OBplease

I'm not there yet but I would like to be as prepared as I can, and make it go as smooth as it can for myself and my family. I'm wondering for those who are in a program and feel like it is going smoothly (as smooth as it could be anyway) and it's no...

How much time do you spend for homework and studying? Do you feel like you have adequate time to manage homework/reading/studying if you manage your time well? Do you feel like your homework is balanced throughout the week? In other words, does le...

Can anyone give me specifics on the difference in course work for LVN and ADN school. I know some say LVN is just the first year ADN but I'm thinking this may not be the case because I have viewed the semester schedule for the ADN schools and LVN sc...

I'm in Texas. I have all of the LVN and RN pre-reqs and co-reqs, with the exception of Micro., for my school and a couple of the closest schools, and a couple of extra classes. I am contemplating the best path for my family and I. I have a desire to...

I am ready to apply and am having a lot of self doubt. It all centers around my family. I just don't have faith at this point that I will be able to successfully get through the program with my kids. I know lots of people do it but I don't have mu...

cwongsang- Thanks again for the feedback. I'm hoping I can relax a bit with summer and get it back...or not. I just can't imagine feeling this way after wanting it for a decade and a half. I think I'm just exhausted from worrying about it. I'll h...

Thank you both. My kids will be 10, 7, 8, 5, 4. Four will be in school and 1 in preschool (it's a great place, which is great). I am just wondering, what do you do about sick care? Do you have time for Dr. appointments and school functions (like ...

...and heart broken. I have been in school for reqs. for 2 years, at the end of this semester. I have wanted to be a nurse for the last 17 years. I lack one class, which I had planned to take in the summer. I should be applying to my program A.S....

If you have not taken lots of extra classes and only those that apply to the current degree you are seeking maybe this will apply to you. I'm assuming if you still have 5 classes, you may have around 90 to 100 hours already. My adviser recently told...

So sorry for your frustration. Hope you get in next go around.

I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this and what your thoughts are. A program I was hoping to enter for LVN in Jan. (and then move onto ADN year after the required year working period) will now be figuring in the BSN pre-reqs. If I didn't get in...

I actually just found out from my BIL (who just started reqs. there) that some of the students from that school have backed out already because of the changing guidelines. He told me that they sighted making it easier for students to transition to a...

Ashley....The ADN reqs for most schools close to me are AP1, AP2, Micro, Gen. Psych., Psych-Lifespan, Sociology, English 1, Pharm., Nutrition, Med. Term., Arts, and Microcomputer Applications. A couple of those are just for my school, a couple are j...

I haven't been on here in a while. Had a couple of deaths and hospitalizations in the family and took some time off from the site to clear my head...or tried to. However, I'm still, after two years doing reqs. lost about if I should be going to nur...

dragonfly414- Thank you so much for your perspective. I have a great daycare. My youngest two go for preschool, while I do school and to be quite honest because I (and they) really have no one else we can depend on. I felt it best for them to have...

ixchel...I don't know what else to say except, you are right on all accounts. I really appreciate your pep talk and understanding. It's so hard to keep yourself going sometimes without support. It's hard to know how much is o.k. to put your family...

Thank you both for your perspective. Yes, I'm sure I'm worrying too much, mostly about my family. I had three hospitals stays with two of my children since Jan. and it was stressful worrying about who was going to take care of children. Our parents...

Another great one. Definitely spoke to mixed messages swirling around in my head. Thank you for helping me call attention to it.

I have no idea where I'm headed and when. I had planned to apply this application period which would have meant I would have started in summer or fall depending on the school. I did not apply though because I had two deaths in my family and withdre...

Pharm., Art., English, and Micro. These are the last of my reqs. I'm excited and trying to focus on making myself stay on schedule, so I don't get behind, and planning to hold on to my GPA. This will be the most hours I've done at a time and stick...

I have obsessively checking online to see if a section of Micro. opens up, and today, one did. I had been checking because that will be the last co-req. I will need. I snatched it. It had never occurred to me what, if anything, I would do to my sc...

I may change my mind. I bought my books on Thursday and I should learn a great deal from this Spanish class by the end, enough that I wouldn't be too upset if is the only one I got in before nursing school. However, by the second chapter of the boo...

Thank you for the feedback. As much as it would be nice to do it all, and I'm sure that I could, I think I will just go ahead and leave alone and pace myself. As I said earlier, this will allow me to fit more Spanish in, in the end, and still leave...

I know that Micro. is hard. I will take it Spring semester and will have nothing else but Spanish 2 to take with it. I really didn't have to have it this Fall for any other reason than it would have been nice to say I had it all done (It would have...

I'll just go ahead and answer my own question....just because I could, doesn't mean I should. It may not be crazy to do it but I guess it's really unnecessary. I'm going to go ahead drop the Micro. back off. I think a little bit of the "What ifs?" a...
