I am a returning Student at Bergen Community College and I just sat down with my counselor discussing my options into getting in the Evening Nursing Program. I have been out of school for a while having a 2.8 GPA I need to take 3-4 classes by the end of summer keeping nothing lower than a 3.0 GPA in each class. The classes are Math (okay not so bad), :no: A&P I, A&P II, and Chemistry 101.. I work from 7am till 6pm in order to pay for school and my home and plan on going to school at night. I am so nervous and so happy to finally start. After those classes I need to apply for Nursing in Oct. 2009 for Sring 2010 - :zzzzz Take the nursing entrance exam all while taking Microbiology and an Elective.. Then I'll be done with all my pre-requisites by the time Nursing classes actually begin. I just hope I can stay focused and still have time to dedicate to studies. I want this so bad, but I am afraid as well. I hear it is so hard to get a job once you graduate, but I'll remain optimistic. I want to be an Acute Care RN and would love to work at Chilton Memorial Hospital or St. Joseph's Hospital in Wayne... Ohh this is just me ranting I have my fingers crossed!! >
