   Testing, trying to see if I can post.

3. Dadblamed Pre-Requisites!

   rozlips replied to rozlips's topic in General Students

   Oh, I forgot to add, I'll have to take three pre-reqs Statistics, Accounting and A&P. Fortunately, the school I'm attending has an A&P class specifically for HIM students. There's no lab and no chemistry pre-requisite.

4. Dadblamed Pre-Requisites!

   rozlips replied to rozlips's topic in General Students

   After much consideration I've decided to do health information management instead. I think I'm more suited to that field for a variety of reasons. I was concerned about the physical aspects of nursing as I've developed arthritis in my neck and back o...

5. Online courses vs. in classroom?

   rozlips replied to Mayaquice's topic in General Students

   I'm taking HIM at a school where all the classes are online. I haven't started the HIM part yet. I've got to take Statistics and Accounting first. I'm thinking about taking them both online, but haven't decided yet. I just moved here and if I don't t...

6. Take Two Science Pre-Reqs at Once

   rozlips replied to rozlips's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My Chem II does have an organic component. All this may well be for naught anyway. I just found out today that I can't apply for nursing school until I've completed ALL FIVE of my math and science pre-reqs. Which means even if I did finish them summe...

7. And the Craziness Continues

   rozlips posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   So, I'm still gathering information about entering nursing school. Kennesaw State, which has an accelerated second degree program was my first choice. Then I discovered that I can't even apply until I've completed five math/science pre-reqs. In other...

8. Take Two Science Pre-Reqs at Once

   rozlips posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   So I've taken a deep breath and realized that theoretically I can finish nursing school in less than three years. Emphasis on theoretically. It would require admission to Kennesaw's accelerated 16 month second degree program. I could start this fall...

10. Dadblamed Pre-Requisites!

    rozlips replied to rozlips's topic in General Students

    @rtbscu: I'm hoping to enroll there as well. I got my application in last week, now I'm just waiting. They're having an informational meeting on the 14th at GA Perimeter that I'll go to. I'll definitely take some online classes, but since it's been n...

11. Dadblamed Pre-Requisites!

    rozlips replied to rozlips's topic in General Students

    The school that has the accelerated program for college grads would be less than $10k for a BSN, so I don't think that's bad. It's roughly $134 per credit hour. Of course, that's not factoring in various and assorted fees, but looks like about $2k pe...

12. Dadblamed Pre-Requisites!

    rozlips replied to rozlips's topic in General Students

    From the way I see it, and again, I may be going insane, it might actually make more sense for me to go to one of the BSN programs. It'll take the same amount of time. I can take Chemistry this fall, A&P I/II on split semester in the spring and e...

13. Dadblamed Pre-Requisites!

    rozlips replied to rozlips's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the quick responses. @Hopeful, yes, I took two semesters of Biology in undergrad, but that was 25 years ago! According to their website any science class had to have been taken within the past 6 years. @Casi, three years is too much beca...

    I'll give you the abbreviated version of my story. At almost 44 I've decided I want out of my social services career. My sister has been a nurse for twenty years and really likes it. I think I would enjoy the flexibility and having the same opportuni...
