Hello fellow Houstonian :) thanks for the reply! Do you happen to know about any of the cc in the area? I had my credits from UT but I live near Sugar Land. Thanks for your support!

I've noticed that trend and Houston Methodist doesn't hire ADN only BSN I've also noticed that there are tons of medical assistant job postings and Several RN job posting but no LVN jobs in our big hospitals!?! Medical imaging is also usually PRN this has got to make it be difficult for new grads.

I hope not but I honestly have forgotten a lot of it and to get into nursing school I will need to pass the entry test and I'm sure I'll need to know all the info in those basic classes *sigh* maybe some of it will come back to me and make it easier on my old self, lol!!

Yes, I meant start lvn school first and then after working apply for school to become an RN. There's a 12 month lvn program near me in Houston. i was also wondering if RNs are required to have their bachelors now? I really don't want to have to study up in math after 16 years and repeat all the basics :-/ i had great grades (As) in A&P 1&2 plus biology 1&2 and have taken most all of my basics.

Hi- I'm late in the game at 34 yrs old. My kids are finally in school all day and I want to finish my dream of becoming a nurse. What is the best way for me to do this at my age? Should I start as an lvn and get experience then go into nursing school and then possibly A masters? (Or am I too old for a masters now :-/ ) should I go directly into a BSN program? should I start in an ADN program then BSN if I want a masters? my previous college classes are all 13-16 yrs old so Will I have to retake everything? Thanks! If this falls through or I am too old, my dream of being a nurse will have to be forgotten and I guess I'll try to get an office job (like a paralegal). *Sigh* time please slow down!! im in Houston, TX!!! (So if you are here in Houston and know of good schools please share them with me) I've heard prairie view wasn't a good choice for some.

Hi, I'm a 34 yr old mother deciding to go back to school but id like to know before I decide to start how the shifts work in the nursing field? I had NO idea there were 12 hr shifts!? That would be difficult while having young children Is it a set shift upon hire or are shifts able to be changed? How flexible is the work schedule? How about working part time? What are the shifts like for that and is there a lower pay for part time? Thx! I'm in Houston if that makes a difference :-)

I am going to finish my degree and hopefully become an RN. My questions are: how much math is there in nursing school?? (i am not good in math and didn't do so hot in Chemistry) I made excellent grades in my other prerequisites (A&P, biology, micro etc) but it's been almost 8 years since i was in school so will i need to be "refreshed" on these subjects? Will i need to retake them? anyone has suggestions on this or been in my situation and gotten through it? Also, i have a 2 year old and a 1 year old right now. Is having 2 younger kiddos going to make me have a rough time? PLEASE, i need all the support and answers i can get.. thanks!

I have taken about 35 hours that I have credit for at a university in Texas. I had no idea what I wanted to do as a career but did know I liked the medical aspect so I took all biology, chemistry and anatomy/phys classes. It's been about 8 years since I have been in college and I want to know how do I start back up to finish what i started? I would like to be a Registered Nurse and be capable of obtaining a masters degree and go to school to become a CNA if I wanted. I'm not sure if I can take the rest of the classes I need at a cheaper school (not university) or If i should just stay in the university. I also can not get any information on how to start my schooling. I've called all the local universities and they say I have to be accepted and have a meeting with an advisor. Do i really have to wait till that point to be able to find out? CAn anyone tell me what degree i need to be a RN and if it will be able to work towards a CNA degree? I know it is tricky so I don't want to get the wrong degree.... confused! thanks for your help. reason I didn't finish school was because I got married moved away and had 2 babies back to back so now I am ready for school again :)

What is the study guide that everyone is talking about? Where do I find it? Thanks!
