Found it, thank you! =)

I realized after I posted this I should have put it in the students forum, and put the name of the college. I can't seem to find an option to sort for which state, not sure if there is one.

I believe it will be worth it. I wish I were 25 and doing this instead of 50, It's also going to take me almost four years. I work 40 hours a week and have to use my student loans to help subsidize my income, raising a family on my own. I'm scared to death but don't know what else to do. I'll be 55 or so by the time I'm done and in the kind of debt that scares the heck out of me, I also worry about age discrimination at 55. So I would say, your future is looking pretty peachy right now.

I'm in the same situation, I started back to school at 48 and will most likely be 55 by the time I finish the ADRN program. My biggest fear is not being able to find a job due to my age. I'm afraid the only thing I will have is a big student loan and a lot of regret for not choosing a different degree.

I have questions all the way around. I called the Nursing department and talked to the secretary to try and find out about when the applications open up for the part time evening RN program and couldn't get a straight answer, I was only told to keep watching the Nursing page for the announcement. To at least know a time frame would have been nice. I'm trying to build an estimate of when I may be able to graduate, knowing this information would help also knowing how long it actually takes to get accepted would be nice too. I have heard from so many that it took them two years to just get in the program from the time they started applying. This has me seriously stressed since I'm already 50 this year. I have all my biology classes out of the way, finished math and will take English this semester. I still haven't taken the teas yet, I plan to study for it and test this summer. I worry waiting to do the TEAS this summer may be a mistake since it will push my eligibility to apply out to 2016. Does anyone know approximately when they open up applications and how long it usually takes to get in?

Thanks for the information VSBlonde. It's nice to have an idea of what to expect for when the time comes to start applying for jobs.

Curious what the starting wages for a new grad RN at either Huntsville Hospital or Crestwood Medical Center would be. I've seen post regarding this but some of them are pretty old.
