    Just Started College

    I'm one of the youngest in my pre req classes & I'm 20. I find it hard to relate sometimes, especially because I have no children. Just be cordial to everyone & don't take it personally if...

    could use some guidance...

    Like so many other things you have to apply for, admission to a nursing program is a gamble and you may not get in the first time. I would look at the programs around you and the length of time it'll...

    Why nursing?

    It took a year of me attempting another major to figure out nursing is what I want to do. I had thought about it many times before but didn't have faith in myself to do it. I am so happy I switched to...

    could use some guidance...

    I agree with what the previous poster wrote. Figure out what pre reqs you need to take, get A's in those classes & bring up that
  7. None of the programs I apply to require physics. They require chemistry 1, a & p 1 and 2, microbiology, and

    nursing major, psychology minor?

    I don't think it matters that it will take you 5 years to complete a 4 year degree. More and more people go to college for 4+ years now. I think minoring in psychology is great though if you are...

    Mapping the way (to registered nurse)

    I would just go for the RN. I would do that by finishing any required pre reqs. I think it helps that you are a CNA because not only will it look good on your resume but you have experience. Good...

    Online STAT

    I am pretty bad at math & really gambled with my GPA by taking statistics for 2 weeks during the accelerated winter semester. I personally found statistics more useful than other types of math I...
  11. I agree, cut back on work if you can. It sucks to not socialize, but it will be a lot harder in nursing school. Like umbdude said, it'll just be a couple years of your

    A & P

    Rewrite notes & reorganize them. This will help it come together better. Take adavantage of the tutoring center & any open labs. Study a little bit every day, with larger amounts the week...
  13. My piece of advice is nursing school is not forever. If you guys can get through this (not being able to spend as much time together) than you will have a stronger relationship. Good luck. Its sweet...

    Nerves setting in

    Don't feel nervous! I know it's easier said and done, but like you said you haven't been out of school for long and obviously are a good student. Once you start school, you won't have time to worry...

  17. I would do the community college program. It is not accelerated but not as long as the traditional BSN. I recommend checking that the job market in your area is hiring ASNs though just to be on the...

    Associate Degree or BSN?

    BSN. Just do it all at once so you don't have to bridge
  19. I would personally recommend retaking those courses that you have C's in & then applying for nursing school. I am in MD also & actually went to UMBC for 1 year before switching to AACC to...

    What to do?

    Don't become a nurse because your husband says so. Nursing is still not the safest career & you must really want to do it, otherwise it is not worth the hassle. I live in Maryland & know quite...

    accelerated bsn

    It depends on your location. I live in a small county that still has hospitals that hire ADN. But I live in the suburbs of 2 big cities which "prefer" BSNs. So they prefer to hire new BSN grads but if...
