  3. HELP choosing between 3 job offers, New Grad.

    How is your Child Care situation? From the descriptions I would pick the second one...I would pick the 1st choice, but not if I would be stuck on the second shift forever,as your childs needs change you may want to work a different shift.

  11. Possible to have a minor while in NS?

    I think that's a Wonderful idea! Do you pick up languages easily? Nursing school is HARD.You will be doing lots of studying so make sure that your second major is one that you can handle easily. You could also pick up exercise classes to get your cre...
  12. New here, just passed my Algebra

    It's already done so you can only reflect and move on from that grade.Take the time to really look at WHY you got that grade? Did you make enough time to study? Were you busy with the kids? Were you not motivated? Did you run out of time? Did you not...

  14. Help- what are the requirements for Truman College nursing!

    You should take as many of the classes as you can.If they accept people on a point system,someone who has those other classes would score higher than you and would have a better chance of being admitted. The school might also see you as more likely t...
  15. Is there any way that you can keep your job while pursuing nursing? Maybe part time With both..I Would not quit ANY job in this economy to go back to school because it seems really hard to get a job in most sectors.I understand having dreams,but the ...

  17. Please advise me on my choices

    I would apply to both PLUS all of the other schools with good pass rates.Nursing schools are HARD to get into because they have so many applicants.If you did get accepted to both I would choose Wright because from what you typed that's a 1+1 program ...
  18. Adek,I sent you a message about WIa....when does the program start in September? Towards the beginning or the end. @Smokey are you getting your CNA at Ambria?
  19. I would just say to do your research.There are other schools that are cheaper that do include the books..not sure if any school includes the uniforms though.When researching your future school you have to include EVERYTHING in the costs..even transpo...
  20. I'm curious about which fields are doing well at the moment.I love health care and I want to consider different parts of this field.But,I don't want to go back to school and then spend 2 years looking for a job.Thanks!
  21. The SAME thing happened to my friend.She was in a high level of math at her old college,but they told her she failed the math test...weird..Heck,she is MY math tutor lol and I passed the test at 2 other schools..
