I start my nursing classes in 6 weeks and will be 52 when I graduate. Good luck to you and your husband. I loved A&P and am in micro now at night.

I have had lots of people ask me if I am going to be a 'male nurse' - I alway tell them I tried to be a female nurse but flunked the physical. I start in 8 weeks.

I think I will stick to nurse. Otherwise a female nurse should be 'furse'

Alex I still have to take micro so if you want to switch let me know LOL

Tell me the scoop. I start in Oct.

ADN programs aren't any easier to get into. We had over 900 apply for 120 openings to the CC I applied to. A 3.5 probably would not have made it. Apply to both and take the one you get. It's getting tougher to get accepted these days. I too was...

What is C-diff??

I am in IT also and after 20 years tired of the insecurity and outsourceing. I start nursing school this October and am really looking forward to it. Take all the pre reqs and go for it.

I am starting in October also. See you then.

Yep, I agree with you. I have lost my love of IT mainly because of the way we are currently being treated. Longer hours - no respect. I start nursing school in October. I too am looking forward to it.

I envoy you young guys. I made the decision to go into nursing at 49 and just got accepted into an ADN program at Macomb. Yes, they are tough to get into. Youth is wasted on the young. Samuel Clemens

I am in A&P right now and enjoy the class. I will be starting nursing classes in the fall but I am not sure of my exact start date yet.

The text book is around 100-115 and the lab book another 80 or so.

I am hoping to start my ADN at Macomb CC in Fall 2004. Currently employed in computer industry. My wife is in the MA program at Macomb and I want to enter the medical field also. I am 49 years old and have a daughter in 7th grade. I will be tak...

Thanks - I did get accepted at Macomb for the fall and anxious to get going. It's never too late to be what you might have been.

I currently work in the IT field and have for the last 20 years. With much of our work going overseas we have seen our workforce cut in half in the past few years and now they tell us that another 50% will be gone in one more year. I started lookin...

I am in also. Was very relieved and now very anxious to get started. Starting dates wont be out until May. See everyone at the orientation meeting.

I got my letter of acceptance on March 30 and was sure relieved. Luckily I wasn't home and my wife got to open it and then she called me. I would have been nervouse to open it also.

I hope I get into a class with women with your attitude. It will make nusing school a lot more interesting.

I am 50 doing prereqs right now and hope to start my ADN in the fall. After 20 years of programming computers I am looking for a change. Plus lots of our jobs are going overseas.

Yes, I am waiting for acceptance into Macomb but I will not know until April.

I am 49 year old male, in the computer industry, currently doing my prereqs and hope to start my ADN in the fall. My wife is currently pursuing her CMA We are both pretty excited about changing careers.

Yes, I know the selective admissions is pretty tough I am looking very good on GPA and test scores. Are you or any other students still able to work part time and keep up with the pace?

About A&P, several people have told me about Mr. Fields. I registered for the MW class Lab first. The book didn't say yet who taught the class. Now, I just have to wait for the ratings to come out in April and hope.
