  1. What to do-BSN or job first?

    Thanks for the info. Was tuition reimbursement a factor for
  2. I just started ADN and am looking towards BSN. I have a BA so BSN would take less time. I'm wondering if after graduation if it's better to immediately continue to the BSN or start interviewing for...
  3. Endocrine System

    Watch or listen to the mentioned videos over and over. It's about repetition and sometimes hearing the same material presented in different ways helps you better understand it. I also like AK Lectures...
  4. Need help with degree plan!

    Yes that's the important question. Each program has it's own prereqs and they can vary depending on the school. This also applies to BSN programs so, even if you think you know the BSN program you...
  5. Taking A&P 1 and Intro to Chem together?

    Have you taken biology in high school? Yes it's doable but if the answer is 'no' I wouldn't advise that course load. Heavy and intense and, since it's your freshman year, get adjusted to college life...
  6. Since absn programs are quite expensive, have you thought about going a different route? Like getting the ADN first and then bridging with a BSN-RN online program? You may finish a little later, or...

  10. Which program

    Yes. This is the route I'm taking as well after researching the BSN programs. It's going to save a lot of money and I'll be able to start my ADN program sooner since it requires less prereqs than the...
  11. Agreed! I would take the prerequisite courses that would cost the least and go from there. Remember you're still young...even at 29 in case it doesn't work out. I am going into my second career at 53...
  12. Intro to Bio and A&P1

    I wouldn't waste the money to take bio unless it's needed. I agree with the above post to watch youtube vids to familiarize yourself with the subject. It's the one thing that saved me when I took API....
  13. Terrified!!!

    Hi, I am also 53 and will begin my ADN program in January. I took a year to complete the necessary prerequisite courses and went for it! I will be 55 when I graduate and plan on working for at least...
