Thanks for the fast reply ( I only posted the original @ 3:20AM! :) ) Actually I am just looking at what prerequisites I will need to take. I want to brush up on my math a litttle bit to place higher but everything else was good I think. At this point I have not yet applied for addmission. I have an appontment July 12th to meet with a career planner. One thought I had was to purchase a couple of the text books and read through them while I work on the prereq.s, to get a jump on memorizing things. Any idea what area of nursing you would like to work in when you get finished? I am thinking a hospital with maybe a trauma unit. Not sure yet. Thanks for your time- The Captain

Has anyone attended South Puget Sound Comm. College's Nursing program and if so what did you think of it? The Captain.

Thanks for taking time to reply to my post. I appreciate your input and it has been encouraging. Thanks Again! :) The Captain

Greetings- I am NOT a Nurse, but thought this forum would help me to make a decision. I Live in Shelton and am considering the Nursing course at South Puget Sound Community College. The reason is that I have 3 really bright kids. My wife homeschools them so we live on a single income. I make pretty good money (15.50) considering my education (High School, misc. college), so its a stretch to make ends meet. There isnt anything left over for savings or college so I have been thinking about other work. I used to be a volunteer fire fighter and enjoyed the Emergency Medical Response traning and thought maybe Nursing would help provide the security I'm looking for for my family and give me MEANINGFUL work. I am 43 now so w/ the education requirements it would 2-3 years before I would be able to look for a job. I know its a little late in life for this kind of course change- but I would appreciate any input. Thanks for your time. The Captain
