   lucymcgillicuddy78 replied to Guest371144's topic in Correctional

   I love how this thread has been active since 2009!!! I was not thinking of correctional nursing as an option for me but after reading all the comments and seeing how supportive everyone is with one another, I may start to consider it.

   I totally understand about being wait listed. The waiting part is the hardest. MSMU is expensive but at least you will get your BSN and get it over with. Thank you so much for your kind words. Best of luck to you as well, you will be an awesome nurs...

   Thanks for replying Congratulations on going to MSMU, that's a good school. Unfortunately, working part-time at my job is not an option. My husband understands how difficult it will be for both of us and he supports me 100% in my schooling. But you ...

   Nursing program, to go or not to go?

   lucymcgillicuddy78 replied to lucymcgillicuddy78's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Unfortunately, I am not able to study during work hours. If I do cut back on my hours, I run the risk of being one of the first to be let go when layoffs happen. Also most nursing schools are mon-fri all day and sometimes even on the weekends. I am n...

   Nursing program, to go or not to go?

   lucymcgillicuddy78 replied to lucymcgillicuddy78's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I did call the school to ask about deferring a semester but I was told that they don't offer that. Which I understand since they do have a high volume of students who apply each semester.

   Thank you so much. :) I do see that it is a small price to pay for a career that will pay off in the future. I am currently working in an office job and I think I may be able to stay here and work part time. I may have to look into some loans and se...

   I would hate to pass it up especially after all the hard work I put into my pre req's to get here. Part time at my job is considered 20 hrs a week. I was thinking of trying that out and see how I feel about it.

    Hi there, thank you for your reply. I got into an ADN program which costs about $7000 for the two years. I work for the City of Los Angeles so the benefits and pay is pretty good. We have also though about moving into a cheaper apartment but my mom a...

    Getting accepted into a nursing program was my goal and now that i have been, i'm not so excited. I thought I was prepared but I feel that I'm not. For one, I work full time and leaving my job would be a huge hardship on my family. Second, I have two...
