    fyrephish replied to cj1109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm pretty close in age to you. I'm 34 (soon 35) and just finished my first semester of prereqs. You got this! It's exciting and exhilarating to remake yourself at any age. I've been in retail...

  2. Waiting for Final Grades!

    fyrephish replied to fyrephish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess I'm excited because of two reasons: One, I haven't been in school for over ten years, and two I did much better than I expected. I'm not sure exactly how to judge how hard my classes are,...

    fyrephish replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    fyrephish replied to ladysushi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I learned that I can do better than I thought. I had serious doubts about how I was going to do in school after 13 years out of college. It's been a very busy few weeks but now I'm building...

  8. Career Change & Telling Your Boss

    fyrephish replied to fyrephish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. And Off I Go!

    fyrephish replied to fyrephish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't see my job being flexible as the demands for my time both at work and after hours seem to be increasing. I could go part time, but even that is around 30 hours a week which is pretty darn...

  13. And Off I Go!

    fyrephish replied to fyrephish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    These are great suggestions, thanks. I have a three year old daughter so finding time to study is putting me into sleep deprivation mode. Ideally I'm going to leave my job and hopefully work part...
