Congrats!

I'm non-traditional. I'm 36, married mom of two girls - that I homeschool (and plan to continue to homeschool). I've got three more semesters until I apply for nursing school (I'm also working on an associate's degree). School starts on Monday and I just bought my books (ouch).

Good luck to everyone this semester!

Thanks! And good luck to you. You have a lot on your plate.

How are you going to homeschool through nursing school? I homeschool my first grader and we homeschooled for kindergarten but i do not know how I will manage if i get accepted next year. I would love to continue but do not know its doable.

My kids are a bit older, which means a lot more of our learning is independent now. I also am part of a co-op that meets twice a week and luckily one of my friends help me put together curriculum, so that helps a lot. Right now all but one of my classes are online, so it's pretty easy to balance. But when I hit nursing school it's going to be a challenge!

Last semester was a bit of a challenge, so we used an online program that did most of the work for me. It was a lifesaver. It's called Time 4 Learning - you may want to give it a shot.

Good luck! I'm around if you need to chat :)

Oh my gosh, I got accepted to my local ADN nursing program! I applied with a 4.0 and a 98 HESI, and even though I realize those are good scores, I wasn't going to believe it until I saw my acceptance letter :) I start next semester in January so I'm still plugging away at those BSN pre-reqs before things get REALLY crazy. Send advice! And energy lol!

How's everyone holding up? I have periods where I feel like I'm losing my mind and then I have days like today where things feel under control and I have time to make posts on the internet :p
