I love this thread ~ what a great idea! I'm newly 40, married with 3 kids (15, 14 & 13) plus we're fostering a 6 month old that we're hoping to make ours someday, so things are definitely crazy...
Thanks grannyclampett for bringing this thread back to life! I turned 40 a few months ago and I'm working on my pre-reqs. Our school accepts applications in the spring and starts a class every fall...
I'm in NC and none of the four schools I've looked at have nutrition as a pre-req. The general consensus in this area is: A&P I and II, an upper level math class, microbiology, chemistry and they...
So excited! I was able to adjust my summer/fall schedules so I'm now taking A&P I this summer as a hybrid class. So I am on campus one day a week and then we have web-centered work as well....
Is a private college your only option here in NC? Maybe I missed something but you could do your pre-reqs and complete a 2 yr RN program (through a comm. college) here and then after you pass your...
@Iheartcremebrulee I'm in far western NC though I've been to Raleigh once or twice. I didn't know that the exam could be challenged so that is good to know. I will have to look into that some

No, you don't have to take the CNA course(s) through them though they offer a Nursing Asst. program that is 2 semesters (Fall = Nurs. Asst. I and Spring= Nurs. Asst. II) That program is covered by...
The ADN program I'm considering is revamping their program and will now require CNA certification as a pre-req. They are also no longer using the HOAE (Health Occup. Aptitude Exam) but now using the...
I'm 40 and will be starting pre-reqs this fall. I've been in school for the past year and a half bouncing back and forth between HIT (Health Inf. Technology) and Nursing. I finally realized that...
For our program here locally, the points system looks like this: - Up to 15 points for Health Occupations Aptitude Exam (HOAE) -Grade point average is multiplied by 10: Up to 40 points -Up to 10...
I was going to try for A&P I this summer but so far it looks like I'll have to wait until Fall. They only have one class scheduled for the summer and the timing isn't working for me. I'm kind of...
