LOL thanks Sweetie, good luck to you too.

Thanks so much everyone!!!

Wow, thats great Lori!! So I can start by only taking 1 or 2 classes? I think that's what I should do. I'm 30 and have 3 small kids. 10,5 and 3, Im a SAHM. Im wondering if I should wait until they're older to do this? I wanted to start asap though.

Cool Lori! I havent applied anywhere yet. Im thinking of Essex County, Passaic, even Bergen. I did fill something out for Bloomfield College for pre-nursing courses. Im assuming thats what I need?! Its very confusing to me lol.

No prob Lori! How did you do with your pre-req courses? What are co-req? How long did it take and did you go full time? Way to go for getting into Holy Name!! Thats great!

Hi Lori. Is this nursing school or the school to take the courses? When did you apply?

Hi Mel. Im looking into essex county, bergen county, passaic, theyre all near me. Where did/do you go?

Thank you!!!

I just saw this section!? Im still checking out all the diff sections and didnt realize this is where I prob should be posting LOL. Im not in school, but I want to be a nurse SO bad...a L&D nurse. I didnt do good in HS, but others have told me that's ok. Its the college classes that count. Which makes me feel much better. I just hope I can get into a school! I guess the 1st step is calling and making an appt with a counselor? Do I explain I want to take the courses I need to get into a nursing school? And once I pass those classes THEN I apply to nursing schools right? I want this SO bad! A little about me. Im 30 and a SAHM to 3 kids. 10, 5 and almost 3. I have a wonderful hubby and we live in NJ. I know it's not going to be easy, everyone keeps telling me how hard it'll be. But I really want this!

Thanks guys!!!!!!!! :)

SOOOOOOOO BAD!!!! Im so jealous of you all. I hope I can do it. Im planning on going to a community college to take the classes I need. Anytime I talk to anyone about it they're always like its VERY hard. Which Im not expecting it to be easy, but they say it like I cant do it. My cousin is in nursing school right now and we're planning on talking one day next week about it. She said it's intense but she loves it.

Wow, thanks mitchsmom! Had no idea about that. I do know I wasnt on antibiotics for mine, I wonder why! I didnt get great care at that time either. Didnt have any drugs (wanted them), I pushed for 2 hours and they had to use the vacuum, I had an ob I never met, until he came in to deliver my son. It was not a good experience.

Mine was pretty big but my ob said he didnt want to do anything yet, just keep an eye on it. Im assuming it went away?! LOL.

If I go to nursing school should I go for RN or BSN? My neighbor who is a nurse said go with the BSN. Im confused with it all. I want to be a L&D nurse so not sure if that has anything to do with it? Thanks!

No complications, not that I knew of anyway LOL. The nurses were always with me, but I remember them saying they werent allowed to check? I should have asked why.
