12. Kids while in nursing school?

    nurse34 replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Wow, it does sound like you and hubby have thought about this thoroughly! I already have a BS degree so I didn't have to take many pre-reqs. I did take AP1 and Nutrition in 2003 and I would just study after the kids went to bed but from what I'm re...

    nurse34 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was reading this book last night and it gave me the impression that colleges are somewhat hesitant to let you in if you work a full time job. Is this true? I work full time and plan on doing an evening program at a local CC but my job will allow ...
