Are you accepted to universities? If so and you tuition is covered can you move into a dorm? My university has dorms and apartments, the cost rolls into the cost if tuition. Living alone is hard, no doubt but it's definitely doable.

NICU, pediatric oncology, pediatric cardiac ICU and eventually masters in nursing education or neonatal nurse practitioner. :)

I have yet to enter nursing school but I am so happy to see this thread!! I am a single mom who is 3 classes away from completing my first 3 years of college (2 year gen-eds part time) with a 4.0! To say I am overwhelmed is an understatement. It is g...

Me too!!!!! I hope they come early this year :) If we all get in we should exchange #'s so we can talk and get to know people before the semester starts!!!

I'm a single mom so I work the entire time. Hopefully it works out :)

Single mom here working on bachelors! You can do it!!! I have been in pre-nursing for 3 years and have 3 classes left with a 4.0. Just come up with a strict schedule and you can absolutely get through it!

mcalvin and Treeeeeee, I hope we all get in together!!! I can't WAIT to see that letter!!!

My BSN program does not require either the foreign language or that much math. I would look at the school you plan to apply to and see what their specific requirements are. Good luck!!

I had paragraphs in there, I swear!! The mobile format took them away!

I'm mobile so I'm going to make this is short as possible and please forgive any typos!! My daughter was born very ill. Her journey from birth to diagnosis has been ongoing for 7. 1/2 years now and some things are still undiagnosed. It has been the m...

I have applied at Maryville University in St. Louis MO for Fall 2014! I have a 4.0 so hopefully I get in! Good luck everyone!

I thought A&P2 was a lot easier and more fun than A&P1. You learn the systems, how they function and how they connect. It's still very in-depth but everything starts to come together more! As far as O-chem, I'm no help because I haven't taken...

In Spring 2014 I will be taking: Mico with lab History I will have one class left after that and it's an elective :) So far I have a 4.0!!! I should start the nursing program in August!

SCC does not have an eveing program for the RN program. They offer some classes in the evenings but the program is during the day. You have to have certain pre reques done before applying such as A&P 1, 2, English and I think one other one. Once ...

I have a 4.0. I completed 59 credit hours so far and have 3 classes left till I start the BSN program.

I'm going to go to Maryville and the tuition is comparable to UMSL. So far, I have been able to do it all through PELL grant (mostly bc I took prereques at SCC) and a $4000 loan from my brother in law. When I actually start the nursing program there...

It isn't the last 20 credit hours, it's just 20 credit hours at Maryville anytime. I actually only took 19 but was told I am fine and am being considered along with all the other applicants. I just got an e-mail from my adviser yesterday. I had told ...

I literally read every page in my A&P book. I took notes and studied often. I bought flash cards to study with too. I also took human biology before hand and that was extremely helpful. Make sure you really learn the material and not just do wha...

Hi treeeee! I only have 3 classes left so I'm taking them at the community college to save money :) this spring in takin micro a/ lab and history then in the summer I'll take adolescent psych. It'll be February before we know it and we'll be sending...

How many credit hours is the whole program. If it's 65, which is average for BSN acceptance, it averages out to about $185 a credit hour. At my CC it's about $100 a credit hour and my University is $568 a credit hour. I guess it depends on if you are...

Oh and thank you for doing this! I was so excited for you to answer questions I just jumped right in!

What do you really learn in the first semester??? Everyone says they can't even tell you all the things they learned. Skills, I am assuming sterile technique, blood draw, peri bath, changing but is that true. Do you do caths and dressing changes in f...

Yes, you can certainly do it!! I too am a mom (2 kids and single) one of which has special needs and work full time. I have made it through school for 3 years now with a 4.0. You need to accept any help that is offered and make sure to prioritize. Ge...

I am so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine what you must be going through. You should be proud of yourself for getting through this semester with having this happen. I hope now that the semester is coming to an end you will have time to grieve your...

This is how I study. Research actually shows that studying for short amounts of time and taking short breaks is the best way to retain the information that is studied.
