   kinntj replied to jbdang's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you really want to be a nurse then retake the classes and make this your last time. Hire a tutor or polish your study habits. I'm going into the LPN program, because it is easier to get into, but they bridge to the RN program. That's the way I'...

    I'm sacraficing time with my kids, but I've been blessed to stay home with them this long, so now it's my turn to do things for me. I'm hoping it's such a short intense time, that it won't hurt them too much. We're sacraficing money and going on f...

    Definately talk to someone in the special admissions/nursing department (if that is what your school has) and ask for specific information. Like another poster said, our information is on the internet, but it's general guidelines and not up to date....
