I am currently attending Brookhaven College in Farmers Branch TX. I plan on applying to the nursing program in Spring of 08 which has a start of Summer. I am struggling with the financial side of going to school. I work now, but do not have much in...

As many of you have said, I'm in the same boat!! I am applying next month to hopefully start the nursing program in the Fall. I started back taking prereqs and core classes in 2005 and I hadn't had any schooling since I graduated high school in 1990....

Welcome to allnurses.com. I have been on for over a year I think and have found this site a great place to ask questions and just have the needed support that you may not get from home. I am 35 years old and started taking classes at night (I have ...

Well, I got an 81 last semester when I took the HESI. I will be taking it again this month, hoping to bring my grade up to a high 80. I wouldn't say that a 83 or 84 is bad. My school does a point system, so the better you do on the HESI the more l...

I can't even imagine how you are doing Micro in 4 weeks. All I have to say is cheers to you! :cheers: I took Micro last semester and ended with a high B almost an A. My suggestion to all (even though it's probably to late since we are getting ready t...

I will apply "for real" in January for the summermester. I will also take patho during that application period. I've Micro this fall and Patho in the spring. I actually plan on trying to test out of Nursing Calculations and Spanish for Nursing (ev...

Ya, I guess I need to look at that as well. I wonder what happens if you are currently a full time employee making decent money, but plan on quitting once I am accepted into nursing school. I don't want to apply in January and then not get the mone...

My understanding is that 30 is competitive. For example: The 21-30 range was for the admittance into Mountain View College which runs off the Brookhaven Nursing program for the last application period. I think Brookhaven may be a little higher then t...

That question was brought up at the last nursing discussion group for Brookhaven. I was told it varies from application period to application period. But that 21 on the low end and 30+ on the high end, is the range to be in. I'm shooting for 30 or...

Ditto to all! I'm taking this month (or next depedending on timing) at Brookhaven as well. I will deny acceptance though if I get in this semester. I was told that you must complete both pathophysiology and dosage/calc by at least your first semes...

Does the government send the money straight to the school? If so, how do you pay your living expenses? I'm confident that once I am accepted that I can get one of the local hospitals to cover my school cost as long as I sign a contract with them. ...

Josh and Mysterious One, Thank you so much! I'm working with my company now to determine if I can stay part-time (as they are an 8-5 M-F kind of company) to at least supplement my income. I think I can get the pay I need to at least stock pile in ...

Hey Guys and Gals! I need your help! I know I have posted to this forum a few times, but I need some direction more than ever. The last week I have been in tears every day trying to figure out how in the heck I'm going to do this. After talking t...

So, I was going to apply for the nursing program this Fall. I went and talked to the advisor and they told me there is a new rule. If you have not taken Patho or Dosage/Calculations then you must complete them during your first semester of nursing ...

I am also taking Micro this Fall and can definitely use any input I can from every resource. Good luck and let's keep in touch!

Microbiology! YEAH!! I work full time, so one class at a time is good for me. I have done two before, but that's about as much as I can take! My job is WAY to demanding! Good luck to everyone!

I am finished with my prereqs, and am working on finishing my core classes before I apply in the Fall of 08 @ Brookhaven in Farmers Branch TX. I currently work a full time job in Direct Mail Marketing which has been my career for the last 11 years. ...

:uhoh3:I am a 34 Single woman with no children trying to finish my core classes so I can apply for nursing school next fall. I can do it as long as I continue to pass my core classes as I do not want to apply until then. I work a full time job and ...

Thanks TheCommuter!! Now, since I don't have any prior healthcare experience, I guess I can try to find an office job or work as a student nurse (do you even get paid for that) in a healthcare facility somewhere. I'm not to worried about the "not-so-...

Thanks Joshuaha!! I finished all of prereqs last Fall and am just finishing up the rest of the Core classes now. I will everything done but Spanish for Nursing when I apply in the Fall of 08. I figure the more core classes completed the better off...

I definitely do care, and I really want to do well. I think the advice that everyone has provided me well inspire me and give me that needed push. I currently have a low A in the class, so I'm doing good, I just feel like I should be retaining more...

I can't say she necessarily "enjoyed" it. It was a lot of work, but she has said that it was all worth it.

I'm so glad to see that the BHC Nursing students are on here. I'm still working on my core classes. I'll be completly done with all of them by next fall ('08) and look foward to nursing school. I really want to go to Brookhaven, so I will do my be...

I am not personally a nurse yet, but I have a few friends that work for the NICU at Baylor Dallas and LOVE IT!! One just finished her NP License (getting ready to take boards this month) so an opening is coming soon!!

I'm a little offended and appauled by some of the comments about Plano/Allen/McKinney. I was born and raised in Plano and wouldn't consider myself nor my family/friends "snobby". Sure you are going to have some, but let's be honest, you have there ...
