Hi all, I am from China currently in San Diego, been allnurses for a while, really love this forum! I am going for the pre-reqs next semester, hopeful can finish all the prerequisite in a year...here is my situation: i had a associate degree in china which was major in science education, I learned all the basic science including anatomy biology psychology and algebra etc., but I didn't study anything relate to nursing, according to my major I actually suppose to be a science teacher in the school, but I don't really love it, about half year ago I found my passion actually was nursing! So I transferred my transcript from china and now those papers were under evaluating, so here is my questions: 1. Any of you guys also Chinese and studying nursing here? My biggest worry is HOW HARD it is? What would be the biggest problem? I guess that would be language? 2. How long need to finish prerequisite? As I understand nursing colleges normally not recommend to take any lab courses online, such as anatomy physiology etc, but how about other fix set courses such as English and microbiology? Can I take those courses online? Coz I really don't have so much time too attend college with each course, I actually have a baby boy who's only 10 months old, I need to take care of him in the day while my husband in the office. 3. How tense the nursing program would like? Especially for a foreign student? Any of you whose mother language is not english could give me some idea? Any reply or private messages would all be highly appreciated! Pls help thanks!
