I've done that. SO NOT FUN!

FOR ME it will be 3 years. But that's because I didn't know I'd be accepted into the ADN program, so I was taking pre requs (sciences & psych) to apply to BSN programs as well. Under normal circumstances, in my program, you can do it in 2 years...

FYI - if the straps are falling down you probably have the wrong size. Go to a REAL bra store (not victoria's) and have a real fitting. Then buy what you can afford and is comfortable to you.

Particularly if you're only prepared to go as far as a Bachelor's degree. A BA in Social Work is kind of like a BA/BS in Psychology - not terribly useful unless you get more education. Social work is a very noble profession, but choose it with purp...

Please know that a Bachelors in Social Work isn't really enough to do much that will pay enough to be 'financially stable' if you're on your own. The more advanced social work jobs require a Masters Degree. My husband was a social worker with a Bac...

totally normal :) You'll be fine (and btw, I'm in that same boat of not feeling 'safe')

Teaching others is an EXCELLENT way to help you cement your learning! For A&P 1&2 I paired up with a student who was struggling. I 'got it' and our study sessions were basically me teaching it to him. I had to come up with different ways t...

If you REALLY want to do nursing, then you'll need to retake it. You know that. If you can, retaking it at a Community College will be less expensive. It probably won't be any easier, and you may have a REALLY hard time getting in NOW (since I think...

Same here! And even though we WERE a 2 income family, we're NOW a single income family making under 100k in a Medium COL area. It's crazy how it ends up working out ...

Never mind. Reading fail. I'm sorry, that stinks. Can you ask for feedback on why you didn't get in?

I know you've convinced yourself that no used car is worthwhile, and what I'm going to say won't convince you otherwise. However there ARE a number of used cars that are very reliable. We bought a 4 year old Honda van with about 90k miles for less t...

Eh, it wasn't too much for me, I took 14 credit hours last semester, but then I'm married, haven't moved in 2 years, and my kids are getting bigger (and can almost do most stuff for themselves). A&P 2 and Micro were tough together, but for differ...

The same thing happened to me at my alma matter. The reason, at least in my case, was because my school 'had enough undergrad interest in the program so they didn't need to accept transfer students'. Yeah. So what am I doing? Working around it. I...

So if it's anatomy, you'll be examining the physical structure of the body. So you'll probably look at a variety of prepared tissue slides to see the difference in the types of tissue, you'll probably also look at the brain, the eye, a kidney, a whol...

I also took 2 psych classes (child dev & adult dev) and got A's in those as well. I think it depends on how serious you are and how much other, non flexible, stuff you have going on outside school. It helps to know HOW you study/learn best. FWI...

Yes, got A's in both. Micro is more facts, Physiology is more processes. Not a ton of studying for Micro, a TON of studying for A&P (a ton, particularly in the last 8 weeks when I would study about 6-10hrs per week depending on if there was a t...

I think you're on the right track. May I ask if English is your first language? There are a few places where phrasing isn't exactly typical. I would suggest that you take this to your school's writing clinic! They can offer a LOT of assistance with...

So there's two things - first - yes I did ok in my math classes. And second, no, pre-calc/calculus wasn't required for any of the schools I was able to apply to (within reasonable driving distance). I did get A's/B's in Algebra & Geometry and A's...

I would appeal, though I would not expect it to come out in my favor. The handbook doesn't specifically state NO rounding and it doesn't say what they'll do about the .5 - .99 range. I would ask for clarification in light of my situation. ETA: I woul...

FYI the pension, while nice, isn't huge! It's 1% of the average of your highest 3 (years of salary) if you are less than 62 years old or have less than 20 years of service when you leave, for each year of service. It's 1.1% of the average of your hig...

28 is not 'old' to have a baby. I'm entering nursing school in August as a 40 yr old with 2 kids (7&3), and *I'm* worried about how it's all going to pan out. PERSONALLY, I would wait until after school and however long you need to wait to quali...

Heck, if you google it, you'll find that this exact question has been answered *here* several times .

O2 admin was answered - room air has about 21% oxygen... so yeah he's not 'on oxygen' as in he has no tube to his nose, but if he's breathing, it's room air. If he's not breathing you've got bigger problems! That said, I'm interested in the high PCo...

I mean, it CAN be done. I'm doing A&P2 with Micro now, and it's hard, but not impossible. I did Chem & A&P1 last semester, that was easier because I had both previously (but years ago).

this isn't a place for medical advice, she should see her doctor.
