Hi did you get the job? no one ever answered any questions.

If you want to become a public health nurse then yes, you should definitely get one especially one that offers that certificate.

Thanks for posting this! This is very inspiring. I am currently doing my RN to BSN at a state university with 16 week courses, and I am so burnt out already LOL, with work, school and this pandemic. I am not sure if I want to continue past my BSN, but your post has certainly inspired me to look into Capella University if I decide to. Thank you so much for sharing!

How long did it take you?

Hi I took a 3 year break after I got my BA, and then decided that I wanted to be a nurse. Its scary to go back to school, no matter how long you've been out of it. But I have realized some things as I have gotten older. When you are determined you always try your best. When I first started college fresh out of high school, i was not ready, I did ok my first semester, but 2nd semester I had relationship issues, and being young and dumb, i put those issues before school, so I dropped all my classes. I kept switching schools, because I kept following my bf, but when we broke up, I realized that I had just wasted valuable time. After that I got serious about school. Even more when I got married and had kids. It took me 7 years get my BA while I worked, but I did it. I think this had a lot to do with the fact that I was older, and had my children as a reason to motivate me to finish school. Just study hard, and dont give up. It might be a little hard at first but you can do it, dont doubt yourself. What I always recommend to people that are going back to school is it start their first semester with a light load, so as not to be too overwhelmed. I will be starting nursing school next Monday, so I am super anxious, excited and nervous, and I know its because of what everyone says that its super tough, and also because I know that these classes are going to be totally different to anything I will experience. But again, I know I will do good, as long as I give it my all. Good luck to you, and remember your older than you were fresh out of high school, your wiser, and you can do it!

I start in a week too... I constantly feel nervous, excited, nauseas, and it goes on and on like this... !

congrats!

Hi I am new here. Just wanted to tell you that I feel your pain... I tried to get into Anat 1 and I could not. There were only 36 spots, all were taken, 10 people on the waiting list ( i was not one of them ....) and 16 people trying to add. The teacher only took 3 people from the waiting list. I was soo disappointed. I feel like this will greatly set me back because I had a planned schedule for all my classes.. Now I will see where I can take Anat 1 for the winter.
