  1. Online Anatomy class with lab!

    thecareerchanger replied to kaseyrose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with TriChick. I took my anatomy classes online through State university of new york, Cayuga Community College and while cheating is possible it is not easy because of the way things are...

  2. 35 and looking for a career change - is nursing it?

    thecareerchanger replied to mamab3's topic in Nursing Career

    I say go for it if you feel its something you. I am not a nurse either but do know from this site and from friends and family that are nurses that it can be a high burn out job if you are not careful....

  3. Suny downstate abs program - need advice from current students!

    thecareerchanger replied to sohokat's topic in General Students

    I would like to know as well. I am not applying yet (may not apply until later this year for 2016 or next year for 2017) but I have 3 kids so I need to know. My kids will be about 12 or 13, 7 or 8,...

  4. Too old for BSN?

    thecareerchanger replied to forever88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are not old. Not even close. I am 34 (will be 35 in spring) and doing pre requisites now and probably won't enter an ABSN program until I am 36 or 37. I only decided 2 years ago I wanted to be a...

  5. Online vs Classroom?

    thecareerchanger replied to andiescandies's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently taking online classes and I love it. I like that I can go to school on my time. I also have other obligations that make in- person class difficult right now. As for taking online labs,...

  6. Suny Downstate accelerated Program 2015-2016

    thecareerchanger replied to Tacokrunch's topic in School, College Programs

    For those who were accepted to downstate what type of health care experience do you have? I work full time and have a family so I was trying to do a few hours on Sundays for volunteering but a few...

  7. Any older students?

    thecareerchanger replied to Dodie_A's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am 34 with 3 kids and I work full time. I find it harder than it was the first time around (I already have a non-nursing degree) but I think that has to do with having more on my plate than my age...

  8. Second bachelor's degree nursing

    thecareerchanger replied to baikh321's topic in General Students

    I would recommend taking pre req courses at a community college and transferring them in. I would recommend trying to get healthcare experience if possible. I am certainly no expert as I am going...

  9. Completing Pre-Req's after I finish my first Bachelor's Degree?

    thecareerchanger replied to SupermommyNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ditto with the other posts: Finish your degree, move, then complete pre-req at a community college in NC and then apply for programs afterwards. Good

  10. Lehman Nursing Pre-Requisites

    thecareerchanger replied to nifty_n's topic in New York Nursing

    I would advise going to cuny.edu and reviewing schedule of classes. It gives you an idea what classes are available for each semester. Just do a search under your CUNY college of interest (in this...

  11. Advice Needed from Older Students/Nurses

    thecareerchanger replied to sweetbriar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you must work you have two options: Continuing working full-time and go to nursing school part-time at night via ASN program or go to school full-time (BSN or ABSN) and work part-time. Right now I...

    thecareerchanger replied to cas823's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Currently taking A&P II online (took A&P I last semester online and got B+). I am taking online courses for prerequisites because I have young children and I work full time and I like going to...

  13. Lehman accelerated BSN students/alumni

    thecareerchanger replied to thecareerchanger's topic in New York Nursing

    I am considering applying to both the accelerated and generic program when the time comes because it may be easier to do internships and obtain part time employment. I am also thinking of taking a...

  14. Lehman accelerated BSN students/alumni

    thecareerchanger replied to thecareerchanger's topic in New York Nursing

    Thank you so much Destin293! It sounds really brutal. I asked about student life but the reality is I have a family so I probably would not be a traditional student anyway. I live in Queens and I...

  15. 88% in A&P 1

    thecareerchanger replied to pinkrain94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished A&P 1 too and got an 88% which is B+. Not too happy since I was aiming for A of course...I am going to take A&P 2 in Fall so I figure I have time to work on "weak spots" so...

  16. Human Growth and Development

    thecareerchanger replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took it online through psychology and found it fairly easy. Just keep up with readings and do papers and assignments timely and you will be fine. I got an A. Taking A and P 1 online now and find it...

  18. Are you going to work while in nursing school?

    thecareerchanger replied to vettechtoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If accepted into nursing school (currently taking prerequisites one at a time) I will have to quit my full time position as it is a 9-5, M-F type job and that would not work for me, in addition to...

  19. Anatomy and Physiology Online

    thecareerchanger replied to bkburgos1326's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. The semester's wrapping up, how did you do? What's next?

    thecareerchanger replied to ShelbyaStar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished lifespan developmental psych and got an A which is great since I got 2 As in prereq so far (in the Spring semester I took psych 101 and got an A as well). In the Spring 2014 I will be...

  22. Did being a CNA make you NOT want to be a nurse anymore?

    thecareerchanger replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In high school I took a CNA course and we did internships in both a local nursing home and hospital. I loved CNA training and I thought the hospital internship was interesting but hated the nursing...

  23. Too quiet to be a nurse?

    thecareerchanger replied to haileyjewell's topic in General Students

    I am pre nursing student (changing careers) but I was always shy and somewhat introverted but that has affected my career in human services. I would guess the same would be said about me when the time...

  25. If you have kids, when do you study?

    thecareerchanger replied to mz23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I study at night usually. I have 3 children ages 3, 4, and 9 and they all generally go to sleep around 9 - 9:30. My youngest is the night owl but even he is usually asleep by 10 the latest. I try to...
