   Just wanted to drop by and say "Hi!" to everyone. Love reading all of your posts. Very inspiring :) I'm 38 and almost done with my pre-reqs (3 more classes to go). Initially intended on going the ADN route, but am now contemplating on transferring in...

2. Okay, I'll be the first...Keiser University.

   momma2luchini replied to Getting To Great's topic in Florida

   I agree 100% with Helano. First and foremost you must find a program that is accredited. Then from there look at what you're trying to accomplish (ASN vs. BSN). Research the schools thoroughly. By then you'll have a good idea of which program is the ...

   Hi! Yes, I'm taking all of the general education classes at KU. I got your message, but am unable to reply through message. What questions do you have? I'd be glad to answer them here.

   Hi, my name is Karen! I'm 37 and starting classes (pre-reqs) on Monday. I plan on taking the TEAS in December. God willing, I'm tracking towards a Fall 2014 start in the ASN program. This is the most inspiring thread I've read so far. It just goes t...

   momma2luchini replied to Getting To Great's topic in Florida

   Thanks! Yes, I start my first pre-req class on Monday and plan to take the exam in December. Here in JAX, a potential nursing candidate is required to pass the TEAS prior to the start of program. So, apparently it's not the same throughout the system...

6. How old were you when you started Nursing School?

   momma2luchini replied to NursingStudentMomof3's topic in General Students

   19-20 for LPN... Then a thing called life happened. I'm 37 and will start my pre-nursing classes in 2 weeks. God willing, continue to my ASN program in Sept 2014 and graduate at 39 years young in the Fall of 2015. Hoping to continue my education and ...

9. ADN Question

   momma2luchini replied to PoodleLover86's topic in Florida

   Here in Jacksonville there are tons of nursing jobs currently available. Most job postings I've come across here stated ADN and/or BSN preferred. So, it really does depend on where you are in Florida, but you can definitely find work if not in the ho...

    I'm probably going to take mines in December. I want to be prepared for it as much as I can. Thanks for the feedback! Let me know how it goes and GOOD LUCK!

11. Okay, I'll be the first...Keiser University.

    momma2luchini replied to Getting To Great's topic in Florida

    Yes, KU is definitely up there in cost. However, I am fortunate that my husband, who is in the military, transferred his G.I. Bill benefits to me. My ASN education will be paid in full by that benefit. It wasn't really a matter of how much the school...

    momma2luchini replied to Getting To Great's topic in Florida

    So, when are you anticipating on taking the TEAS? We may be testing around the same time. How did you like the tutoring? Was it helpful?

    murse3000- Awesome! What campus are you attending? Did you take your pre-reqs at KU, if so, how are the classes and professors? I will be attending the Jacksonville campus. God willing I start my nursing core classes in Sept 2014. I haven't taken the...

    momma2luchini replied to Getting To Great's topic in Florida

    Thanks for your input, Getting To Great! I ultimately decided on KU. I am starting my pre-reqs the 30th of Sept. Graduated from a Vocational Nursing program in CA many moons ago so I am starting from the beginning. Excited to dive back into the nurs...
