    CMSNYC posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hi everyone, I'm looking at going back to school for my nursing degree. I have a BA from Hofstra University, so I've been told that a lot of my general credits will transfer. I'm 35 with a mortgage...

    CMSNYC posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

  4. Quest about pre-reqs?

    CMSNYC posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you need to take your pre-reqs at one school or can you take them at different ones? With a f/t job, I can only take classes on nights and weekends and it would make my life a heck of a lot easier...

    CMSNYC replied to nynurse2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Does this sound like a workable plan?

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

    Thanks for the encouragement! I know the community college by my parents house is affordable and no one I know who goes there has ever had a problem having their grades transfer. And catzy, you make...

  9. Getting a Spouse's Support

    CMSNYC replied to nynurse2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One of the things that really keeps me from jumping into nursing school full throttle ahead is the thought of incurring all this additional debt. I'm 35 and just finished paying off my two...

    CMSNYC replied to Charmedone619's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. BOCES LPN Programs???

    CMSNYC replied to CMSNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    Actually this was a great piece of advice. I have a BA, so I need to take quite a few pre-reqs before I can even apply to nursing schools. So maybe QCC might be an option.
