I don't know where you are from or how far you're willing to move, but do some research and look around you can find a place to go. The school I am going to here in Iowa is a BSN, few prereqs, no waiting lists, and they don't even really look at your gpa. They pretty much let everyone into the program. However we did start with like 30 something people and went to 16 after one year. There are a few private schools out there like this, you just got to look for them.

Speaking of drug cal and other stuff... We have a Math test each year (3 yrs) where you have to get a 96% to continue in the program.

80% and that is a C- Anything lower and you're out of the program.

hahaha, I hate bedmaking also, but! after being in the army I can make a bed like no other. No teacher is as picky about wrinkles and corners as a drill sergeant who's goal is to break you down. So, I just make my beds and think to myself, At least I'm not being yelled at and doing push ups!

Thanks for the reply! I have never competed in any type of triathlon event, I'm not insane though. I don't plan on going straight into a Ironman competition anytime soon. I was thinking about training and doing some sprints and olympics next year and working my way towards the Ironman. As far as my level of fitness, It isn't what it was. Just got out of the army almost a year ago. I was in Awesome shape then, run for miles on end road march for miles all the time, I loved it. always scored 300 (max score) on PT test. Now, I just run about 3 miles a day 3 times a week and do some light bodyweight exercises another 3 days a week. My weakest event would for sure be the swimming... I can swim decent but never swam for endurance or distance. The thing that worries me the most isn't my physical capabilities or mental toughness but the amount of money it might take to be able to compete! I'm poor and it seems like there are a lot of stuff you need for this! haha Thank you for the book recommendation and the offer to answer my questions, I may take you up on it after I've done some more research.

I've recently seen some videos on Ironman and I am really impressed by these people, they are just nuts! I would love to do this, I want to do this! I'm seriously considering training for and competing in triathlons with the ultimate goal of taking on the Ironman. Anyone ever done one? experiences, opinions, ideas?

That is true, alot of them I'm sure I will be using for the next three years, and hopefully next terms books shouldn't cost me as much. Still sucks though!

$492 for books for this fall, I cried. lol

Grats to you! Me, I finish this coming Thursday, did the same as you A&P I&II in 10 weeks... So much information I thought my head was gonna explode. I managed to get a low A in the first half and I am getting a High A in the second half... highest grade in the class at that. You really do need a lot of time to study in a class like this, you could tell who was studying and who wasn't by the grades.

Hey deliverator, I feel your pain, I have just quit WoW in preperation for starting my BSN this fall because I already know I can't play and still keep up with all my studies, lol.
