   sogade replied to HopefulRN22's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would say to look at the requirements for the programs you are applying to. In my area the community college ADN programs look at your TEAS score first, they take the top candidates based on score alone. If there are ties then they look at what you...

   I'm sorry you feel like the loner. I don't really have any advice, persevere you are almost at the finish line and then hopefully onto employment to ease your financial worries! Good luck.

   sogade replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I waited until I was almost ready to start applying, i had finished A&P 1/2 and was halfway through micro when I took it, I scored 86.7 the first time and In my area that was good enough to get in, so I didn't re-take it. But I had about 6 weeks ...

   sogade replied to mrskrobbins's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm in NC, I'm not sure how different it is there.... I took my college classes and last fall arranged my classes so I could take the CNA course, which was a requirement to all of my local community colleges. I think the CNA class I took was a three ...

   sogade replied to jnichox2's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I only took 1 class (English 111) my first semester, I waited too late to sign up for anything and I wanted to ease back into school. I went full time my second semester, but didn't take any sciences. My 3rd semester i took both my A&P classes, m...

   sogade replied to Mchs4735's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't start nursing school until August, but for the past year while I've taken all my pre req's it's only been doable only because my husband is very supportive, and works really early, so he gets home early. We have three children, 7,6, and 3. Al...

   sogade replied to jhartgraves's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The community college I did my pre req's at offers an online a&p with lab, you order a cat in the mail and dissect it at home. I personally don't learn that well in that environment, but the classes are out there if you look for them.

10. Mercy School of Nursing Charlotte, NC Evening Program Information?

    sogade replied to futurern1515's topic in North Carolina

    I was just accepted and start at Mercy School of Nursing in the fall. They use a point system to choose applicants. The grade point average is fine, but you won't get as many points for a 3.1 as you would a 3.5+, do you have a previous degree? Did yo...

11. Is it right to pursue nursing if the school is 2 hrs away from husband & kids?

    sogade replied to fbanh's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would go, in a hot minute. It's important to live your life without resentment and regret. For me that translates into regretting the things I did not do. Look, if your marriage is strong enough, it will survive, if not, then you might be glad you ...

    sogade replied to klkoniec's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I applied to two. I was a chemistry short for applying to more. I took chem this semester so that if I didn't get in I would be able to apply next semester to more places. I got in both places I applied, and went with my first choice school.

    sogade posted a topic in North Carolina

    I have been accepted to both, help me decide! There are pros and cons to each, but what I think it's comes down to for me is getting a job when I'm fished with school. Does anyone here have any idea on which will be better in terms of actually gettin...
