Thanks for the info. I was also wondering what it would be.

Why do they separate the class like that? Even if you are young you probably can still (handle it). Also it is being just like that other person said to the first posting that they were to old to got back top school.

Hello everybody currently I am re-entering into the nursing program this fall. I cannot beleive that I have to repeat my first semester all over again. But I guess it will have to be that way. Last semester I had 7 month old baby and a 5 year old and a full time job. I guess you can say that I had alot on my plate. But that wasnt the case. Foir me I just got run down because I was not prepared for the class. I mean not mentally(because I studied like I have never studied before) but phyisically. I went from semester to semester of prerequisites until I reached the finish line to actually be admitted into the nursing program. When I got my letter I was so excited and nervous at the same time, and to boot it was christmas time. So I figured that I would except even though I was not prepared for what lies ahead of me. Now to fail exams was very heartbreaking when I was a really good student and did study. So this semester I am going to put it into high gear and move on; with that I have prior knowledge of what I need to do this time around. So if anybody else is having simular issues please post them here. Thanks.

I also had issue with studying and had to drop and now are reentering this semester. I couldnt figure out what I was doing wrong and took a horrible toll on me but I am ready for more punishment lol

OOOh that is exactly the field of Nursing that I want to go into. Depending on your area you can make decent money. But also you can help patients with addiction and mental issues etc. Do you volunteer at a facility to get some experience. They do require a little experience for that field. I plan to do some volunteer work or work at the facility that where my sister in law is a music therapist is at.

Many of the nurrses that i work with go onto their upper level degrees are a latter age. I do not say that 40 is to old to go to school. It is actually very young and since I am 34 and pursuing my RN am I then to old? NO I am not. For me I think that since we have had that life experience we will prosper. Dont worry about the other persons opinion. Especially if she is younger than you. As young people we have a tendency to say the wrong things(which I have done in my 20's). I say go for it!

I took micro it was very interesting and I even took it at home and great bacteria in my office lol are you taking it online

I totally agree for the first year student(from personal experience) It is not like a regular class. There is so much information being thrown at you for one test. That is why they say it is one of the toughest courses out there.

I am also starting this fall AGAIN ---We are only allowed to take Funds of Nursing 1 and no other additional classes. Also my class is on site on line. It sounds like everybody else has a heavy workload good luck. :redpinkhe

The first time I took it I failed but the parts I failed I didn't concentrate on I then took it on week later and passed.

Oh and I got accepted this semester and start tomorrow. Yay!
