Kinda in your shoes (read your other posts about concerns with family time). I hope to start the nursing program at 28 years old Fall 2013. I've been married for a year now and will hopefully finish the nursing program when I'm 30. Then I want to wo...

Please Please double check the status of your application; even if this means getting someone on the phone or going there in person to walk through your application. I am not/have not applied to Howard's nursing program, but I applied to another he...

Don't know if you're asking about a specific school (I look at postings under "what's new") but I would strongly recommend not taking it online unless you're great at chemistry. I was a bio major in college and remember this being my most challengin...

Your grades are good. You probably didn't get in because it's an evening program, which is very competitive. I'd say your best bet is to apply to a regular RN program (with day time classes) and cut back your work a few hours. I'm also a career chan...

WOW. It's good to know I'm not alone. Hopefully, I will be 28 when I start my RN program. I'm one of those 2nd career changers too. I wanted to do nursing back when I was in undergrad school but my family members are the ones who talked me out of it ...

I have the same question. I think people may be misinterpreting the person's post. She's asking if RN experience (will take years) + her current Masters will make her a candidate for a nurse manager in the future. Sounds like she's planning ahead. ...

Thank you so much!!! Now I understand. Well that gives me a little hope--the fact that there's one group that has Saturdays. I'm hoping I can find a younger college student who doesn't want her clinicals on a Saturday. (I'm a 3rd degree seeking stud...

Hi all, I'm trying to understand the nursing school schedule to plan ahead. I still need to make an appt with a counselor. For NUR 111, I looked up the Fall 2012 schedule so I can plan ahead: NUR 111 LEC - Mondays - 12:30pm-6pm (does this mean you'r...

Wow didn't realize how long it's been since I've been on this board. Well my final is next Monday. It was a good semester! I expect an A in A&P I but I feel like an A+ is possible. Our prof gives extra credit and I got over a 100 on the past exam...

I had my first exam on Monday. I think that I did well. I want to second china graves point...it's all memorization. I'm kinda familiar with these type of classes and study routines (bio background) but i'm sure everyone can do it! I find it very h...

Hi all I've been reading this board for a while. It has taught me a lot. I know there are several posts like this but wanted to get your thoughts: After much debate over NVCC's ADN program vs Marymount's Accelerated BSN program--I've decided on NVCC....

I've taken statistics, finance, and accounting in undergrad and grad school but haven't had algebra since maybe high school. Needless to say, I'm a little worried about the math section of the TEAS and probably need a refresher. In general, I'm dece...

Thanks so much! You are answering all of my questions :)

I already took micro, chemistry in my previous degree. I just need to meet the A&P requirement for NVCC's nursing program. I'm debating between BIO 141/142 and the NAS 161/162 courses. Which should I take? I kind of don't want a review of someth...

Thanks for the feedback. I have micro, chem, and a bunch of other bios from my previous Biology degree from Mason. One of the accelerated programs I applied to in the area (plan is NVCC but applied anyway) doesnt take 141/142 but accepts NAS 161/162....

I'm in a similar situation as you (already have BS and MS in another field). I say go straight for the BSN if you can. My issue is all but one of the schools in the DC area are expensive so I'm taking the long route: ADN then RN-BSN program. Best wi...

oh okay. Thank you!

LOL ok. I think I've pretty much eliminated MU because its so expensive. How on earth did you pay for it? If I didnt already have previous student loan debt I would've considered a loan.

U say u count on GMU b/c you cant work p/t with NVCC's program. I think the Accelerated BSN at GMU will be more to handle so u definitely cant work during that and it costs more than NVCC. I may be misinterpreting your statement :) Yea, I am a GMU al...

Yes, I plan to enroll as soon as I complete the ADN. I was agonizing over this very thing last night! I looked up several schools in the area that offer RN-BSN. Honestly, I just see myself going to GMU (I'm a 2-time alum (BS/MS) so I'm pretty comfort...
