    Motivated grandma replied to Motivated grandma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks! Yes, I'm aware of that. I already have the non-science courses needed (and a lot more than that LOL) , but will need the science pre-reqs. I plan on taking a year to finish those while I...

    Motivated grandma replied to Motivated grandma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My problem with doing the ADN program is that it will take well over two years just to get a couple of pre-reqs and meet the early deadline for admissions. Deadlines roll around at weird times, imo,...

    Motivated grandma replied to Motivated grandma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been thinking of doing the RN program, but it would be a couple of years before I could "start" a program. By the time I get my pre-reqs taken and meet the ridiculously early deadlines, it would...

    Motivated grandma replied to pfruechting's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just a "potential" nursing student, but some of my kids were adopted internationally. I would love to be a part of an organization that advocates for these

    I'm definitely going for it, but all of your replies have given me the confidence that I have a good chance of getting accepted. I KNOW I will do well once in the program, since have confidence in my...

    Motivated grandma replied to Motivated grandma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gee, I just appreciate the vote of confidence so much! Right now, I'm studying for the TEAS and THEA since I am applying to two different schools and they each require different exams. With some...

  12. What is needed to become an LPN?

    Motivated grandma replied to dscott76's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The courses really aren't the same. My daughter is in nursing school and had to take A&P I and II and other college-level sciences. The two lvn programs that I'm looking into only require one...

    Motivated grandma replied to Motivated grandma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks, everyone, for the vote of confidence. "The 2-year part time programs, I'd avoid. 2 years is too long to drag out a LPN course. The highest dropout rates are in the 2-yrs. It's better to just...

    Motivated grandma replied to Motivated grandma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll need to take nutrition and a special a and p class for allied health students prior to admittance, so I won't need the two semesters of regular A & P. I know I can do this. I just have...
