    starting over...again...

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

    Aww thanks all. I know I have easier/shorter term options if I really want a change but my heart is with nursing and only nursing. If I don't try this now I have a sneaking suspicion that 20 years...

    3rdgenRN2B posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OK, I have been a member of this board for about 7 years. I have had many many false attempts at starting pre-reqs for nursing and have always talked myself out of it. This is my dream. I want...

    3rdgenRN2B replied to CJ223's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I believe ncc starts in fall and January but I don't think it's the students choice as to which semester they start. I had someone in my lifespan course who did opt for a jan start so she could take...

    Good luck to you! Twice I've registered for A & P in the past and ended up finding out I was preggers both times to I had to drop. Now it's been so long that I have to repeat chem before once...

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

    So that being said... Do I take it super slow and start off with soc- it would add an extra year to my process but I'm in no rush, could even fit it Cna training along the way- or jump into Chem and...

    Is this even realistic?

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

    I know this thread is old, but I'm still struggling with indecision. Registration opened for fall and with that comes my wanting to pursue nursing again. Since this post, I've seen a counselor...

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

    Have you read my most recent post? When I finally decided to return to school (9 years after graduating) it was for paralegal studies. I loved the class, starting salaries were decent, and I did...

    Is this even realistic?

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

    Thank you all for taking the time to read and respond... The upside is I have 2-3 years of pre-reqs to work through first. So I have time to figure it out. Hubby is actively looking for a new job...

    Do I have to re-take Chemistry? Need advice please

    3rdgenRN2B replied to Lola89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sigh. At my school Chemistry expires after only 5 years. I barely made it through the first time, and am looking at having to retake it again in the spring. However, had I been ready to apply this...

    Should I pursue nursing?

    3rdgenRN2B replied to StaceyBoo328's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the previous poster - start taking pre-reqs. I think A & P will give you some good insight. Or maybe even take a CNA class? Or....volunteer at a hospital and see if you like the...

    so confused with school

    3rdgenRN2B replied to sbishop4455's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you ask at the school that is offering this degree? Maybe they have some stats on what graduates of this program are doing. Or, better yet, maybe they can put you in contact with people who...

    Teas (4 or 5) prior to A&P?

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

    Grab the review book and start taking practice tests. This will give you a good idea of what material will be on the actual exam. For me, I plan on taking my time and getting as many science...

    Associates degree question

    3rdgenRN2B replied to sbishop4455's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't read all the responses, and I'm sure someone already suggested this, but why not just get an ADN? You can always move onto higher degrees after that, and get your foot in the door and...
