  2. Work during Nursing School

    I start my nursing program in the fall. I have to work full-time (single mom). Currently I work overnight with a 7on/7off schedule which I'm hoping will make things run smoothly when it comes to studying, clinicals, etc. Good Luck!!!
  3. General Ed class grades!!

    Don't believe that would affect your chances. I got accepted into my Fall 2018 nursing program. I did get a C in A&P 1 however which was the only C I've ever gotten. Good Luck
  4. Bills and nursing school

    I will be starting nursing in the Fall. I work full time overnight and have 2 kids. I'll technically be considered part-time (credit wise) when I start school because I did all my other non nursing classes before applying to the program so just clini...
  5. Failed A&P 1... idk what to do

    Sorry to hear about your grade. You should try and find out what was your weak points during the class. Also if you do decide to go to another school just make sure you are aware of the requirements. The school I attend doesn't accept anything lower ...
  6. Can I succeed in nursing school with no previous medical experience?

    Hello I work in an emergency room doing patient registrations. Besides just working in a hospital I really have no medical knowledge except for what I see and hear. Most of the nurses have told me that it doesn't matter whether you have a medical bac...
  7. C grade determine capability

    Does getting C's in A&P 1 and 2 determine how good you will do in nursing. I have a friend that I met in school while doing prerequisites. We both got into the nursing program for next semester. She's starting to doubt herself on if she's capable...

    I believe my study habits is my issue which I'm working on. I guess if she finds out what her issues were she could probably figure out a solution to help
  9. Question about previous degrees

    Depends on the school that you're applying to. At the school I applied to they go by a point system so there was a lot of ways to get points. you did get specific points depending on if you had a previous bachelors or associates degree. Good Luck
  10. running out of options to start nursing school

    Are there any programs around you that offer night or weekend classes. That might be something to look into as an option
  11. How far away is your school?

    My school is 5 minutes from me. I was so happy when I got into the nursing program speaking that it was the only one I could apply to. There was a few other choices in the area about 45 minutes t an hour away but I knew that it would be a problem get...

  13. I don't think I'm smart enough

    So I was so excited when I found out that I got excepted into my nursing program for Fall 2018 even though I had my doubts. I'm just finishing up A&P 2 this semester. I got a C in A&P 1 but I feel like I'm doing a little better in A&P 2. ...

  16. How long should prereqs take?

    Hello. Not sure how your community college works but I assumed it would go by how many classes you're willing to take per semester and which classes you would be taking. There are some classes that you can't take first without taking something else. ...
  17. Am I too old to start?

    Hello. I just got accepted into a nursing program and I'm 33. I used to think that same thing before I started thinking about going back to school but I have been around quite a few nurses that are from all age groups!! Good luck
