I am a single mom too, and when I considered going into the medical field, two of my first choices were Radiology Tech or Ultrasound Tech, for the exact same reasons (medical field and quick...
Having been a child and now a mom, I would have to say that it's fun not listening to your parents and swimming is exciting. I know to this day, every time I see a pool, all I can think is...
If that were me, I would send an email to the Dean of that Department. Attach a test and in a calm manner, tell him/her exactly what was confusing to you. If other students feel this way, give them...
I'm with you. Single mom, doing pre-reqs, working full-time. I am going to apply for the evening NS program. They really want you to focus on school, so they will discourage you to work. But I think...

Since I am not going into nursing school until next fall (2010), I decided to take all my pre-reqs and some co-reqs to eliminate some of the stress and pressure once I get into NS. So my Fall semester...
Thanks Guys, you just saved me! I wasn't sure about the pre-reqs, so I checked. I have to take A&P I before I can take Micro!!! So it looks like I'll be taking A&P I, General Psych, and...
:sofahider: I don't know. Maybe I should just switch out Nutrition, and focus on A&P and Micro? My job offers a lot of down time. I know I can get a good 3-4 hours of studying in a day, just here...
Hey Everybody; So...I am a single mom of a 6 year old boy, work full-time in as an Office Manager, and want to become a nurse. I realized that I wanted to become a nurse when my nephew was born - 16...
