I am sorry that this happened to you.

One thing I have learned in a short period of time is that nurses tend to be very critical of themselves, and that is including me(I'm not a nurse yet). I bet a million dollars that you are doing great, and that your letter was generic. I would look ...

I am not an RN, and I am still taking my pre-reqs. My daughter was in the NICU when she was born, and those nurses were complete Angels. They play so many different roles. A parent of a healthy newborn is a nervous wreck, so think about how parents o...

I am 41 years old, and one thing that I know for sure in life, is that there is no such thing as a dumb question. I'm glad you asked it. I enjoyed reading the answers.

I have a management background. Every management job I have had required an employee to have a drug screen administered if they got hurt on the job. It is the companies way of keeping worker comp claims down. You were absolutely right. However, we N...

I am in my first year of pre-reqs and I have stopped telling people at school that I am going into nursing. Why? Because of this exact thing your talking about. Every person I meet is going into Nursing, and has something negative to say if you tell ...

One thing I have learned for sure from this website is that there is no Nursing shortage. I have read dozens of posts from people who can't find jobs. Many of them saying that they have filled out well over 100 applications. Since both jobs are hard ...

Today is my Birthday, and I am 41. I am in my first year of pre-req's. I have always dreamed of being a nurse. I wish I would have started at 32. If this is what you really want, then I say go for it.

Those student don't realize how many men and woman would love to take their place. Getting into Nursing school isn't easy. I am literally studying my rear off to get A's in my pre-req's so I can even get into a program. My suggestion would be to not ...

Just beautiful. Made me cry. I felt like I was in that room with you.

I have the same issue. I can't apply for the 2013 school year even though I will be done with my pre-req's next Spring. I will have to wait a whole year. My plan is to take the CNA course, start working for some experience, and to pay the interest on...

My parents were unavailable to me when I was 16. I had to drop out of school to take care of my little sisters. I went and got my GED, and made sure my sisters finished high school AND went to college. I am just now starting college at 41 years old, ...

I will be 41 Friday. I am in my first year pre-reqs. I freak out everyday about having enough time to get into nursing school. I love it when I see post from people my age. I really hope you get into that accelerated program.

PLEASE!!!!!! Keep on going. I am in my 40's, and I am still doing my pre-reg's. As my 10 year old son would say "You got this". In my case, I have been out of school for 22 years. If you don't believe in yourself right now, believe that I believe.

I am still taking my pre-req's, but I can't even begin to tell all of you how much I enjoyed reading all your post about getting into nursing school. Sometimes when I come to this website I get anxious or scared with some of the negative posts. This ...

My husband worked for a very well known restaurant for 23 years. His job was to train all the mangers in our local area, which included a huge city. The very first thing he used to tell managers about the hiring process was "Make sure you hire someon...

This is my exact plan. I am 40 years old, so I really get a little scared as far as time is concerned. Here is what I tell myself everyday when I wake up "This is your dream, and you are doing everything possible to follow it" ,and then I have to lea...

I am 40 years old and working on my pre-req's. I can relate to you in so many ways. The college I attend only accepts 80 applicants per year, and receives close to 400 applications. It is important that I get A's in all my classes. I don't have time ...

I couldn't agree with rhondaespo more. I felt so sad and digusted when I read the post by Jory. My brother has been clean and sober for more than 20 years. I seen him suffer some very traumatic things when he was a little boy. Things that would bri...

I don't think you sound like you deserved to be spoon-fed. "Back in the day" people knew there weren't any labs when they paid their tuition. You are paying tuition for the lab. Is there any way you can read ahead to find out what skill you will be ...

I am so happy to hear about your day. I am a pre-nursing student, and I appreciated your post.

My Fall semester starts August 18th. I am in Illinois.

Good luck to you. Deleting FB is a great idea.

I am going through the exact same thing. I wanted to do this 20 years ago, and my life took me in a different direction. I don't have time on my side as far as waiting several years to get in. I am concentrating on school only. I am not working. This...
