Thanks a lot for your feedbacks, I will keep them in mind...

Hi I am going back to nursing school after a five year break, I will be taking health assessment with lab. It has been so long since I took my a&p, fundamentals, pathophysiology ,pharmacology and peds/ob. Please give me advise as to how I would succeed in my health assessment class and lab knowing that I have been away from school for some time now. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

Thanks a lot for your positive inputs, god I wish my husband was as understanding as you are. I will keep you gys posted as to what I finally decided on.

Hi, I wanted some advise as to what am I suppose to do. I was in a BSN program for 3 years, I withdrew from the program in my junior year in 2010 b/c of family problems at home. Now I am thinking of going back and finish what I started. I spoke with the nursing chair at my school and she said she will accept me and I will just pick up from where I left off. I had taken fundamental of nursing, ped/ob and pharmacology and pathophysiology, nursing concepts....so I will start with med surg 1. My question is will I be able to pick up at that level, even though the chair person trusts me. I feel like I do not remember anything from my previous courses and I will have a hard time with the material at this level. I was an average student by the way, I have Bs and B- in some of the nursing courses. Right now I am 27 and have 2 kids 3 yo and 1 yo. having to take care of my 2 children and going to school at the same time scares me too. sorry for the long post and thanks in advance..

Thanks everyone for your great answers, I will call my school and find out their specific policy.

Hi just wondering for how long are your general education credits good for? Do they expire after a while? I went to a private 4 year nursing school 5 years ago and withdrew from the university after completing about 95 credits. Are my general education credits still good if I go back to that school? thanks

Thanks I know you are right but at the same time I am thinking that if I go back to my old BSN program they will probably start me off from med surg, I feel like I have forgotten everything and it will be a challenge to start at that level. Thanks again I will keep looking at my options.

HiI am new to this site. So I was in the BSN program from 2006 to 2009. I took and passed the nursing fundamentals, peds/ob, pharmacology, pathophysiology. Then i was in the middle of my med surge course when I left school due to family issues. Now I am married and have 2 kids a 3 year old and a 10 months old. I want to go back to school but I am not sure whether to go to 12 months lpn program or the BSN program where I left off. I know that the BSN is better but I am afraid that I might have a hard time because it has been 4 years that I am out of school. So I thought may be i should try the lpn program since they start from the beginning I won't have as much of a hard time. So any advises, suggestions would be appreciated please. Also when I was in this BSN program I finished all of my general Ed courses I only had my nursing courses left 1 1/2 years worth of classes were left when I left. Thanks
