I too have just started my pre-regs. I have an M.Ed and I was surprised how many pre-reqs I was required to take. My school only takes 20 students at at time in the fall and spring. Because there are so many students who want to take nursing the waiting list is long. My school has a point system that is very hard, you must make at least 35 points for admission and with all of my previous education I could not even score that with out the pre-reqs.

I am a CO at a correctional facility who is studying to be a nurse. I am sexually harassed daily when I am in the male housing units by new inmates who have came in since I have entered the POD on my last rotation. The COs at my facility stand beside the nurse during med pass and if they harass the nurse they loose their free time, tv, or canteen depending on their previous behavior. You have to learn to be tough tell them you will chop their wanker off in the bean hole flap and then file charges on them with the police. I had one persistent inmate tell me he wanted a relationship with me when he got out and I informed him that he would be back in the jail on charges from me, that was if he lived to make it back to the jail. I enjoy working in the correctional setting but if you do decide to go that route take on bit of advice from me.....GET A GUN AND A CONCEALED WEAPON LICENSE.
