I'm wondering if anyone else is dealing with not being able to get financial aid. I'm an older student returning to college. I already have about 100 credit hours towards a bachelors degree but I never finished. Now that I finally know what I want to...

I can do science. I'm awesome at math and chemistry. But English? English is my downfall. It took me 3 tries to pass Comp 1, and now I don't know how I'm going to make it through Comp 2. I've been staring at my homework for 2 days. I've rewritten it...

I should have graduated high school in 2003. I ended up dropping out and getting my GED. Now, I have a 4 month old daughter and I still managed to get a 4.0 gpa last quarter taking physiology and sociology. You can do anything you put your mind to. D...

Does anyone have any information on this program? I am interested in getting my BSN but I kind of like the idea of getting to start nursing classes right away and getting my ASN along the way. I am worried about financial aid though because of the fa...

I think you're doing great! I know that it seems like it's taking forever, but sometimes that's just the way it has to be. I have a 4 month old daughter, so I understand how difficult it can be to try to go to school and raise a baby. My husband is ...

I just started watching Nurse Jackie and I'm addicted. But the first thing I thought when I saw the pilot was, "She actually gets a 30 minute lunch break?!" Lol. Love it!

Acetabulum. I love bones

I found this in a breastfeeding book when I first had my daughter. I'd say it applies to kids of any age: The cleaning and scrubbing Can wait 'til tomorrow, For babies grow up, I've learned to my sorrow. So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust, go to sleep. I'...

I used to work as a legal assistant for a medical malpractice law firm. I actually got interested in nursing from talking to one of our expert witnesses. Of course, I'm also extra paranoid about getting sued because of it lol.

I'm not a CNA yet (taking my class right now), but I lost about 30 lbs when I first became a server. I feel like they're pretty similarly physically demanding, in that you have to be on your feet all day, running around, meeting people's needs, and t...

I'm really shy too. I'm also horrible at small talk! When I first started college I wanted to be a biology major but I was literally too scared of lab groups to take the classes that I knew I liked. When I decided I wanted to go to nursing school I ...

I actually really enjoy online classes. I have 2 step-sons (9 & 7) and a daughter (4 months). I would not be able to get my classes in otherwise. There's great flexibility, so if you need to you can "go to class" when the kids are in bed. Luckily...

Your fall semester sounds a lot like mine. I'm taking Anatomy, Microbiology, Human Growth and Development, Composition 2 and my CNA class. Yikes! But I am so determined to make it work. And then I get to apply for schools in January :yelclap:

I'm taking German. That was my major originally so I might just get a double major because I love it so much. At the beginning levels I did a lot of flash cards. And my school has a weekly meeting called "stammtisch" where we meet at a pizza place an...

It's accelerated because once you have the prereqs it's only a 15 month program just like any other accelerated program. They just don't require a bachelors. Associates also counts. I realize now that in my original post I said it was 2 years.

I know everyone has been saying that accelerated programs are only for bachelors, but it is possible to find them for an associates. Nebraska Methodist College offers one that I may apply to. But you do have to fulfill some pretty specific prereqs. I...

I do flash cards, too. But I do them kind of a weird way. The first time I read through the book I don't take notes, instead I just make a flash card for every key term or key point that I come across. But I don't fill out the back side with the answ...

It really depends on your personal situation. For me, it will take about a year (4 quarters). I could do it faster if I was applying only to my community college's ADN program, but I really want a BSN so I'm taking the extra classes that they require...

I'm just wondering how many people have to get certified as a prereq for their program. I'm probably applying to 5 or 6 programs and almost all of them require you to be on the state registry before you can apply so I'm taking this course in the upco...

I want to say I am so sorry for your loss. I can relate. My father committed suicide after he was diagnosed with ALS and it was the first day of school. As others have said, please go talk with your teachers. Also, does your school have any mental he...

I'm taking 2 classes at a time right now. It seems like just the right balance. Especially since I have a 3 month old that demands a lot of attention :) I'm so excited because the quarter is almost over and I'm on track to get an A+ in both of my cl...

If it makes you feel any better I'm 27 now and working on my prereqs. So I'll have to settle for being 30 with an RN

My school is on the quarter system so I don't start Micro until October 1st. At least I'll already have tons of info and tips from you guys since you're all starting now!

I'm still debating what I want to take, and I guess it will also depend on what I can actually get into (registration starts next week). I think I'm going to take Anatomy, Chem, Composition 2 and Ethics. I'd also like to take the Nursing Assistant cl...

I don't know but I'm taking ethics in the fall. I'm worried because I tend to do far better in science and math type classes, with concrete answers. I'm assuming it will be a lot of paper writing and discussion.
