Hi all, just wondering if anyone is in nursing school or just taking their pre reqs with full-time jobs. The reason I'm asking is because I plan to start school soon to work towards an RN degree (BSN) but can't quit my full-time job because I have to...

Thanks again. This has all been very helpful. I start pre reqs this spring at the CC (grant money will pay tuition and books and I plan to save the rest that's left over for when I begin the nursing program.

I'll be retaking English 1 as well as, college algebra, art appreciation and A&P, 1.

Thank you. I definitely plan to speak with an advisor about this and go from there.

I really can't afford to take out anymore loans so my best bet may be to go the CC or technical school route. I just hope I can balance working and going to school full time. I get my health insurance through my job and the credit union will deduct m...

Awesome! I'm in Tennessee too. I'm really leaning towards getting my ADN since it'll be free. I'm single (boyfriend lives an hour away) with no children and split bills with my brother. I know I'll have to work extra hard because of my past in school...

I feel I shouldn't have gone to university straight out of high school because I was imature, unfocused, lazy, and didn't really know what I want. Now that I'm older and have some life experiences as an adult I can confidently say that becoming a nur...

It does help out a lot. I haven't attended the community college for 3 semesters so I would have to reapply again. The thing is my state passed a law where older adults 24 and up (I'm 26) can go to school tuition free at a community college or techni...

I'm 26 and will be starting pre reqs hopefully in the Spring. I don't have a degree just college credit and my GPA is low, but I'm not going to give up on my dream, and you shouldn't either.

Thanks again. I appreciate the advice. Another question I wondered is which route I should take. I haven't started my pre reqs yet, but there's a university here that's geared towards adults 24 and older. The tuition is affordable where I'll take my...

Also, I would prefer not to take out anymore loans unless I need to. Already have loans to pay back from my first attempt at school

Thank you. Currently I have no money saved up because I'm currently working paycheck to paycheck. I'm also purchasing a vehicle so I can get to work and school. I plan to put my household in a weekly budget outside of bills and hopefully will save wh...

Thanks, I'll be starting pre reqs no later than the spring, and my schedule at work is pretty much set. I hope I'll be able to manage my time wisely but the up side is I'll stay busy

Hello, this upcoming fall I'll be starting my nursing prereqs at Southwest and am interested in attending U of M to get my BSN. I was wondering if anyone could give me any insight on how the program is? How do you all like it overall? How was the adm...

Anyone else starting their prerequisite courses this fall? I already have English 1 & 2 done, but have earned C's in both classes. Would it be wise to retake? Also I'm retaking Art Appreciation and will be taking A&P 1 for the first time.

Yes, thank you :) I'll have to work that much harder.

Also the nursing program I'm interested in requires a 2.6 GPA. I know it's best to achieve higher than that. Do you guys think it's doable?

You're right. This is my second attempt at college. The first time, I didn't do well at all. I was a pre med student then. I'm 24 now and am finally able to go back but will be attending the local community college that is connected to the university...

I've been out of school for a while, (flunked out at 20 but wasn't a nursing major), I'm 24 now and ready to go back and earn my degree. This fall, I'll be starting my nursing prereq classes. I should've started it this past spring but wasted it on a...

Yes, thank you :) The first time around, I let my new found independence get to me and went to every party and hardly studied. Immature I was, but now I've officially grown up.

So...I'm officially going back to school to earn my nursing degree. First time around, I was a bio major and crashed and burned. Literally. Now that I'm 24 and been working dead end jobs for a while, I'm going to try and give university another go. I...

Thank you, I will take your advice. Have you taken the NLN yet?

Hi, if things go as planned I should be applying for Spring 2015. I'll be taking my prerequisites this summer. If things don't go as planned then I'll have to wait until the Fall, but I'll be applying to the Phlebotomy tech cert for spring. I'm kind ...

Hello all, For a while I've been contemplating going the LPN route vs straight RN, and even though I've leaned heavily towards lpn since it only lasts a year, I'm now considering Southwest because a) I'm already a student who took classes there befor...
