Does anyone know how clepping out of classes usually works with competitive selection? We just moved to a new state so I am looking at a couple of schools(one offers CLEP exams but I am not certain it is accepted by the nursing program)The community ...

I wish I knew what to tell you. I am kind of in the same situation. I have 1 in school and a 2-year-old. My husband works out of town Monday-Thursday. My classes start at 8 A.M and it is a 40-minute drive for me. I have no idea how I'm going to get m...

I have dropped remedial algebra twice. I was honestly lazy and undisciplined the first time. The second time I had a newborn (preemie) and was emotionally drained. I don't want to make excuses for it really. It's my fault but I can't change that now....

Thanks! I only have one remedial math before college algebra. I will definitely be getting a tutor during both of my courses. I appreciate your input/suggestions :)

does anyone have a specialty or specific reason they are drawn to/ are pursuing nursing? I love reading this forum but sometimes it gets very repetitive with all the questions about gpa and prerequisites. I'd love to find "community" here, if you wi...

Hi all. I will be volunteering in the NICU as a cuddler, this is a level lll NICU. I'm a stay at home mom with little job experience but I am also a full time student who is pursuing nursing(I'm still taking prerequisites at this point..I'm almost fi...

Thanks!

It's another type of pre entrance exam some nursing schools use.

They are fine( my daughter is 6 and my son is almost 2) I have 2 classes to take next semester and I plan to apply for fall 2018. There are a couple of schools I will be applying to, they all accept pax ..which I haven't even taken yet.

I'm glad you liked it!! I'm really looking forward to helping in the NICU(I have 2 preemies and as cliche as it sounds NICU is where my heart is..) and the whole reason I want to be a nurse. :) I am still taking prerequisites, are you in nursing sch...

I go this week for volunteer training and then I'll have my first day as a nicu volunteer next weekend. í ½í¸ I've read they use patient care assistants in some NICUs. I'm not actually sure what qualifys someone to be a pca? I've heard PCA and CNA...

thanks for the responses! :)

Is anyone else striving to get into nursing but feel that you may lack the independence/confidence to really be successful/make a great nurse? My heart is in nursing (neonatal is my goal or possibly women's care) but is this something that you would ...

I am 28, admittedly a late bloomer, and a stay at home mom(my kids are 6 and 1) :)

I was looking to be inspired and I certainly found it here! Enjoyed reading through all the comments. God is good all the time! :)

Thanks!!

Did you create the blog? I am a pre-nursing student and would love to eventually be in the NICU.. I have a long way to go( I am still taking prerequisites) but I will be volunteering soon on a level lll NICU as a cuddler(really excited about it) I'd ...

That would be an awesome nursing job the perks of being off with the kids would be a huge plus and convenience. I am also a SAHM ( I have a 6 and 1 yr. old) I'm a night owl so I plan to work nights somewhere if I make it into and through nursing sch...
