  4. What are you sacrificing to go nursing school?

    manofbess replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Now that I think about it, I haven't sacrificed that much. I don't have kids and I'm not married (although I have a significant other). I did resign from my job and I moved out of my apartment....

    manofbess posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Is applying 2 multiple schools a given?

    manofbess replied to springgarden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    manofbess replied to manofbess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Jilaweez, we certainly will make it through! My family's never had it easy either, so I know that they can't really help me. They put a little bit into my bank account when I was in undergrad, but now...

  18. Ok Freeking out now....

    manofbess replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    English comp won't be bad (far better than literature in my opinion--I hated nothing more than analyzing poetry!). I would say English was always my strong point, but everyone in my college English...

    manofbess replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, if you got a letter indicating your financial aid package from the school, then pretty much you're set :) It should show up online eventually and you can pay tuition and stuff. And if it's...
