I am currently learning a bit about anatomy before registering for the actual anatomy class this spring and am just about to begin studying it. But I was wondering if it was difficult for any of you to memorize/learn the systems and their functions? ...

I will be taking 3 classes, possibly 4, but for now it's: Anatomy (my JC only offers A/P separately) Nutrition Sociology & possibly speech. I will also have a 5-6 week old when the spring semester starts, along with my 3 yo! Thank goodness I don...

I am just curious as to how many hours everyone studies for the pre-req's each semester. I am doing ok in my current class, but want to make sure I get at least a 3.0 gpa; currently take pre-req's for the core science courses. So how many hours do yo...

I am due to take anatomy/physio next semester, but don't know which I should take first. At my JC they are seperate classes. Which was harder/easier for you? I think I will enjoy both, but would like to take the easiest first since I will have a newb...

Thank you for your responses. I also figured Anatomy would be easier to take before Physiology. Do you think it would be okay and not too overwhelming to take and online Nutrition class, which is only 2 months and an online Sociology class? I figure ...

hello all, i just want some opinions on how to schedule next semester. spring (jan 2011) is coming so fast and classes are up. i am a 25 yo with a son who will be 3 yrs jan 7th and i am due with my second dec 13. i do plan on continuing my pre reqs...

I am taking Biology right now along with a pre reg math class. But I am also 35 weeks pregnant with my second child, but if I didn't have children, which I don't know if you do, I think it might not be bad together. Biology is pretty easy, but I've h...

That is really great! You are a reminder to continue going no matter how long, how many tries or who says it's not for me! Congrats! And good luck with RN school.

Hey there Yuba students. I just wanted to say hello and wish you all well for this semester and your RN career. I can't wait to apply. I am doing pre req's right now and hopefully it will fly by. I still have awhile, but it's great to see others from...

I am still young, 25, but need some stories of encouragment. I have a 2 yo son and am due with my 2nd little one in December. I am registered for fall classes at my local college and will continue to take my pre-req's until I am done. I always kick ...

Thanks for the reply! Good luck to you this fall! I do believe I will bite the bullet and challenge myself a little and add another class. I am sure once the semester has ended I will be proud.

I am watching. I am currenlty enrolled at my CC for pre req's and wont' be able to apply to the nursing program until 2012. I don't want to wait so long, but it may be best as I have a toddler and one on the way. I have bills and don't think getting ...

I am just wondering do any of you have little ones at home also? I do, he is 2.5 yo and I am currently 22 weeks preggo. I am working PT well it's about 60 hrs a pay period and will only be taking 2 classes. Math 50 (Algebra) and Bio 15 (intro to bio)...

I know many, many people do it, but I am wanting to know how do you do it? I am 25, 26 this Dec and have a 2.5 yo and another on the way and I am worried about losing hope or motivation to continue on this career path. I have always wanted to be a RN...

I am looking for some motivational stories of mommy's or daddy's who are in or plan on going into a nursing program and how you do it? I mean how do you not get super stressed? How do you handle school, work, and home life? I am 25, 26 this Dec and I...

Thank you so much for both your responses. I want to continue this path and do it for my kids and as quickly as possible, but I know the time with my babies is very important and I will never get it back. It will all work out, I am sure.

I know many have and I want to hear your stories. I will be going this fall and will be due to delivery my 2nd child the same week of finals. I am sure he/she will be overdue as my first was a week over. I am going to go, but how was it for those of ...

My advice to you would be to only do what you can. I know how you feel. I have a 2yo and just recently found out I am pregnant and I really want to take a pre req during summer, but I also work. I am going to take classes in the fall and will be due ...

It's only a 6 week class, but I am a bit worried that I will not do well because of too much info in such a short amount of time. I do want to get this out of the way so I can take my A&P classes. Should I just take it in the fall or do the fast ...

That's what I should have done, got it done early. Good for you! and good luck with the rest of NS. How old or young, I should say, are you?

Thank you very much. I know there are many who feel the same as me and yes, it is just that; it eats at me more than anything that there are kids who did do already what I should have done and I see they are my age or younger and have been an RN or a...

Thanks for all your encouraging words! I know there are tons of folks out there who decide to buckle down later in life and I think it's great to still have the motivation and still want it at any age. I know I am young, but the years pass so quickly...

Hey there, I know this is very old, but I was wondering if you ever got into a program or had trouble getting the loan?

Hi Elorraine11, I, too, am thinking of going to Unitek in Jan. What campus are you looking at? I am looking into the Sacramento campus. I am currently in school at a CC, but don't want to wait for all the pre reqs and then that great wait list! Pleas...

hi! i am also new to this site and like you, looking to start my nursing career. i am in ca and researching different schools now while finishing my pre-req's at my local jc. what type of program are you going into, i mean, a jc(waiting lists?) or l...
