If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. -Anne Bradstreet

It is possible, and it's never too late. My mom started nursing school in her 40s, and I had several people in my cohort who were around your age. My daughter was diagnosed with autism about a month before I started nursing school. Juggling all my da...

It's about time to start applying to the spring 2015 MANE programs. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who is applying. I thought it would be nice to have a place where we could come together and chat about our scores, the application process, and th...

We used DR. TIM. Dose Route Time Individual Medication

Both schools I applied to only looked at your GPA in 4 specific classes and your TEAS score. The classes were different for each school, but both used a point system, with 14 being the highest score. They just went down the list and accepted however ...

I don't think 8 is too many. I only applied to 2 schools, mainly because they are the only schools within a decent distance from my house. Luckily I was accepted at both.

You can still do it! I had a lot of issues the first time I went to college and I got a D in chemistry, along with completely failing some other classes. I went back to school 7 years later, retook chemistry (got an A this time!) and worked really ha...

You have to take the test in person, but there are options for people who work during the day. I don't know where in Kansas you are, but Wichita Area Technical College offers GED classes from 6-9 pm, plus they offer online classes. You do have to go ...

I could have applied to the nursing program after one semester of pre reqs, but I waited til I had completed a second semester so I could also work on my co reqs. I was accepted into the program to start in Jan 2015, so I will end up taking 3 semeste...

Good luck! I hope you get in.

I'm really interested in forensic nursing, specifically getting my SANE (sexual assault nurse examiner) certification.

I called Century today and they said they are not requiring the $100 deposit this time.

I'll be turning down my spot at Inver Hills. I know quite a few people who were applying there along with Century, so I think there's a good chance you'll get in.

Congratulations!

Got my acceptance letter from Inver Hills today.

Congratulations! Time to celebrate.

My letter from Century says it was mailed on July 15th, and my paperwork has to be in by August 1st. But it says I was accepted for Spring 2014, not 2015. They must have caught the mistake after some letters were printed, but didn't quite fix it.

Congratulations!

Thanks! The only other school I applied to was Inver Hills. Nothing from them yet, but Century was my first choice.

It came! I was accepted at Century!

Nothing in the mail today. Maybe tomorrow.

My mail comes around 9 am. I can't wait.

Microbiology Medical Terminology (online) Biomedical Ethics (online) It's only 8 credits, but that's all I have left of the non-nursing classes. Just waiting on my acceptance letter, and hopefully I'll start the nursing classes in the spring.

I went back to school when my daughter was 4 years old. I was also working about 20 hours a week. I started with 10 credits (3 classes) the first semester, then 12 credits (4 classes) the next, and now I'm taking an accelerated 4 credit summer class....
