not far from Northern VA.... Winchester here!!!

I would take classes that would help you get another degree rather than taking something that is just keeping you enrolled - Just for that Plan "B"... Phlebotomy is a good choice....gets you a little closer to your dream!!

Hi - I'm new to this board as well - I actually start my 1st semester this summer! CAn't wait!! Like you, I am a stay-at-home mommy as well - 2yr old and 4yr old - I already have a "plan"....maybe this will help.... 1. Nap time - is cram time! lol 2. The kids wake up at 8 a.m., be up by 7 a.m. studying! 3. I don't let my girls watch T.V. but 2 times a day - from 45 mins - 1 hr each time - when they do get to watch it, they are distracted for at least 1 hr..: if you let them have at the TV constantly, it's not a "prize" to watch it.... 4. I have "book" time with my girls...once in the a.m- and in the p.m. - for at least 1/2 hr, they read or look at their own books quietly---(I do not read to them at this time) and this will hopefully help me out when I can join in and read my own "book"!!! 5. I plan on using my parents or my in-laws at least one day Sat./Sun. for a few hours for what ever is "left over" to do...Grandparents are GREAT!!! I hope this helps...

Yeah, I'm taking the SOC online this semester! In class for the PSY. I heard that HLT130 was a lot of work, even though it's only 1 credit??? is that true? In the fall I'll be doing ENG 111 and PHI

I've had the hardest time with their Financial Aid Department! I've called for the past 3 weeks almost every day. Not one person had called me until 7 p.m. yesterday! Now they don't know if they'll be able to process my financial aid because of their mistake. I've had to finally call the Director and speak her. Unbelieveable! Oh- I'm doing one of those classes online, and the other in the evenings... stay home with my children during the day.

I hear ya! I'm in the same boat as you....have a few kids too.. I'm excited to start this program. I'm taking Psychology and Sociology this semester.

awesome!!! I have my fingers crossed for you!!!!! Good LUCK!!! This is actually my first semester at LFCC - Do you have any friends that'll be doing the nursing w/ you?? I've found that helps...some support! When are you supposed to find out if you've made it in??

Just wanted to see if there was anyone here in my area... maybe pair up if we share some classes!

just wondering how Nutrition is working out for you guys! Thinking of taking it in the fall -- just needed some opinions.

Thanks to all that have posted!!!! This really helps...getting other pre-nursing students opinion...cause some place out there ; you've - been there, done that!!!! Can't wait till i can start helping people out on here as well - Just a newbie for the moment and have not started any classes yet! I'm taking the Psychology, Sociology, and Nutrition and Diet Therapy this Semester!

Thanks so much! I just found this board yesterday and it seems to be a good support group!

New to the board and this Summer semester will be my first - Thinking of doing my Psychology and Sociology and wanted some input on what you guys think about doing them the same semester? Too much or Easy enough?? I'm great w/ reading -actually love to read!! Any suggestions would be great!
