  1. Paying for Pre-requisites - the Cost of Nursing Training

    LifeIsGood76 replied to elzabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in a similar situation. I have used up all of my pell grants and loans with my first degree that I am not eligible for anymore. I have no other option but to go to a community college to get my...

  2. How likely is success in summer classes?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm nervous too! I'm taking Chemistry and Anatomy during an 8 week summer session. Thankfully, I have the summer off from work, but I have 4 kids and a husband. I hope we survive,

  3. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    LifeIsGood76 replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is so cute!!! I think having our children see how hard we work to accomplish our nursing goals is so awesome. I can't wait for my kids to see me on graduation day! I want them to know that...

  4. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    LifeIsGood76 replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am really enjoying this thread! Unequaledbeauty30, I work as a teaching assistant and have always planned on finishing my teaching degree, but like you, I just don't feel the passion anymore. I am...

    LifeIsGood76 replied to meganko27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awesome!! Congratulations! I am so happy that it worked out for

  7. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    LifeIsGood76 replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you guys planning to do an ADN or BSN program? I am planning to do an ADN program, and eventually do an RN-BSN bridge

  8. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    LifeIsGood76 replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I like this idea! I'm 36 and am finishing up my prerequisites as well. I still need Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, and Developmental Psych. I am hoping to take Chemistry and Anatomy...

  9. Who else doesn't have or need nutrition class as their pre req?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to Studyhardpls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in CA. I don't have nutrition as a pre-req either (although I have taken it already). I think all the programs are different. Some programs in my area want you to have physics, or statistics,...

  10. The Letter

    LifeIsGood76 replied to picklemouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cogratulations!! How exciting! I can't wait until I get that "letter" (although I have two more semesters until I can even apply). I loved your comment: "I don't care if he dies in his video game....

  11. Didn't get in, now what?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to iheart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would apply to an ADN program through a community college. Then, do an RN-BSN bridge program later on. That is what I am doing. Yes, an ADN isn't as desirable as a BSN, but at least you can start...

  12. A&P 1, microbio, & psychology

    LifeIsGood76 replied to cannolis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for the update janellybelly. I have four science pre-reqs to go, and want to get them done by the end of Fall semester so I can apply to the nursing program in Spring. I plan on taking...

  13. Anatomy & Physiology I/II Summer 2013

    LifeIsGood76 replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am planning to take my Anatomy class and Chemistry class at the same time this summer. (My school has Anatomy & Physiology as separate classes). I am nervous that I won't be able to handle it...

  14. Where do you suggest that I go from here?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to arianna.lee23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say LPN as well. Then when you are in your new location you can do an LPN-RN Bridge program. I wouldn't do the pre-reqs, because some schools (like the one I am going to) requires that you do all...

  15. CNA schedule and Nursing School

    LifeIsGood76 replied to peachshan's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow! Wanderlustgirl, that is a crazy schedule! Do you have any children? Are you completely burnt out, or do you feel ok? I currently work as a teaching assistant and am taking my nursing pre-reqs...

  16. How old were you when starting prereqs and did it discourage you?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to princesax11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    determined_30, we are in a similar situation! I have 4 children also, and my youngest will be starting school this coming year. I only have my sciences left too. I'm 36, and if everything goes as...

  17. Public colleges vs. Private colleges?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to heather0315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good question! I'm not really sure, but I know some of the "trade" schools are looked down on, but if it is a legitimate private school, I don't think people would look down on that. I'm sure it...

  18. school,work,child

    LifeIsGood76 replied to aperry05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really is up to what you can handle. Also, if you have a good support system. I don't know if you are married or not, but your husband/significant other needs to understand that you will need...

  19. Could I work in a laboratory with a nursing degree?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to Tali_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How interesting, I am debating between the two careers as well. I really think I would enjoy lab work better, but those jobs seems to be far and few between. However, there seem to be multiple RN...

  20. Summer Classes

    LifeIsGood76 replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nurse2b7337, yes, I have 4 kids (ages 14, 9, 6, and 4). I feel bad that our summer is going to be spent with me going to school, but it is worth it. I work as a teaching assistant, so I have the...

  21. Summer Classes

    LifeIsGood76 replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Anatomy, Chemistry, and Sociology. Fun

  22. Can't even get classes.

    LifeIsGood76 replied to mintygirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I am in the same exact situation! I live in Victorville (High Desert) and attend Victor Valley Community College. I have been trying to get into Anatomy for a year! The thing that sucks is...

  23. Is an LPN program better than continuing with pre-req classes?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to Mmclark1979's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say continue with your pre-reqs for the RN program. The reason I say this is I have heard that some areas are beginning to phase out LPNs. I'm not sure if this is true for all areas. Also, it...

  24. Anatomy and Physio online. CA

    LifeIsGood76 replied to janiney77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since you already have your BS, why don't you go for your MSN? I don't know where you live in California, but there are several schools that have an entry-level MSN program (which means you can have...

  25. Can't seem to catch a break!! Will I ever get into a program!!

    LifeIsGood76 replied to long2beanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel your pain. It seems like there is always one obstacle after another. I would talk to your school. Maybe if you start the Hep B shots and have a doctor's note saying you have appointments set...
