Yet another reason why we Homeschool. :)

Enjoy your baby(future babies). School is hard with newborns. I would worry about it when you get there. Since you already have your RN you could use ur FAFSA if applicable to finish a degree online in something else if nursing is not looking good to you any longer. :) Congrats on the baby!

Im sorry for your loss. My oldest daughter was 8month when I miscarried our baby at 8wks. I had just found out the day before we miscarried but we already had a name if the baby was a girl, Haley Maria so we are convinced the baby was a girl. The ER doc was a guy and just simply said there is nothing you or I can do, miscarriages are common and please dont try to get pregnant for at least 6 months. It was a very empty meeting. The nurse luckily was sweet and came back into the room to say to ignore the doc that she got pregnant immediately after a loss. We got pregnant with our 2nd within a month. We are now blessed with 5 healthy babies since our loss. But i too feel horrible about losing that one sweet baby and that I didnt realize until it was too late and I flushed my sweet baby in a toilet at my job. Ugh! My family was not supportive and my mom said it was for the best that my oldest deserved to be the baby a bit longer. I was shocked at anyone being so insensitive. I am glad you had family to support you! It took many years for my hubby to mourn and thus we appreciate these little lives we are blessed with.

You will need a car. And Creighton is in a bad neighborhood so be aware of that. I know since someone said they are from NY they might not feel like they would be intimidated but im from Los Angeles and its not pretty around Creighton but there are a lot of great neighborhoods I believe to the east and if you can live Council Bluffs,IA its even better as far as safety I believe and might be cheaper rent. BTW if you dont mind sharing what are your stats for your app. I am tossing around applying for the ABSN

I dont have my CNA yet. I am working on finishing my BS in Psych.

Good luck!!! Do you have your BSN? I know the AF is the hardest to get into but with a BSN i think it would be easier.

How do you find the NCLEX pass ratings?(sorry to hijack post)

Oh ok. Ill have to look closer at our local CC. It takes forever to get anyone to reply to an email. :)

I know the local CC has like a 2yr wait-list for the RN program. But do you think there will be a wait-list for the LPN program? Is there usually one?

well the CNA class would be across the street from the hospital(lucky this way) and I live 4mins away from the hospital! :)

You need to complete the prereqs before even applying to nursing school so look into the schools you like then do the prereqs

Awesome!!! Congrats!!! Keep doing w/e ur doing!!!! :)

Ya i think if I do it , i will wait until spring for the CNA class to get adjusted

Has anyone worked a 12hr night shift and then go to class? I am thinking about do this. I just was offered a 12hr shift 36hrs a week at the local hospital as a patient representative(checking in). I really want to get my CNA while finishing my bachelors then apply to Accelerated BSN programs. Do you think it will be too hard? Most classes/clinicals are listed as 4 hrs long. BTW, my schedule is 7-7

ya i know the ASN program only requires the lowest chemistry to get into the program but to get a BSN its probably different

Its usually up the instructor from what I know. I do agree they should be dropped from the class.

You can always fix your grade by retaking it but I have yet to apply to nursing school so IDK what they see when they look at ur grades. I would withdraw from a class before receiving an F though.

If you get ur CNA you can get a job while working on ur RN and have your foot in the door :)

my local cc offers the CNA class for around $350

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!

ya I love a thorough Syllabus! :)

Going through chemo can change a person. My MIL was awesome before cancer and chemo and now she is a completely different person. Its sad to see. She is cancer free now but not as patient and wonderful as before.

Congrats that would be a dream for me!!!!! I definitely wouldnt mind wiping those butts! LOL

There is a company called Airmethods that has jobs in Arizona for helicopter flight crews. IDK about nurses but I would look it up to see their requirements.

thats insane NU RN.
