Hi, You will have to re-take the science course and do really well. If I could offer a little advice...maybe you should take it alone so that you can dedicate your full attention to the course.

@silver great advice. And believe it or not...I used the link on your post.

Hello, I agree with you that one should do a cost/benefit analysis before taking on student loan debt but community college is much cheaper to get a two year degree (although extremely competitive from what I've read on different school sites).

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and I am thinking about pursuing a degree in nursing. Currently I am considering a career change at 47 years old. I work as a Legal Assistant but I have absolutely no desire to become an attorney. I have a BA in psych but it doesn't mean anything in my profession. I am considering nursing truthfully because the money, going in, is better than what I make after nearly 20 years experience and I have always been interested in the medical field. I am leaning towards Gerontology. I know I should have done this many years ago but I had young children and had to live in the moment. Do any of you recommend an accelerated program or should I go to community college to do the pre-reqs? I have to take a few science courses and am leery of online A/P and biology courses. I live in New Jersey and very shortly the State will be requiring all nursing students to have a 4 year degree. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
