I'm glad I saw this just what I needed to read I've been talking myself out of going back to school lately mostly because I'm scared of all the what ifs. Thank you for sharing.

Does Women & Infants have a volunteer baby cuddler program?

Thank you for your advice! I have looked into volunteering at hospitals in my area, and right now they all only want someone to come in certain days of the week. Unfortunately it's the same days and hours I need to work at my ft job. I'm going to keep looking. I'm thinking of inquiring at smaller practices and health care facilities. Congrats on your acceptance.

I need a ton of advice I'm in the early stages of planning the start of a nursing career. I have a year of prereqs to complete before I can apply to any program. Here's my story I first graduated college nearly 7 years ago with a bachelor's in biology. I worked in a lab and as a lab educator for a short time. The last 4 years I have been working in childcare. The last two years I've felt a strong pull towards nursing and this last year have started working on prereqs. I'm mostly taking classes I missed the first time around and retaking classes I didn't do well in because I didn't take college as seriously as I should have the first time around. Ultimately, I want to be a pediatric nurse practitioner I am unsure of how to get there. I do not have a medical or healthcare background at all and I think that will hurt me as an applicant even for a direct entry programs. Aside from grades and test scores, what are some ways I can boost my application? Would it be better for me to take the 18 month to 2 year route and become an RN and then apply as opposed to going the direct entry route. I will also need to work while in school no matter what educational path I pursue.

Can someone in the e health program tell me what the lecture and clinical schedule is like? I
