I have finished all my pre req's, applied and have been accepted to start my ADN program technically Spring of 2016, but there are two pre req's that i can start next summer! I'm so excited!! I am 34 with five kids. By the time I start working I will be 38. I started my journey fall of 2009. You're never to old! I plan on bridging soon after, RN-BSN.

I think I want to be a hospice nurse, but I'd also like to work labor and delivery. Very familiar with that area after five kids:)

Get the ati book and get one of the practice tests from ati. I got my book for $20, amazon. Practice tests were $50 from ati website. Totally worth it.

We have NP 1, 2, 3 and 4. They run about 10 credits each semester. 2 pre req's before you get started are pharm and assessment. You can take pharm concurrently with np1.

I am 34. I have five kids. Finished all my pre req's last semester and was accepted, but wait listed for my ADN program. School was difficult and I barely made it into my program, like literally. My gpa is embarrassing. I am really nervous for when the time comes to start school. But not just for the program, mostly for my children. I literally don't trust anyone with them. I fear for their safety. So much that I get anxiety if I am away from them for a long period of time. That's normal right? ? Three of my kids are in school. My youngest will be two years old when I start nursing school. The only thing that could ruin me is if I don't feel like the kids are being taken care of properly! I could have done so much better in my prereqs, but I just wanted to do the bare minimum to get by and get in. My school recently switched over to a point system starting next semester. I do have a good support system. I have my mom to help. My husband works graveyard with overtime and will be of some help. I plan on having them juggle the kids during lecture and clinicals. I'll probably stick to a similar study schedule, studying at nights and while everyone is at school. I don't have a diploma or a GED. However I did recently graduate with my associates in math/science. I want to make decent money to help my husband support our family and do something fulfilling. He makes a decent paycheck by himself. We have insurance. But with five children...(actually six for him, he pays child support) well you can imagine. There's just not a lot of money left for fun, activities, vacations, etc...so I plan on hitting a home run in nursing school and giving it my all. I also plan on the RN-BSN afterwards, while I work. Good luck to us all! We can do it!

Love the notability app on my iPad. I also recorded my lectures with it.

I don't start assessment and pharm until next summer, and i already want to barf I'm so nervous and excited! Good luck to you gals:)

You're young and childless and I assume husbandless, take advantage of that! Two year associate program plus roughly 15 months for RN to BSN. Very cheap. But you still need to factor in prereqs. Versus four year university BSN or an accelerated two year BSN program that is more expensive, but you could work off student loans easily within a year if your still at mom and dads and working overtime. I'd find an accelerated BSN program after finishing the prereqs at a community college. Good luck:)!

She know's she's on the wait list until Spring of 2016, right?

Why do I keep hearing about "drama" in this program? Makes me wonder...

I scored a 62 on practice test A and a 64 on practice test B, i scored higher of course when I took them the second time, same set of questions. I scored high on the actual test in all areas but science. I used the ATI study guide and a book called Ace the Teas. I have the Mcgraw Hill book everyone talks about, but i didn't use it. I took the ATI practice tests starting 2 days before my test date. Good luck. You'll almost if not, run out of time on the math.
