Wow thanks for ALL the responses! Sorry i'm so late checking them, I forget to get on here most of the time. All of your suggestions were great! Kudos to TERESASUPERMAMA for having 7! And you are doing it all. Wow. That amazes me. This makes me believe I can easily do it with ONE. That's awesome. Right now for community college I definitely feel like I have plenty of time for my school work. My concern was what will happen after community college?! I've been lazy on becoming very organized but I plan to take most of your suggestions on the planners and organizational tips and getting used to doing that NOW so that next year isn't as hectic. Surprisingly i talked to someone who is in the middle of nursing school right now and she told me how impressive the moms are there. She said its crazy bc the ones who drop out or fail typically aren't the single moms who are working full time; she said so far none of them have flunked out. She's like idk how in the world they do it! But i guess being a mom can be a plus because it gives us that drive. And CAELLEN, I'm at St Charles community college! So we are pretty close. I'm in A&P 2, and psych. After this semester I'll have 5 classes to go. I can't wait! And great idea on the daycare tips. I'll be planning on doing that next semester, like leaving him there a cpl extra hours while i stay in school and study. That should really help! GL everyone!! Hope to see those couple of you at Goldfarb in 2013 :)

Thanks alot! :)

I know two ppl who are currently in micro, and they said it seems to be easier so far than A&P2. Not sure why exactly but to be honest I don't know too much of what microbio consists of. In my opinion it seems like less info or memorizing than A&P. But this is just my guess. Bottom line, it's not a reason to make or break it for you! If you want to become a nurse I wouldn't let that class shy you away. I haven't heard awful things about it :)

I'm sure there are many moms out there who are also planning on attending an rn program! I'm currently finishing up my pre reqs to start my 2013 spring nursing program. And I'm so worried about juggling study time with my son. He will be 3 in a cpl months. I love him to pieces but for example, tonight I have been struggling with getting to study for a test I have tmrw. I know it can be done! And many women with more than 1 have accomplished getting their bsn as a mom, student, and employee. Any advice?! Time management tips, etc.... I work 3 days a week, go to school 2 days, and the rest off for the most part. It's hard because my fiance works nights so I'm the one who has our son the majority of the time (also bc he sleeps during the day) Thanks in advance!!

We just did a sheep's heart! I've also done a sheep's eyeball which, if you haven't done that yet, it's the grossest!

thanks for your reply! Yes Chamberlain also offers an accelerated program. I've been so ecstatic about Barnes, that unless something falls through there I'm going to stick with them! I just got my acceptance letter officially and my place held for the spring 2013 term. Expected grad date is may 2014. Not bad!I can't believe I'm getting closer!

I'm with absolutely everyone else! Apply to a different school. I've never heard of anything like that before! None of the nursing schools in my area do things that way. And it's incredibly unfair. I'd say you're better than that school and they don't deserve you. Congrats on your 4.0 and don't give up! Esp just because you're a male. That doesn't matter. Best of luck to you!!

Oh really...hmmm...ok thanks! I've actually heard the same. A couple great things from some, but not so good from others. So there hasn't been much consistency on the positives for Chamberlain.

Hi! I'm new to this site, and this is my first post :) I'm wondering if anyone can help me in my decision between Barnes Goldfarb nursing school or Chamberlain. I just got the call from Barnes today that I'm accepted! So that's very exciting. I have 2 or 3 semesters left of pre reqs and would be starting Jan 2013. But I also planned to apply to Chamberlain as a backup. When I first researched schools I had my heart set on Barnes, but then became interested in Chamberlain. Does anyone know the pros/cons...? I feel like this will be a tough decision. Also, like most nursing students now I'm a mom to a 2 year old and also work. So I'm wondering if one program is a little more accelerated or tougher than the other? I know nursing school in general won't be a breeze and I don't expect it to be, but I'd like to go for one that I could hold a job with. And I was told by a Goldfarb advisor that you're basically monday through friday full time between classes and practicals. Any advice would be very much appreciated!!! Thanks in advance:)
