I haven't even started my pre-reqs yet and I'm already terrified that I'm not going to get accepted. There's only 1 school near enough to me to realistically go to, so I have 1 shot. That being said,...
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
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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....
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?...
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...
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...
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...
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
