    Working part time while going to school and with a family

    araew2129 replied to beba609's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the PP, it'll probably a great step for you and make school that much easier if you can financially swing

    Just knocking down pre-reqs

    araew2129 replied to NillaWafers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go slower if you are worried about making sure you're grades are high. I was originally registered to finish so we but made the hard decision to take fewer classes at a time to give myself the best...

    What 3 classes should i take together?

    araew2129 replied to sfwant2beRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd probably take anatomy and physiology together because they are taught together at my school anyway. I am taking A &P along with chem. Nutrition was very easy for me. I took it over the summer...

    Just knocking down pre-reqs

    araew2129 replied to NillaWafers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nutrition is a pretty easy class. I just did that one over summer and really wish I had taken something else like medical terminology (not required but I think it would be helpful) along with it...

    What should I do?

    araew2129 replied to Pundaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look at back-up schools and see what their prereqs for nursing are. That way if you need to go to another school you can make sure you've taken the correct prereqs. They should transfer to other...

    Have major anxiety, depression, don't really enjoy science... am I crazy for applying?

    araew2129 replied to AlwaysThinking's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to be honest, reading your post I couldn't see a draw to nursing specifically as much as having a career that involves helping. As several people mentioned, social work immediately popped in my...

    What should I do?

    araew2129 replied to Pundaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It would be best to look for a 2 year program if that is the path you want to take. Start at the local community college. It is unlikely that you can do one year of a 4 year program and then finish a...

    ELMSN/ MEPN using only last 60 units?

    araew2129 replied to winglesswonder's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will be applying to the MEPN program at the University of Arizona. They go by your last 60 and prerequisite GPAs, as well a HESI exam and interview. The prerequisite GPA is most heavily

    How to finish all prereq

    araew2129 replied to Liannebp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am doing the same thing. I went back to the community college I attended 15 years ago for my associates. I had them reactivate my student account. Then went through and gave me "permission" to...

    Accelerated BSN Versus Accelerated MSN - California

    araew2129 replied to siesepuede's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The draw to entry-level master's programs like MEPN for me are the fact that I will be eligible for financial aid/loans. That is not the case for a second bachelor's degree for

    Is 61 too old to start Pre-Nursing?

    araew2129 replied to Kikzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What about completing a LPN program and working in LTC? I agree with others that a lot depends on your own abilities and intentions, so this is perhaps a question only you can answer. But there are...

    St. Joseph - Carondelet

    araew2129 replied to daxdagr8t's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Curious as to how you are liking it at St Joe's? And I think I remember that you were relocating... how's that going too? Are you liking

    Completely Green - Should I Begin My Nursing Career in LPN?

    araew2129 replied to WildcatMLS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am also changing careers to nursing and do plan in applying to the MEPN program at the UA. One thing I will point out is that it is neither quick nor cheap. Sure it is a 15 month program, but it...

    Confused on app to nursing schools!!!!

    araew2129 replied to professionalsnacker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For the school I am applying to, the BSN hopefuls can have up to 2 prereqs in progress and must finish them while maintaining GPA within the semester of applying. For the MEPN hopefuls (this is me)...

    Trying to get BSN after BA , No$$

    When you say that you've been denied for loans, is that in reference to fed student loans or private

    do my BSN out east, then work in Bay Area - unrealistic?

    araew2129 replied to Priority53's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe callioterr3 meant saving up for the move during that first year of working as an RN while staying with family... That's what my advice would be

    Background checks

    araew2129 replied to DeeDEE0905's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may be able to get the warrant quashed if you call and handle it. It won't just go away so it's best to contact the issuing jurisdiction and deal with

    How many hours would you work taking 14 credits?

    araew2129 replied to Skippy97's topic in General Students

    When I got my first undergrad degree I took a similar course load each semester (sometimes only 3 classes at time), worked about 20 hours per week, interned 6 hours per week and was a single parent to...

    Help!!!

    araew2129 replied to Melisa Galaviz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking those 2 classes together in the fall and also not working. I think it will be totally doable but I do plan to spend 2-3 hours at school in the labs studying Mon-Thurs on top of the time in...

    A&P course

    araew2129 replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm... not too sure about nerves. We just did skeletal and had to learn all of the bones but not necessarily all the processes or foramens for example. My teacher said he teaches the particular parts...

    A&P course

    araew2129 replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Which parts are not being taught? My A&PI class did not teach the cellular level because it has a prereq of a lower Bio class that taught it. Also, there are certain systems we learn in A&PI...

    Pharm., Fundamentals, and 2 sciences

    araew2129 replied to I think I can...'s topic in General Students

    I can't answer as to these specific classes but can tell you that I think if you are already worried it will be too much, you may just be right. I have 7 prereqs to complete in order to apply to the...

    Significance of Humanities courses in Nursing

    araew2129 replied to Sam101's topic in General Students

    Definitely this. As someone who has a degree in social work and worked in that field for 10 years now, I can't tell you how invaluable it is to understand how people work. And not just in my career...

    I just want to let it out....

    araew2129 replied to xxbeatrix's topic in General Students

    Don't start if you aren't sure you want to enter nursing. Dropping out may effect you later if you do decide to pursue nursing. It's great to spend time really getting to know yourself and develop...

    Pursuing RN with a Non-Nursing Bachelor's Degree

    araew2129 replied to MiiSzAshley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, it is true that you can continue to borrow up to the maximum for another bachelor's! My first set of loans are close enough to the maximum that it wouldn't help much as CEP for an ADN/BSN runs...
