Great links, BFF. Thanks for sharing

The above suggestions are good. As someone who suffers from anxiety, I know I am unable to handle a lot of situations without help from my physician. Family therapy has helped me learn coping skills that actually work and keep me level-headed. This may not be the answer for you, but it helps me tremendously. Good luck!

Thanks for sharing this resource!!

I am attending a community college for my pre-reqs as well. For my family, the flexibility offered at this CC is essential for my success, and their nursing program is great. I echo the points mentioned in CDEwb's post. Good luck in your future!

I need to find out about it too- I emailed my advisor and he said to talk directly with (PLEASE DO NOT POST NAMES OF THOSE IN YOUR PROGRAM PER OUR TOS) in the nursing admissions office.

I'm with you! Just turned 35 and starting my pre-reqs now. First day is Monday! I'm thrilled and scared at the same time. A friend of mine said not to worry - we're bringing lots of real world experience that will help us very much! ~Amanda

I wasn't interested at all in nursing until this past summer. My husband was diagnosed with neck cancer, and a scary hospital trip that included a trach, feeding tube and a Stevens-Johnson response left me terrified. The nurses and respiratory therapists were instrumental in giving me the eduction and confidence I needed to be able to take him home and take care of him. I hope hope hope that no matter what type of nursing I'm able to do, that I can help the families as much as my husband's nurses helped me.

Any news on this?

These are awesome tips. Thanks! I begin January 7 in Alabama. So excited! I'll probably be the oldest in the class though, at 35. Maybe my real world experience will help me out?

Love the advice. Thanks! We have a rockin' desktop at home so that's no problem, and I have a 7" arnova with an attachable keyboard. It's an ice cream sandwich model that's kinda tricky... Thinks it's a tablet but other sites (google play, amazon App Store, etc) think it's an android phone so lots of things are inaccessible. I didn't know if I would need the full function of the laptop in-class, or not. With two kids who use the desktop for hours of homework, I definitely need something of my own, for sure. Still contemplating. Thanks for the replies!

Thanks guys!

For those of you in the ADN program, did you need a tablet or laptop? Thanks!
