  3. Evening/Weekend RN programs

    So far, I only know of one college that has an evening/weekend program - CCBC - Essex. Anyone know of any others? Just curious. I'm attending Essex right now for my pre-reqs, but still want to keep my options open when it's time to apply for nursi...
  4. I'm old and I need my RN ASAP

    Just to clarify - do you already have a bachelor's degree? If so you can probably do an accelerated program. I know the one here at Hopkins is a 13 month program, very stressful, but at least you're done in a year.

  6. biology fall 2008

    If anyone needs a refresher on the chemistry part, I'm so glad I bought the book "An Introduction to Chemistry for Biology Students" . It's really helping me a lot. It's a workbook that takes you step by step through all the atoms, molecules, neutr...
  7. biology fall 2008

    Ahhh! This is harder than I thought it was going to be! Lots of Chemistry is involved in molecular biology and it's been way too long since my last chemistry class. I feel like I'm so far behind and it's only the 3rd week. Anyone else?

    Most science courses have labs and yes the lab manuals are important to follow the labs. I have biology this semester and went to get my manual yesterday (the class starts today). Why wouldn't you buy what you need?
  10. Any older people in pre-nursing?

    Doesn't this bug you though? I did a group project with a few youngsters over the summer and they were not focused at all. I ended up doing most of the work. I'd love to be able to do labs on my own.
  11. Can you work full time and go to rn school???

    We have a evening/weekend program here, but when I apply I'm taking advantage of a program here at work (I work for a hospital) where I can go to school and work part time but still retain my full time benefits and salary. It's a huge benefit and wa...
  12. Any older people in pre-nursing?

    YAY for us! I think the only person that has NOT questioned my return to school is my fabulous partner of 8 years. Despite all the questions and doubts like "...at YOUR AGE??? (how many of us have heard that one?) We still persevere and go for it. ...
  13. Akkk

    :yeah:Yayy! But you took the first step and registered to do it! I know exactly what you're going through but in my case it's been 17 years. I was the oldest one in my Psych class over the summer (including the teacher :imbar). I was struck by ho...

    I'm 42 and just starting back myself. I have 3 years before I even start nursing school. Do you feel old and unable to learn? Probably not. It's never too late. I'm a vegetarian myself and I hear ya about the dissections, but like a friend of mine...

    I had a C in Psychology from 25 years ago and was advised to retake it to improved my GPA. If for some reason you don't get in, maybe you can retake the classes you got a C in. Right now, I'm taking one class at a time and feel like that's all I w...

    Old lady here too (42). I use a backpack just because sometimes I like to have my laptop with me and it really does feel better than putting all that weight on one shoulder. I'm beyond worrying about looking cool anyway, I say do what is comfortable...
  24. Anyone Failed 1st year 1st semester in nursing school(RN)

    You might also want to talk to your counseling center about getting some advice on test anxiety and the best way to approach the test. Most people don't know they can get help like this one on one.
  25. Help! best places to live

    Federal Hill is a nice area, however if you are worried about the cost of car insurance, you will pay lots more living in the city rather than the county. I have lived in both and my insurance almost doubled when I moved to the city. I really can'...
