Thank you for the input I'll try asking my Anatomy prof?

Yea, I'm 60 and proud of it. I was a single Mother and didn't have the money or time to go to school. When my Daughter graduated college I decided it was time to make more money that I was at various jobs. Because I worked for myself for so long I don't have any social security of retirement benefits to fall back on. You try living on $200 a month...That's all I would get so no, I don't want to work until I die but I need to have a good job for at least 10 years. Be glad you aren't in the same situation...

I would really appreciate some input from some working nurses. I have completed all my prereq for the nursing program but now I'm hesitant to continue with nursing program. Here are my dilemmas: I have a 'B' average not all 'A's'; I'm 60 years old; it seems the surgical technology people make as much as nurses so I'm starting to lean that direction; I don't know if surgical tech people can have part of their student loans repaid like nursing; the surgical tech program has lots of openings; EVERYONE says the nursing classes are really hard! I have to make a decision really soon and I don't know which way to go?? Please, please any advice?

I took the NET exam 10/01. I used the 'study guide for the net, the hobet, the help entrance tests by Educational Resources, Inc. I purchased it at our college bookstore for $44.50. I especially liked the begining of the book called test taking stratagies. I actually didn't study before hand but I would recommend reviewing math before you take it. My school's test included lots of fractions. Best of luck and don't stress too much.
