I am 46 and starting a 2 year RN program in August. This is a second career for me. All my children are grown, but I'm raising my 5 year old granddaughter.

Anyone who is at Citizens School of Nursing in New Kensington have any comments on their experience there? Or any advice? Or anyone else who will be attending in the fall? Would love to hear anything about the school. I'm attending in the fall and I'...

I am enrolled in Citizens School of Nursing Diploma Program. I was wondering does anyone know with a RN Diploma if you can go back later for a RN to BSN program or if you have to start over fresh in a BSN program? Also can someone with a RN Diploma g...

40+ Club here. I'm 45, finished my prerequisite and start my RN Program in August. I'm nervous and excited. I'm raising my 5 year old granddaughter so it will be a challenge. I don't know how you all do it with young children. Any advice for a newb...

Does anyone have any advise on these two types of Nursing Schools. Will many hospitals hire R.N 's who graduated with a Diploma instead of a degree?

Thank you for the replies. It really encourages me when people give me information I'm seeking. :)

I currently go to a community college that requires the NLN exam. But I tried to get into a private college that required taking the Teas V and getting a 66%. I failed it both times. Has anyone taken the TEAS and the NLN? Which is harder? I only had...

Me too. I start may 20th.

I am an older student, well in my 40's and don't hear as well as I used to. Can everyone tell me which stethoscope they recommend that will help them hear better when using it. I currently have a acoustica MDF instrument stethoscope and can't hear an...

Sorry palm harbor mom I mean.

Thank you pearlharbormom. That really helped.

I am in A&P 1 in my 5th week and currently have a D. Our teacher is new to our school and teaching. I feel our teacher has made it very hard on everyone in the classes (lab & lecture). She failed everyone in two lab classes on their lab repor...

Bem514, Thank you for the info. I don't know if I could handle taking it in the summer. I think I found a good teacher to take it with in the fall. He has a good pass rate. The teacher I was taking it with is a good teacher she just makes it very har...

Thank you everyone, I feel better now. I withdrew from the class this morning. I will receive a "w" so no it won't hurt my GPA. The only downfall is the good teachers I want aren't until the fall, so that pushes me back one more year. I will now appl...

Thank you so much everyone!!

I started A & P 1. It is already a lot of material we need to know. A ton of chemistry and our teacher talks so fast. I am buying a recording devise to help with the lectures. Does anyone know of any good voice recorders to buy? Any suggestions w...

I am taking A&P I also this spring with Pharmacology and Business math.

I was wondering if anyone knows if withdrawal from a class will hurt you to get accepted to a nursing program. I am having a hard time in my biology class and don't want to have a failing grade on my record. I really do believe that sometimes it all...

Thank you everyone. I right now have 2 C's. one in Biology and 1 in human growth & development The teachers make it very hard and both classes are online. I am going to try my best to bring both grades up but it is hard with these teachers an...

Would like to take Microbiology and Anatomy and Physiology ii next summer. Does anyone think this is too much for summer classes? I don't have any small children at home and I am currently not working.

Emichell, thank you so much. I do hope to get in quickly to the Nursing program. I am not getting any younger and this is a second career for me. Good luck to you in your Nursing Program. Please keep us updated as to how it goes!

Thank you everyone. I do have another question. I am going to apply in jan for the nursing program which starts in August of 2013. I will have most of my core reqs by the end of spring semester 2013 before I start nursing school in the fall. All exce...

Thank you everyone!

I too am finishing up the last of my pre-reqs this fall. In Jan I will apply for the nursing program.
