A mere two more weeks and it will then be all over but for the shouting. I'll then begin about six weeks of intense NCLEX prep. I've had a choice experience being in the nursing program at our college while my son was completing the police academy r...

I too am entering the nursing field as a second career. I have one more semester left to complete the RN program. The route that I chose was to take one or two of the pre-requisite classes at night. (14 in total) It took me five years to be able to ...

I'll add my voice to the chorus... I'm 53 and am two months into my RN program. I absolutely love the training and currently hold a 98% in the coursework. (My clinical group is just as driven to succeed as myself, and yet they are so fun to be wit...

It worked... I'm in !!!!! The only school that I applied to is 12 miles from my home; it's grads are routinely chosen over ivy league applicants; and the entire RN program costs $4700 ...with uniforms, books, and equipment included. I'm in heaven...

Our entire program here is $7400... this includes books and uniforms. There are 13 pre-requisite science and math classes that are required to apply for entrance @ $25 per credit-hour. Because of the cheap price tag, we had 550 applicants for 29 op...

I've held my CCW since 1982 and it in nowise effects one's licensure nor schooling in any way... go for it! We welcome you into the ranks of the sheepdog, keeping watch over the milling masses. 'Licensed to carry, licensed to care'

I begin our RN program in a few weeks... at 53. I maintained a 4.0 through school as I thought that it would offset my age during selection. This worked for me being accepted into the university's program, but I was also accepted into the local CC'...

I am 53, a retired cop, and was just notified that from 550 applicants I was chosen to fill one of 29 seats in the RN program beginning in January. Having a retirement income already under my belt, after graduation I will work full time as a voluntee...

I too will be starting my program in January as a second career. Over the last two years of completing prerequisites, I've noted that those attempting to hold down a full-time job tended to consistently receive one-to-two grades below those that com...

I just received my official acceptance letter for our ADN program. There were over 550 applications for the 36 seats. I knew the competition would be horrific, so I busted my rear in preparation... completing the pre-reqs with a 4.0 and an overall ...

I spent a career as a graveyard shift narcotics officer before retiring and beginning NS. You will get burnt out quickly if you don't make a concerted effort to ensure that you get adequate sleep. For me that meant an honest 8 hrs a day. It didn't...

My program begins in January... I'll be 53 before the training begins. I've spent the last two years completing prereqs after retiring as a cop.

. I'm taking both now and am half-way through the semester. I'm maintaining a 94 to 95 percentile average in each class, so it's doable. Micro is not even offered during the summer session here, as there are entirely too many inoculation/incubation ...

. Nursing job opportunities are now just like the real estate market... It's whatever your LOCAL market dictates it to be. We've had both new grads and seasoned RN's alike complaining that they've been actively searching for employment for over a...

And may I extend a like invitation to you and your defense of the lack of professional decorum to visit our fair jurisdiction... bring the wife and kids... You can give us a public demonstration of your tried and true tactics. "I sure hope...

Careful what you wish for doc... you just might get it. I would think that you'd be wiser than to brazenly step outside of the scope of your expertise, 'doctor'; but you know what they say about fools rushing in where angels fear to tread... I sp...

The 'cillin drugs act as an inhibitor to cell wall synthesis. They are effective against gram positive microbes which have a thick peptidoglycan wall. The gram negative microbes have an outer membrane of phospholipids which shield the cell wall fro...

It just might be that at the end of the day a few will have to swallow their egos and begin to distinguish themselves properly as physicians... the AACN and AANA have published their positions endorsing the adoption of a doctorate as the entry leve...

The program is being EXPANDED in our area... the ADN graduates are being chosen to fill the few openings that local hospitals still have over BSN graduates, as this program provides more than twice the clinical experience that the four year NS incor...

.Please check with the administrators within the program that you are hoping to enter BEFORE retaking a lot of your classes... our college allows but ONE repeated class to still remain eligible to apply for the RN program. There is a young lady in...

Unlike the universities, many of the community colleges here in California are using a lottery system rather than a GPA based competition for admittance. The ones that I am familiar with require a 2.5 minimum GPA in the core science prereq's and a re...

Likewise here... it's funny what a little focus can do. We're a month into studies and our Micro instructor just posted our grades and class standing. This gray-haired old man is 1st among our 80 student classes. WooHoo!! ...talk about an ego st...
