Thanks for posting this. I'm going to be in a similar situation. Although I haven't finished my pre reqs, I currently have a 4.0 in my pre reqs. I hope I can keep it. I'm happy to hear others are getting accepted into programs.

Most schools accept it, there is only one school I've found that specifically states online courses arne't accepted and when I inquired aout this, they told me they would require verification by the department (biology) from the school where you took...

I'm taking A&P I this summer with Psy235. I wanted to take it by itself, but I couldn't get my fin aid without taking 6 credits. I am expecting it to be difficult, but I am determined to make it work, somehow. I talked to previous students who...

This doesn't surprise me. Metro is adding more pre reqs also. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever finish, and if I do ever finish, if I'll ever even be accepted. But, I guess all I can do is continue on and try.

Well, I shouldn't have said opposite, I'm saying that thinking in terms of corporate desk job vs. patient care/helping career. I'll be switching from legal to healthcare.

I am not the OP of this thread, but I have a question about this. This information is for Regis, correct? I believe I saw that you were on faculty there. I'm currently finishing my pre reqs right now and plan to apply to CU, Metro, Regis and UNC. ...

Just reading these threads freak me out completely and I'm not even IN nursing school yet! I'm going to have a BOATLOAD of student loans when I graduate (second degree, career change) I'm not above working as a CNA or whatever position I could get h...

The market in Denver, from my understanding is really bad. I'm very, very worried about finding a job when the time comes, even though it will be a good 3 years before I even get to that point. The amount of nurses they are graduating right now com...

I graduated with my BA in 2002 (non science field) I have pre-requisites I need to finish before applying to nursing school. I am currently planning to finish my pre requisites at CCD. I've heard mixed reviews about this school. I decided on ther...

I'm new to the forum and have been reading up a storm on various threads and now I'm starting to freak out a bit. I have been considering a career change to the medical field for 5 years now. I WISH I would have done it 5 years ago, but I guess at th...

Thanks :) Where did you go to nursing school, tlapierre? I know things will be different when I finally get into and graduate from nursing school, whether it be better or worse, it will be different (and I'm praying for better right now!) I was hav...

Thanks! It does help! The hospice case manager position actually sounds like a great position! Not something I had really thought of, but one that sounds interesting to me none-the-less. Right now I think I would like a hospital job, as that is w...

Who should I talk to? When I talked to the last person (I think it was in volunteer services b/c I was asking about volunteer opportunities as well) they said they wouldn't arrange that for me, I had to know the person I was going to shadow and arra...

Thanks! I've done a lot of soul searching and I'm sure this is what I want to do. Sitting behind a desk and hating it made me start thinking about what I wanted out of life. I've done some volunteering (though I realize is a far cry from the actua...

Thanks! That's so nice of you! I did register for the inclass one. Since this is my first semester back and I've been out of college for 10 years, I figured since it was available and I could do it, I should. I'm sure it will help to be there in ...

An earlier Bio lab spot opened up so I registered for it. There is currently 3 spots available in the Saturday Stats class (as of the last time I checked). Should I drop my online class and get in the Sat. class? This will mean I'll be on campus o...

Oh gosh, the story about your friend has me freaked out completely! It's not that I'm not organized (I'm completely anal about being organized) but I am working FT plus some, I am a single Mom to a 2 yr old and taking these classes, I feel overwhel...

WOW! You are super prepared! That is awesome! Can I come study with you? Lol. I have never, in my life prepared that much for a class, even when I was in school FT the first time and also working FT...I should have though, it probably would have...

Who has taken Statistics online? I'm getting ready to start my pre reqs thsi spring and I'm taking statistics. I'm taking it online as the evening classes available didn't work with my schedule, and I'd prefer to take as much online as possible as ...

Ah, OK. Thanks. I'll admit I don't know much about the job market in nursing and how it works. I know for years it seemed like I was constantly hearing there was a nursing shortage and you could get a sign on bonus and work as much as you wanted. ...

Please forgive me (and move if necessary) I'm new here and just trying to figure out where threads should go. I was having a discussion with some nurse members on another (non nusring) board. It was stated that in a lot of states, it is already man...

That is true, and I'm hoping ti gets better, I'm just wondering if there will continue to be an influx of graduates in comparison to available jobs. Especially if people aren't finding jobs now, they'll be taking the jobs when they do open up. Is the...

Thank you! I appreciate your comment! You're right, that probably isn't the best terminology I could use. I have went back and forth on what specific field I wanted to go into for quite awhile, but am feeling more and more that nursing is probably...

Which school required it? I haven't found one that requires it yet, but I may not have looked at that school, I've only really looked at 4 schools in depth

Thanks, everyone. It's not mandatory for any school I'm applying to, but didn't know if it helped the process along. Though from what I've heard from others and read and was told by the schools it didn't really matter at all as to whether I was acc...
