Natingale, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I can't believe you posted your congrats to me - earlier today, I was thinking of how I owed YOU a note of thanks for all of your past encouragement. I...
Karenanda, Congrats to you as well. I've heard that the interview process isn't a big deal, but don't quote me on that:) I should be able to get more info from some of the people I work with that...

Go for it! I'm 46 (female, though) and went back to school to start pre-reqs when my youngest son started kindergarten. Prior to my children, I worked in NYC for many years as an "executive...
Hi, Has anyone been accepted to Nassau Community College's nursing program with a 3.75 (or maybe less)? I plan on applying in October for January's class. I always hear "4.0" as the number that gets...
oldcatlady, Thanks for your kind words. It is awesome to be able to do this. I'm not sure if I would use the word "awesome" my first day at NCC, when I was 42 sitting in Sociology surrounded by 18...
