Congrats. Now its time to put all that knowledge to use, save lives, earn money and pay off those student loans. God bless.

"Wow, it's 6 am! She said she wants to be early for her first nursing course and she wasn't kidding. Her first class starts at 9...tomorrow morning."

After filling out 57 applications to nursing schools, she finally got called for an interview.

Doesn't passing the NCLEX earn you some degree of respect/credibility in the field regardless of where you obtained your degree?

Human A&P l A&P of Audiology Fundamentals of Chemistry Language Science

Hi, I need some feedback. I'm taking human A&P, fundamental chemistry, A&P for hearing and audiology, and language science (last two courses needed to complete ASLP certificate). I figured there would be some overlap in the A&P courses so it should be ok. Let me add that I'm not the best science student but I will be a full-time student for the first time since I've left high school. So, what do you guys and girls think?

Good point ICURN7. Honeykrown, where did you graduate from?

Celebrate...treat yourself to something very special for this is a very special occasion. Congrats.

Celebrate. Treat yourself to something special.

Congrats. Let's us know how its going from time to time. I'd like to know what to expect.

Give yourself a tight squeeze. You did it! Congratulations.

Perseverance is its own reward. Congratulations.

GrnTea, you are certainly right. There's lots to be said about maturity. It gives you a perspective that youngsters can never possess because they haven't had those experiences that only come as one lives life. Perhaps that's why students in accelerated nursing programs do well. By the time folks our age decide to get a degree, we know what we want to do, know that we don't have time or money to waste in pursuit of our goals, and we're eager to begin putting theory to practice.

pmabraham, maybe they've never heard of jack lalanne. . "For his 70th birthday, he swam a mile and a half through the Long Beach Harbor while towing a flotilla of 70 boats. With his hands and feet shackled, no less." I have started working out as a matter of fact. I found a health app on my Samsung that tracks my fitness progress and calories. It makes me want to take 10,000+ steps a day. I'll start lifting light weights soon. I getting ready.

Thank you Marshalls_mom and congratulations. From what I've been reading, getting into a program is half the battle. My only regret about living on an island is higher education. Unlike you,out-of-state tuition is my greatest enemy. For anyone returning to school, it's probably the most expensive sacrifice one makes for living in paradise. By the way, I'm sure your information about employment will alleviate some of the apprehension individuals are experiencing. Best wishes to you, too.
