    Good
  3. I won't be applying until next spring (for Fall 2015), but I can't wait to hear what you think about the program! I'll (hopefully) be at the Venice campus
  4. SCF Fall 2014 ADN Program

    I won't apply until next year, but I wanted to say hi. SCF (venice) is the only school I'll be able to apply to as everything else is at least 90 minutes away and I work full time and have 2 kids. I...
  5. My heart is beating so hard

    Hope it was good
  6. Points?

    I keep reading all these posts about "points" and how many people have, how many they need, etc for acceptance. I haven't seen any info on this from my (hopeful) nursing school. All they list is a...
  7. I don't have any advice, but I wanted to say hi, since I was an actress in a former life (a few years back). I wonder if there's something similar between nursing and theatre that has attracted us...
  8. I finally start the journey!!

    Good for you! I can't believe that negative woman laughed at you. Sounds to me like you're going to be
  9. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    Yep -that's how I feel. As moms were more used to putting other people first and this is a good example to my girls that it's ok to take care of yourself, too.
  10. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    Don't feel old. I didn't have my first kid until I was 32 and the second one when I was 35. And, still, when I take them to birthday parties I'm one of the younger parents. Don't have kids before...
  11. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    5 and almost 2. My 5 year old thinks it's going to be pretty cool to do her homework while I do mine! She may have to explain it to me.

    Good luck! Fingers crossed for
  13. I will be starting my prerequisites this August (starting with Anatomy & Physiology I). I'm 37, working full time (and will until I actually being nursing school), and it's been a long time since...
  14. I'm nervous to take the next step

    There's a whole thread on here for nursing students over 30 and there are tons of people on it! You won't be alone by a long
  15. Tips for succeeding?

    It's also possible that you have issues with test-taking. There are many, many people who do poorly on tests, even when they have studied hard and know the material. Talk to someone at your school....
  16. Which specialty would you like to end up in?

    NICU. Baby #2 was a preemie and I just knew from then that that was my field. (Of course, everything
  17. Tips for succeeding?

    I haven't started yet, so I don't have any tips to give. But I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. Is it possible that the science classes aren't as much your thing as the clinicals will be?...
  18. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    I'm feeling guilty, also, about being away from my family and using part of my husband's GI bill (instead of saving the whole thing for the kids). BUT I keep reminding myself that I'm setting an...

    My thought exactly.
  20. What to do pre-pre-Nursing School?

    Thanks, everyone, for all your helpful comments. One other question - my AP class doesn't require bio as a pre-req, but suggests it. I took my last bio class (albeit a very good one) a long time...
  21. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    What did you decide? I'm probably going to go the ASN route (then go RN to BSN) because the closest BSN as a second degree is 2 hours away. I'll do it if I have to (and the classes look more...
  22. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    Wow - we really are on the same path! I'm glad I have someone to be anxious with. After 10 years hemming and hawing over this, 3 more months seems like an eternity! How old are your
