    3rdgenRN2B posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok - I've been on and off this board for years now, struggling to find a way to feasibly go to nursing school. Before it was my family's reliance on me for health insurance. Then it was not being...

    Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    3rdgenRN2B replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    If I could offer my two cents. I'm not waiting on a letter right now - I'm just restarting my prereqs this fall. But I've been a member of this board for years and every year I read this thread and...

    3rdgenRN2B replied to 42&mytime's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for posting this!! I'm going to be returning to pre-reqs this fall and already started talking myself out of it. I've read so much negativity that it scared me. But I still want this and...

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

    About to turn 36 here... Married with 2 kiddos. I'm returning to taking pre-reqs after quite some time. So long, in fact that I have to re-take chem because it expired. :) So happy to have found...

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

    Don't I wish I could go to school during the day. But until I actually get accepted to a program I have to take my prereqs around my work schedule. This means my only option right now is this Sunday...

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

    Thank you. I'm feeling so awful right now. I'm turning 36 in two weeks and have wanted to pursue nursing for so long now. I had completely given up until yesterday when I discovered those courses...

    Ncc

    3rdgenRN2B posted a topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm returning to ncc this fall to once again chip away a prereqs. Eight years ago I took chem, cas, and psych and then abandoned the idea for a while thinking I couldn't do it. Since then I've...

    3rdgenRN2B posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Career Change

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

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I've already taken all my pre-reqs outside of the lab sciences. I took Chem years ago, but that has since expired. I would have to leave work early just to retake...

    Another day...another worry

    3rdgenRN2B posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm worried that I don't have the demeanor to be a good nurse. I worry that I'm too sensitive and thin skinned (although this I've managed to overcome somewhat in my current job). I worry that I'll...

    Any good books to read before starting A&P this fall?

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

    It won't help you with a&p but any books by echo heron will get you psyched to be a nurse. Real life stories of her journey to become a nurse as well as others. Love those

    3rdgenRN2B replied to Sammie2015's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm pre-nursing at ncc (returning this fall after "exploring my options") and I have it on pretty good authority that ncc's nursing program is excellent! And this is from the DON at a local hospital....

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

    OK, so I've realized that I have now officially spent 8 years telling myself that I can't be a nurse. 8 years!! I think it's time that I at least give it a shot. Time to put this to rest.... I'm so...

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

    I have about a year left to my accounting degree. I don't hate it - I do like it because its challenging. And for the first time in my life I'm doing well at something. I also have 17 years...

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

    So I just looked at the cc I would want to attend - and the schedule actually isn't that bad!! At least not the first semester. Maybe it's finally time to stop making excuses and just do it. Thanks...

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

    I do believe- I just need to believe that what's meant to be will be. I'm scared that I'll find out its not meant to be and I'll have wasted 2 years in the meantime. I'm going to be 35 this year so...

    3rdgenRN2B posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've wanted to be a nurse for as long as I could remember. Unfortunately, when I had the chance right out of high school I messed up. Now, years later, I'm married with kids and all the...

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

    Really? I've never heard of this outside of bsn programs - and those are for already licensed RNs. Do you have any names of schools that offer this? I really want to believe that what's meant to be...
