Prereqs

I work full time and starting slow for now. I have 18 credits from 15 years ago. I am taking Bio I & lab now (Summer II) Then A&P, English II & Sociology in the fall. Two are internet, so that help on not being gone every night in school.

I started taking my pre-reqs in 2005 while working full time, and am also a married mother of two. I took one or two classes at a time and managed to make mostly A's. I do suggest to take your A&P classes by themselves without other classes if you can help it. I started nursing school in 2007 and will be graduated this time next year hopefully! By the way, I did cut back to part time working after starting nursing school last fall. Yes, the financial aid and student loans help! Best wishes to you! You can do it!

I've done the work full time, go to school full time thing before...I'm going to TRY it again...IF my grades are suffering I'll cut back my hours. I'm going to try to work 4 days a week and if that isn't working cut back to 3 and just keep cutting back until I find some sort of balance...The difference this time is I have a child...I worked 5 days a week before...I just am going in with a different attitude...Before I was paying class by class so work came first, because I needed money to take classes...NOW though, I realize student loans can be taken out plus I'll have a free ride financial aide wise (my EFC is 0)...ALSO if I fail then I'm stuck being a CNA, I like CNA work don't get me wrong, and I DO realize CNA's are the backbone of my LTC facility and there are people who've been doing it forever...BUT not me!

I also did my pre-reqs 2 at a time so I could get As because I wasn't going to cut back on my hours at work. Good luck.
