I took Sociology over the winter intersession. I had to stay disciplined, but if you are comfortable writing a lot, it's a breeze. Definitely scope out where you take it, and figure out how the class is presented - and find one that works best with y...

I feel like I always comment on these threads, probably because I'm in the same boat-ish. I'm 45, I have a previous BA in another area. I'm applying now for September entrance. I'm currently taking Microbiology and I'm the oldest person in the room -...

I know your post wasn't directed at me, but I wanted to say: GO FOR IT! I'll be 47 when I finish, but I'll be 47 whether I do it or not, right? I also have a previous Bachelor's degree and many of those classes carried over for the ADN. I'll be pursu...
I just took the TEAS V today. I did not find it all that difficult, but was completely stressed about the math. In the end, helping my 12-year-old son with his math homework was probably the most helpful thing I've done, in terms of preparation. The ...
Buh bye now. He's got to go. You're doing great things for you and your future - he sounds like the kind of guy that will suck the life out of you - financially and emotionally.

Well, I'm 45 and hope to enter nursing school in the Fall of 2017. Doing my pre-reqs now. I agree with the poster who essentially said "I'll be 47 eventually, might as well be 47 with my RN." This is what I've wanted to do for years - this is what ...

Well, I just finished my first all online class - Developmental Life-Span Psych - got an A!! I'm a strong writer, which definitely made all the difference. Just started an accelerated Sociology 101 - whole semester in one month - so far, so good. Ho...

I'm 45. I'll be 47 when I earn my RN. I sure hope you're not too old...because then I'm ancient. The time is going to go by anyway - might as well do what you want with it! Best of luck to you!!

I can only agree with the sentiments mentioned above: regret gets you nowhere. I'm 45 and headed back to earn my nursing degree. I could waste time regretting decisions I made, but they make me who I am today. Carry on, and you'll be fine. It certai...

I can tell you from the perspective of someone who has never taken an online course before: it isn't too bad. I'm currently taking Life-Span Psychology online and Chemistry in person. Our grades are based exclusively on writing skills - so if you're ...
bethcny replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing
Hey all - I'm re-taking Chemistry and taking Life Span Psychology online. I took (and passed) Chem I & II during my undergraduate - but it was too long ago - I had to re-take it. I'm jealous of you guys going to school full-time - I'm only taking...
Hmmmm. I'm doing exactly that - primarily because it will enable me to actually work as nurse more quickly and then earn my BSN - hopefully - an NP. Locally, there is an accelerated RN-BSN program, but not a reputable accelerated BSN for those of us ...
bethcny replied to Kaytee12's topic in Pre-Nursing
I sure hope not - I'm 45, and just signed up to RE-TAKE some of the pre-requisites since I took them SO LONG ago! (I graduated from college in 1993 with a degree in Economics, and just enrolled to get my RN.) Good luck!!
