  1. New Pre-nursing Student!

    marinemommy replied to Nixie5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome to allnurses! I am relatively new here as well but have found this place to be extremely informative and just a great resource/place to vent! I am finishing up my pre-reqs over the next two...

  2. how do you afford to live while in school?

    marinemommy replied to gordonarkell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We're biting the bullet and taking student loans. I have three kids to put into daycare in order to take my lab classes so I'm taking loans to cover for that and my husband's income will cover the...

  3. Never thought you'd be a nurse?

    marinemommy replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't always want to be a nurse. I got my degree in Athletic Training and always thought that I'd be a trainer for some sports team or some college out there. But then I had my first son and just...

  5. anyone is going to saddleback cc?

  6. Can a SAHM of 3 manage taking 12 credits?

    marinemommy replied to RN2bemommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it really depends on your experience (whether or not you've taken college courses) and your time management skills. I have 3 young boys (6, 3, and almost 2) and took 12 credits last semester...

  7. Relocating to San Diego...Need advice!!!!

    marinemommy replied to godivaRN's topic in California Nursing

    This is a little late probably, but I live in Oceanside and it really depends on the area you live in. But then, I live on the marine base (Camp Pendleton) so I'm in somewhat of a closed off...

  8. A question for moms...

    marinemommy replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it depends on your perspective. I have 3 boys (6, 3, and almost 2) and up until this February, I was a working mom. Since my boys were in daycare, I learned to make the absolute best of my...

  9. Not Starting till Fall 07 :(

    marinemommy replied to Belle27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the same spot - although I need to finish up 3 more prereqs first and will also be working to pay off some debt. It is frustrating and you have to practice a lot of patience but it will all...

  10. online

    marinemommy replied to Yanet22787's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I've found so far, most of the online programs are usually RN-BSN, which means that you already need to have your RN licensure in order to obtain your bachelor's

  11. SAHM's - We are amazing!

    marinemommy replied to amybethf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Its nice to see other moms going for their nursing degree! Sometimes I feel all alone in my classes and its nice to come here and see that I am, indeed, not

  12. A & P Classes

    marinemommy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The community colleges in my area (San Diego County) only seem to offer Anatomy and Physiology as separate classes, not as one unit. These same colleges require those classes (and not the traditional...

  13. New Here,Olders Nurses to Be??

    marinemommy replied to wanna_be_midwife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it would depend on how you stand financially without your job. I too would like to have another child (yes, I'm nuts for wanting 4!) and have planned on working p/t while obtaining my...

  14. Second-time around, advice

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

    DrugReptoNurse - I've been considering the private universities lately and have been trying to get the stuff ready to apply to National but I'm not so sure if I'll get accepted. But, I'll never know...

  17. Bad grades from 8 years ago

    marinemommy replied to duckies's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know what schools you are applying to but the schools around where I'm applying to (I'm in the San Diego area but will most likely be applying to schools in NC or GA - my husband is a Marine)...

  18. New Here,Olders Nurses to Be??

    marinemommy replied to wanna_be_midwife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gwen - I want to become a midwife also, good to see others interested in the profession! I'm an almost 30 y/old mom of 3. I think having the 3 kids makes me feel 10 years older though, they can be...

    marinemommy replied to xNursePinkx2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    New to this forum but glad to have found it!! I'll be working part-time and have 3 kids (and will have a deployed husband) so I'll be taking only 1 class on campus. Hopefully I'll be able to take:...

  20. Ga Career Changers Here?

    marinemommy replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I will be a second career nurse. I have a degree in athletic training that I never used but have worked in the biotech field for nearly 7 years - and have done very well in it. But I have wanted to go...

    marinemommy posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    I was checking out GPC and am a little confused so if any of you could help me, I'd totally appreciate it. Do you have to have all of your prereqs finished before applying? I will have everything...
