I'm back in school for my MSN @ 68 & hope to go on for FPN! You do know that 70 is the new 50 right🤗

Congrats!! Can you tell me if they are still requiring Fundamentals of College Math? I heard somewhere that it has been dropped? But you still have to take Statistics? Thank for your comment

Thank you 'The Commuter' I can't wait to begin the program! Are their any other changes in the program?

The Cummuter, How did you hear about WGU not requiring the math assessment? Is this really true?

Can anyone answer this question, when is old to old in nursing? And is it feasible to return to nursing if your older?

Hi, Well I was 28 when I started nursing as a LPN I went back to school when I was 45 for my diploma RN I am now 66, and guess what I'm doing? Going back to school for BSN! It will probably take me until I'm 70, but I don't care! I love to learn & grow in knowledge! It keeps your mind strong & productive And you never know when you may need to use your skills! In fact, I'm planning to use my education as a Faith Community Nurse! Happy trails everyone!

LOL! Well hear we go again! Back to team work!

Please continue with your story! From another Diploma RN!

I'm sorry this was posted on the wrong topic.

I see that to be a Parish/Faith Community Nurse you must have a BSN to take the course through the university's and through Parishnursing.org site! If the new standards and roles say this, how can I ( Diploma RN ) become a Parish Nurse? Thank you for your answer

Thank you Starintn for your information. By chance, do you know of anywhere in Columbia that would allow me to work on a volunteer basis, to gain some confidence & experience, as I have been out of nursing several years & would like to work again in this capacity.

Awesome Wrench Party! How did you get into this job? I'd love to find something like this too. Not many places would allow you to do hands on nursing. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

Would an RN with past experience in the hospital setting, be able to volunteer or maybe have a preceptor for a future job? Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

Has anyone heard about hospitals refusing to hire RN's that have returned to hospital nursing following more than a years absence? Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

Aflower1325 What would you recommend taking ICD-9 & ICD10 together? Hospital Coding? I am an RN, but interested in doing Coding. Not sure which way to go at it! Do you take AACP courses or AHIMA courses? What did you do? Would you take auditing also? Is it all necessary to have the complete package for employment. Would like to work from home, my husband is ill. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com
