  1. Future plans after Nursing

    DaughterofRuth replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RN-BSN-MD is a route I seriously considered (before I realized I'm just too old @ 39 to put my family through that) and in my research I learned it really just depends upon the school you're applying...

  2. Mommy issues of the other kind ...

    DaughterofRuth replied to DaughterofRuth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's how I got through last semester - a day at a time! And while I have class M & W, T nights are for snuggling on the couch with my girl. I'm really looking forward to it tonight.

    DaughterofRuth replied to deener618's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work a fulltime job 75 miles from home, so in addition to 35hrs a week at work I commute 3.5+ hours a day. I have DH and DD10 to attend to. I'm taking 2 classes at a time, typically one science...

  4. Pre-nursing...worried

    DaughterofRuth replied to gudiarani's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Generally speaking, you'll need As in those two classes to raise your GPA above the 3.0 you have now as Bs will only maintain the 3.0. You'll have to calculate what those two As would do to your GPA...

  6. Foot problems - am I screwed?

    DaughterofRuth posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DaughterofRuth replied to cacori2006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. How long for Rn program with prerequisites included?

    DaughterofRuth replied to jlhalloween's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my local community college, on average it takes students 3-4 years to complete the ADN (2 year degree). All prerequisites must be completed prior to admission to the nursing program, and the...

  10. How are you preparing for the new school year?

    DaughterofRuth posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DaughterofRuth replied to allthingsbright's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work fulltime 2 hours from home, so life will continue on pretty much as it always does. Taking 2 online classes, probably Psych 101 and Developmental Psychology - it never occured to me they were...

  13. What a disaster of a semester

    DaughterofRuth replied to Rohan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like your semester did suck, but at least it sounds like you're not beating yourself up over it and have a plan to get back on track in the fall. And gallbladder remover isn't a piece of cake,...

    DaughterofRuth posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    in my entire life! I'm a smart person, I know this, but algebra has been my demon since high school. I'm slogging through Intermediate Algebra now and very well aware that I have to pass this get to...

  15. Need Advice...

    DaughterofRuth replied to SWTE67's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hear ya on the being scared of math thing, but the only thing you can do is try to put the fear aside and focus on what you need to do. First thing is to check out the program requirements - what...

  18. I need support.

    DaughterofRuth replied to MJJFan1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just try to stay as positive as you can. I'm a big believer in the right thing happening (even in my other posting). You make your future, not some flimsy paper

  19. Just so disappointed right now :(

    DaughterofRuth replied to DaughterofRuth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not out of our general area. DH is supportive, but not that supportive. No, this is my first degree. The LPN programs here are basically the same as first year RN and offered full-time days....

  20. Just so disappointed right now :(

    DaughterofRuth posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just learned that, because I'm an out-of-county applicant, there is no way I can get into the ADN program I've been counting on. The reason I wanted this one is it has an evening/weekend program...

  23. Just so disappointed right now :(

    DaughterofRuth replied to DaughterofRuth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh believe me, I thought of it! We moved from that county two years ago because we were priced out of the home market. DH is willing to move back there to help me get into the program, but the only...

  24. Scheduling pre-reqs - am I insane?

    DaughterofRuth posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Planning my path through pre-reqs and wondering if its insane to consider taking A&P II concurrently with Applied Calculus? I work full-time while attending school part-time and am concerned that...

  25. Scheduling pre-reqs - am I insane?

    DaughterofRuth replied to DaughterofRuth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Might be business calc, the description says its for biology majors. There is heavier calc offered though. To get into my school of choice, as well as for further studies down the road, I need to...
