Thanks everyone. Very helpful! One LAST question. Does anyone know what math class I can take at CCBC to satisfy the math pre-req? The math 115 basic math for the sciences? I was looking at the course descriptions at CCBC and it doesn't look like that offer an equivalent. I took 101 at Towson but I'm sure that won't fly. Thanks!

Thanks so much! This makes so much sense. Do you think I will need to take a math class before I take chemistry? I haven't had chem. since H.S. but it requires a lot of math right? Do you think I can skip Nutrition? It looks like some programs require you to take Nutrition. Also, did Towson require an entrance exam? Cheers. Soren

Anyone know the exact pre-reqs for Towson for those with a B.S. already? I found the website to be quite vague. It mentions 4 science lab classes but does not specify classes. I figure AP I and II are a given but does it matter whether the other two are Chem. or Bio.? Also, I'm a graduate from TU with a B.S. in Psychology and a B.S. in Philosophy. Is it possible to take MicroBio without Intro to Bio and not be totally lost? Way back when, I just took the easy way out with Science and Math at TU, so my background in these areas are limited. Would I have a better chance of getting to TU since my undergrad is from here? Or should I press more for Univ. of MD? They seem to have more pre-reqs though. BTW my overall GPA was 3.057. Is that horrid? No harm in doing the pre-reqs at CCBC right? Thanks. Soren

Dear SMS. May I ask you where you did the Entry to Practice program? The only one I found in New York was Columbia. I'm really interested in doing this in a year and didn't know it was possible. Thanks.

I am new to this site and have found the information very useful and terrifying at the same time. I have my undergrad degree in Psychology and Philosophy (92) and have had a really successful sales career over the last decade (top %3 in my field). But I've always found sales to be really empty on a spiritual level. Several personal heroes of mine are RN's and I want to pursue this path. Where does someone with a B.S. in another field begin? I didn't have ANY bio, chemistry or anatomy for my first degree. I just paid off all my debt from the first half of my life and am not willing to incur a LARGE student loan so I guess schools like Columbia and NYU are out. I use the word terrifying because several threads have mentioned that getting into schools like Hunter are next to impossible. I just turned 40. Am I too old for these shenanigans? Would I be looking to acquire a BSN? Would I be able to continue to work and work on this degree? What would be the first step? To take the pre-reqs like anatomy, ect. at a local school? How would I know if they would transfer? Sorry but please help. I know there will be a karmic reward in it for you for sharing your wisdom and time. Cheers.
