If you're 40, you probably have more working years ahead of you than you do behind you... I say GO FOR IT!!! You have nothing to lose, and so much to gain in terms of career options as you get older. As far as paying for the program goes, many employ...

You could put an anonymous note in your teacher's mailbox that says "make sure to keep an eye on so-and-so when we're grading our next test." Then you can feel better knowing that you've brought the issue to your instructor's attention without tattli...

Could it be possible that, instead of "consoling", the op meant to use the word, "counseling" or "consulting"? Since there seems to be a grammatical problem with the sentence, it may be a question of semantics. Anyway, people are being pretty harsh w...

Hello out there - Has anyone out there been accepted to, enrolled in, or graduated from the accelerated BSN program at Cleveland State University? If so, I have two questions for you! 1) What were your application statistics? (Undergrad/Prereq. GPA,...

From one second-career nurse-wannabe to another, hello! Some of your questions have been already answered, but here's my two cents! From the academic background you've described, it doesn't seem like you would have any problem getting into and succee...

FYI for anyone who is worried about the chemistry section of the test: it is very general; I almost killed myself completing my chemistry pre-reqs but got 100% on that section on the TEAS... If you are worried about that section (and any other secti...

Do not freak out! Go to this link http://www.testprepreview.com/teas_practice.htm and do the FREE practice tests. They will give you a good idea of what to expect on the TEAS test, as well as help pinpoint areas you need to work on before you take t...

Follow this link and do the practice tests (no charge!!!!). I did each of them at least once, just to make sure I had the background info (especially for the math & grammar sections). I found the practice tests to be more difficult than the actua...

I just got my acceptance for an accelerated BSN program beginning January 2008. :-)

YOU hit the nail on the head, motorcycle mama!!!!! The following link calculates how much you pay in interest - and how long it will take you to pay off your credit card - if you make minimum payments only. SCARY!!!!! http://www.webwinder.com/ww_dis...

Hello there - I am not any kind of a nurse yet, but as a newer mom who read every available resource on natural childbirth, and whose childbirth classes supported medication-free births and meditation as a pain-management tool (not hypnotism per se, ...

Earlier this summer, before I took the TEAS test, I used the link suggested by txmommyof3 above. It had been 15+ years since I had taken math, chemistry and physical science, and the individual skill sections at this site were a great review tool. W...

Hello - I am waiting on acceptance to an ABSN program (should hear in a few weeks), and although I'm sure they'll fill me in on all the gory details when/if I get in, I can't wait to find out what it's going to be like! If you, or anyone you know, a...

The ADN program at the CC where I'm taking BSN prereqs does not require any chemistry. I think this is unusual, though. My BSN program requires 2 semesters of General Chemistry w/lab; a total of 10 credits. Some schools require one semester, some wi...

Something to think about - if you are paying for school on your own, or with loans, once you get your initial bachelor's degree, your financial aid options decline significantly!!! I know I never thought much about the financial aspect of college whe...

I've been in situations where my lab partners have not wanted to do any work, or just wanted to watch me do everything. Sometimes it was because they were afraid of screwing up, sometimes they were just lazy. Whatever the reason, in those situations,...

I am in the process of taking the prerequisites for an accelerated BSN program. I have done very well (4.0) in A&P, Micro, Psych and all the other miscellaneous prerequisites, but now I am taking general Chemistry, and it is killing me. I underst...

I don't think anyone, myself included, is denying the need to understand biochemistry (which we are taught in biology)!!!! I was actually the one who explained the gas exchange process, over and over again, to the other students at my lab table in A&...

I worked very hard for my ADN... and I took general chemistry and biochemistry, as well as microbiology. It was required coursework... and it helped me very much when I entered the nursing program. Please don't think I was trying to say that the ADN ...

quote from daytonite: "however, learning dimensional analysis is going to be immensely helpful to you when you have to do drug calculation problems in nursing school. look at some of the examples of this on this thread (https://allnurses.com/forums/f...

I do already have a bachelor's degree and I was one class and a thesis away from a master's degree in management when I decided I no longer wanted to work in corporate finance. I know all about taking classes just to "learn how to think!!!!!" I didn'...

Of course, you are right!!!!! Apologies to all ADNs who had to take Chemistry!!!! It is not required at our other local cc either! :uhoh21:

Sincere apology!!!!! It's not required at for the CC program where I'm doing these prereqs.

Thanks so much to everyone for your replies and support. I am glad that you've basically confirmed what I had hoped was true - that the stuff I'm actually going to use on the job is the type of chemistry that's reiterated in the bio classes. So much ...

It is so funny... from what I understand, the only chemistry I am going to need to concern myself with once I'm a nurse is the stuff I've already learned in A&P and Micro. I guess Chemistry is just something I'm going to have to struggle through....
