    Why do you want to be a nurse?

    3rdgenRN2B replied to britdell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My grandmother was a nurse, my mom is a nurse, and several of my cousins are nurses. So I guess it's in my blood. I also like the prospect of job security and no longer living paycheck to paycheck. I...

    3rdgenRN2B replied to nursestudent1975's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to look into your schools policy on this. I've heard people say that A&P weren't a pre req at their school however, at my school, you need to have a&p 1, chem, math and english...

    3rdgenRN2B replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Thank you so much for this very thoughtful post. I looked into WCC and I can't believe they have finally started a part-time/night/weekend program... I have restored hope. I'll probably finish up my...

    I guess anything is possible. We'll see where we are a year from now. What concerns me the most is health insurance since my husband and daughter are both on my plan through my

    3rdgenRN2B replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The program I'm interested in suggests that you don't work at all and if you have to to limit your hours as much as possible. This just adds to my angst about this. I need to work full time. But I...

    School + Work + Mom = Goin Nuts?

    3rdgenRN2B replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I think you should wait until your child is a little older before going to NS. Your child is only this young once and the time will pass by so quick. School, on the other hand, will be...

    I have to rant for a second. I have wanted to be a nurse for the better part of my life so far. Yes I have wavered, tried other things, but the desire is still there. Why do I face so much opposition...
