  1. Do you have to complete all pre-reqs before applying?

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

    It depends on your school. My school requires you to finish all of them before applying. You can't even be currently taking any pre-requisites, you have to have finished all of them. Good

  2. Hello!

    LifeIsGood76 replied to findingme02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, and welcome! Check with your school's financial aid department. The first step is to file a FAFSA. You may qualify for Pell Grants and student loans. Depending how much your tuition is, you can...

  3. Good "non-prerequisites" classes to take before nursing school?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to tczapp88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Right now I am taking Medical Terminology and Basic Arrhythmia while I'm waiting to get into Anatomy next semester. I have to say, I think both of these classes will really help me. Good

  4. Making it happen!

    LifeIsGood76 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck! I just started doing my science pre-reqs and just that step has gotten me excited and feeling motivated! I probably won't be ready to apply to the nursing program until Spring 2014 (and...

  5. Rn-bsn question which college type?

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

    Why don't you look into an Entry Level Master's degree program? These programs admit students with Bachelors degrees in other fields besides nursing, and when you are finished you will have your RN...

  7. Being a CNA has made me question my career-Help!!

    LifeIsGood76 replied to bsb5090's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am very similar to you and like the "behind the scenes" kind of work. I am actually starting my pre-requisites to become a Clinical Lab Scientist. Maybe that is something you can look into. It...

  8. Getting a little discouraged with the overcrowded schools, anyone else?

    LifeIsGood76 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I am starting my pre-reqs this fall and I'm getting a little stressed out. I am quitting my part/time job to go back to school full time, and the community college I am going to is so crowded...

  9. Getting a little discouraged with the overcrowded schools, anyone else?

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

    Ugh, I'm stressing out! I moved here last year from Upstate NY, and now I really wish I would have done my classes out there. I love California, but there are many things that bug me (like the...

  10. Getting a little discouraged with the overcrowded schools, anyone else?

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

    Thank you for all the advice. Unfortunately, my job is not flexible at all. I have set hours and work some days and some nights, so it is impossible to take any classes without quitting my job....

  11. Getting a little discouraged with the overcrowded schools, anyone else?

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

  14. How did you make it work?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to bfiehn0905's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the same boat as you! I am married with 4 children, and although I only work part time, I will have to quit my job to go to nursing school because the school near me only has day classes, and...

  15. How can I convince my husband that I NEED to go to nursing school?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to LifeIsGood76's topic in General Students

    The C.N.A thing is a good idea, it would just mean I couldn't apply to the actual nursing program until Fall 2013. I'm not saying my husband isn't supportive, he is great and I know he is only...

    LifeIsGood76 replied to LifeIsGood76's topic in General Students
