I want to do my pre req's online and ccac has a lot of distance learning options, are most pre reqs for nursing the same for most schools? The one I was looking at was english 4 units, Math 2 w/ algebra required, Social studies 3, and Science 2 w/ lab. Are units the same as credits? For example can I do a basic math and when i'm done do algebra fundamentals, and that be it for my 2 credits?

So right now I hate my job and my current life, I'm young with 1 child and for awhile now I have really wanted to go to school to have a better life. It just seems so impossible because I'm the sole provider and have nobody that will support me while I go to school. Does anyone here go to school and get a living expense to let them get by while they go to school? I would appreciate anyone who can help me out. If you're in Pa and have any advice i'm all ears. Thanks...

Thanks for your help. I live in Pittsburgh, Pa.

So i'm fed up with the current working conditions of an ma and looking for a career change. I have always wanted to go into nursing. So I started looking around and i'm so confused. So many schools and each one has different requirements. To take pre reqs first or during school? If I do them first how long will it set me back? Also I never graduated high school all I have is my ged, do I have to go get my high school transcripts to find out what pre reqs I need? I have been hearing about different tests that people are taking like the SAT and n something what are they for? Boy I fell so dumb and overwhelmed. Thanks for any guidance in advance...

Right now i'm enrolled in an ma program. I wish I would have just gone for my rn instead. I was wondering how you guys do it financially? I have a daughter who will be starting school soon. I would love to be able to go to school during the day and not have to work while I go to school. Does anyone here get living expenses? If so is it possible to get enough $ from the living expense that you don't have to work while in school?
