Most colleges will tell you the book to study from, and I heard that one should study for a least one semester (but don't quote me)...good luck!

Paul, I'm so sorry to hear about your wife. My condolences goes out to you, your family, and her family. As far as your surgery, everything will go well and be patience you will get into the program...you will be in my prayers.

I'm actually am going to attend Med school. I just wanted to get my foot in the door and be more up to date with informatin before I get there. I feel that if I go for my BSN first, once I get into Med school I can possible work PRN and a RN during the summer or something not to include I won;t feel too lost once I'm in Med school.

I am a single mother of two children (4 and 2) although I'm living at home with my mother I feel that going to school and getting it over with is a great idea. I am 23yo (yes I'm young but am not giving up) I have been going to school part time since 2003 and just, this semester, decided to take on more classes. My children do attend daycare five days a week. I take them to school at 7:30 in the am and I pick them up no later than 3:30pm...and they love it. They love their techer, their friends and the activities they do in school. I attend school two days a week and the days that I'm not in school I work part time to pay for childcare. ( I do not work on the weekends) After daycare I come home and have plenty of time to laugh, play and teach them new things, while having them down for bed by 8:30pm. Afterwards, is when I do my homework. So with all of that being said, don't get discourage. I'm happy that you have a husband that is very supportive, as I as well do have a VERY supportive family. But what I'm trying to say is, you can put your children in daycare five days a week and while the days you aren't in school you can study more all along spending time with your children from early evening til its bedtime for them. And once they are sleep finish your schoolwork. I hoped I help you in your decision. FYI: Although my school load has increase, my time with my children has not decreased. They are having fun and learning...while I'm in school learning as well, trying to make a better future for them. Good luck and if you are religious, pray about. For GOD will not put too much on you that you can;t handle.

Don't get discourage, you can to do...I have started college in fall 02 as a part time student I had my first child 2months after...although I was going only spring and fall I decided to go one summer semester (each semester taking no more than two classes...may I include I had to take two learning support classes for two semesters)...I had my second child feb 05...and here i am, summer i will finally be a full time student, with the help of my mother I am able to go full time...and although I have only three classes left to finish my pre reqs at a ADN level, I'm trying to transfer to a 4yr and do their BSN instead of doing a 2yr ADN program at a community school. Believe me, I have been down, but like everyone else is saying...time will go by on it's own...and as I look back, I know I have accomplished alot...I'm 23yo 2 children ages 4 and 2 and am not giving up...SO DON"T YOU GIVE UP NOR FEEL DISCOURAGE...and enjoy your new bundle of joy:)
