I am a stay at hoemmom to 2 boys, age 7.5 and almost 4, and a little girl who is 20 months. After thinkign long and hard about our future, knowing I did not want to be an at home mom once my kids were in school, I decided to pursue nursing. Luckily...

i just got most my financial aid info, and I will have grants paying for pretty much this whole fall and spring semester, incld books!!! I am not sure about summer or next yr, though, as dhs income has increased due to lots of mandatory OT. But gos...

Someone I know got a minority scholarship at HU, who was white. No clue how, though. Nadia- love the name- thats my daughters name!

I am. I have a 7.5 yr old boy,an almost 4 yr old boy, and a 21 mo old girl.

I think the night class meets m-thr or fri nights, and I forget when they told me clinicals were...I believe on weekends. teh schedule was incredibly overwhelming, so as a parent I decided ti was a bad idea to go that way. If you dotn have kids, a...

Anyone know what areas of nursing are the hardest/easiest to egt into as a new grad around here? Right now I am only in the pre nursing phase, but I am wondering for the future.lol Do most grads get some sort of choice in area, or are they pretty ...

i iwll start by saying it will cost you an arm and a leg. its about $26,000 per program. they told me that in order to go into rn, I had to have medical experience or go through the lpn program at another $26,000.... As for the area...I live in New...

Im startign in the fall also!

Wrobelchic- Im in VA. Lpns dont make near as much in my area as rn's. My neighbor is an lpn and makes decent money, I hear, but she also has more duties than most lpns, and has been working at it for years. From what I hear lpns start at around $1...

Anyone done this? How hard is it? i will have to do it 1 semester!!! It will be micro and A&PII I will only have 1 other class that semester, and it will be soemthign non sciency- liek history.

wrobelchic- My mom was recently in the hospital- icu- and I felt the same. I didnt understand anythign going on to the level I wanted to. And I would be lying if I didnt say finances came into play. Around here starting pay for nurses is right arou...

Its possible, but I wouldnt count fluttering as a sign. There would be no way to feel fluttering that early on. Thats more likely gases.

Ive always had an interest in the medical field but wandered away from it. After re-evaluating my life and knowing I would need to start working soon, I went back to the area that my mind would wander everytime I watched a medical show, or discovery...

I sure hope its not too bad! From what ive read, it does seem interesting. I think micro is an 8w ummer program at my school.

I lucked out..kind of. The ns I am planning on going to is only going to be starting night and evening classes in jan from now on, which means I wont have to take any labs together! Bad news is it means taking micro on a summer semester.

If you are already working towards your bsn, have you considered getting a masters and becoming a NP? Not a dr, but it puts you in more of a doctorly role. My experiences with drs and nurse practitioners in drs offices were pretty similar. The drs...

Where I am applyign says you ahve to have a minimum of a c. But It is also competitive, which means the a people get in first, I guess. But also the interview is a big part, as the lady said there were peopel who did well in school but were just re...

In that case, the program i will be going to in VA doesnt have a waiting list as long as you do well in your pre-reqs and you interview well. But I don't know anything close to you.

The classes sound a lot more interesting than I thought they would. i have never had a problem disecting anything, although a frog is as much as I have ever had to do. Frogs and worms. lol oh, wait, I think we did some sea animal...cant recall wh...

starting to research anatomy and physiology stuff ahead of time? Just general knowledge stuff like the joints, bones names, muscles, etc etc? I thought that if i just looked through soem general stuff on it and had a base, that when I started clas...

I just talked to my dhs friends neighbor who is in the LPN program at MCi and she does not recommend MCi. Says that besides the long hours, they are very much train yourself.

If all goes as planned, I would start July 09. I am going to the school mon to look around and get all the info on the application process.

Being spiritual but non religious( I dont believe any religion is right or wrong) I think I would be pretty peeved to have this happen! A patient shouldnt be subjected to something that could agitate them unnecessarily! If a patient initiates it, t...

I hope so!

I agree. If you are married now is the time to foster their relationship. Fortunately I am a sahm, but my oldest is in school, so i dont see him all day. I worry about time I spend away from him, but my hubby and I also realize that its something w...
