isn't it!? When I took anatomy back in 1995 I spent the lab time knee deep in cadavers and holding my nose so I cannot imagine doing anatomy onl...

   happymommyx4 replied to happymommyx4's topic in Florida

   Oh, you made me laugh! Yes that is exactly it! My kids talk about what they want to be when they grow up and I am still trying to figure it out! I have friends who also went to Andrews or M-Tec (the top MT schools) and make well over $20 per hour as ...

4. Two-Year Service Obligation for Nurses Age 42-60

   happymommyx4 replied to Faeriewand's topic in Government

   Some of the information in this thread is not correct. You need to talk to a recruiter if you're interested and not rely on what any of us think we know. I say that because regulations, especially in regard to enlistment, changes as often as I change...

5. SPC and HCC --Questions

   happymommyx4 replied to happymommyx4's topic in Florida

   I think that I have decided to enroll in the HIM program at SPC. I am not at all pleased with the bizarre rules of the Florida colleges and universities. Fortunately, we only have to live here until the Army says it is time to move along. Of course, ...

6. LPN Programs in Tampa Area

   happymommyx4 replied to happymommyx4's topic in Florida

   Thank you so much for your reply and the information! After reading more about the job and education of an LPN, I don't think that it is for me. I haven't made that decision firmly yet though. I called an LPN program in my home state and the advisor ...

7. LPN Programs in Tampa Area

   happymommyx4 posted a topic in Florida

   Beyond the questions I posted about HCC and SPC, I was hoping you might share any knowledge you have of LPN programs in the Tampa area. I am unable to commute terribly far at the present time. I live on MacDill AFB and have not found many LPN program...

   Hello Everyone, I am what you would call a non-traditional student. I will be 33 this year. I have 4 young children and I am the proud wife of a soldier. Life can be hectic at times. My husband is often gone more than he is home, but I am use to it...

9. Just finished on-line intermediate algebra prereq. Anyone taken online course?

   happymommyx4 replied to Student InNJ's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Oh, I HATE online courses. I just completed a 2-year program online and found that I lacked the self-discipline for online learning at first. Of course, that has now changed and I have gained the skills needed to excel in online learning. It is truly...

    happymommyx4 replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have selected a college that is at least 20 more minute of driving than my initial choice because this school offers everything online and is accredited and well established. I hope that I am making the right choice. When I say "everything," of cou...

    My children are 10,9,5, and 3. My husband is a great help but he is deployed frequently. My family is all 2K+ miles away. All I can say is that where there is a will, there is ALWAYS a way. I refuse to use daycare, it is a 4-letter word in my house. ...
