  1. How long should prereqs take?

    monkeyshines replied to taurnxkd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a prior bachelors, so I had a handful of credits transfer over already. So I have to take 7 classes before I can enroll in the nursing program, 3 sciences and 4 softer classes. Just gotta...

  2. How do I work study and be a mom full time

    monkeyshines replied to billiepw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agree with the others, I would consider pursuing different programs than an ABSN. I looked at that option, but I couldn't make that kind of a commitment, both financial and timewise. I have a toddler...

  3. A&P 2 Disaster!!!!

    monkeyshines replied to jasj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you self-teach using online videos? I've found Crash Course and Khan academy to be super helpful. Drop it if you feel you need to, but if you want to give it another shot I'm sure you can pull...

  4. Just got accepted to nursing school and I'm not excited.

    monkeyshines replied to mom2twins9909's topic in General Students

    I can understand not wanting to change your life around too much, or make things uncomfortable. I'm a working mom, but I have been fairly comfortable in my routine for a while now. I have dreamed...

  5. Pre Nursing Mom, wife working full time.

    monkeyshines replied to Shesblessed's topic in General Students

    I'm still doing my prereqs now, but am in a similar boat to you. Have one kid (2.5), a good job, similar pay, but have done it for 10 years and just cannot continue in this career anymore. I had some...

  6. Pre-ABSN Student, worried I may not be en route

    monkeyshines replied to SaltandPepperCashew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely look for info sessions. GPC has one every few weeks. Most places don't post their acceptance rates, but by doing searches here and on google you can usually find people talking about the...

  7. Pre-ABSN Student, worried I may not be en route

    monkeyshines replied to SaltandPepperCashew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Person above has good advice. I'm in Atlanta as well. I have a prior bachelors from GA Tech and am going back to school for nursing. There are several good accelerated programs in the area for sure,...

  8. If I am applying for ADN at my local community college...

    monkeyshines replied to Reha786's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really does depend on the school. Mine doesn't take any volunteer work into account, and just goes off of grades and TEAS

  9. ADN nursing prerequisites: Online or in person?

    monkeyshines replied to Jane Doesky's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never done an online lab, so I don't know much about that, but I really like online classes. Everyone learns differently, and being able to kinda teach myself works really well for me. I think it...

  10. Is nursing school realistic

    monkeyshines replied to MeAnurse?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, also a federal employee here (10 years) and working toward changing my career to nursing. I think I'm crazy sometimes for considering giving up the excellent benefits, but I'm honestly tired of...

  11. Do you have a previous bachelors degree before going into nursing? (RPN/RN/LPN)

    monkeyshines replied to suits2scrubz's topic in General Nursing

    Still doing my prereqs for an ASN degree, but you would not be old going back to school at 24. In my micro class, my lab group is me, almost 30, a 39 yr old, a 29 yr old, and the youngest at 24. Age...
