Is there any other moms who went from stay at home mom to nursing school? I ask because we have two children, 9 yo son and 6 yo girl. I've always been the one to take care of everything while my husband worked hard to make sure I could be a SAHM. I started first block of my BSN program five weeks ago and my son admitted to me tonight through heartbreaking tears how much he misses me. I am very lucky to have amazing children though since I started school he has been getting in trouble at school for the first time and being willfully defiant” as his teach wrote. He also cries at the smallest things that happen which is unlike he was before. I am typing this through tears. I obviously am missing them more than words can say and spend every available minute with them, though I wanted to know if any others have been in this situation and have any little tips that helped your children cope. My heart breaks every morning when I leave the house which will undoubtedly not stop for me, though I do not want my children to suffer any more than absolutely necessary. If that makes any sense.

I don't know if anyone else is still checking in here but was wondering if anyone knows if the classes will open up for us on loudcloud this coming week. I just want to be sure there's no required reading or anything before our first day.

Has anyone heard any rumors about when orientation will be?

I'm also fast track, so far I haven't seen anyone traditional at Boswell. I'm curious about class size as well.

I'm in Boswell also! Congrats on getting in! Are you in fast track or traditional? Also, does anyone know the number of applicants and the number that was accepted?

Has anyone else starting getting all of their medical stuff ready? It seems so surreal to be doing this stuff.

Amanda, I sent you a message on here.

Hopefully you'll hear something tomorrow! Crossing my fingers for you.

If I could post pictures here I would but the area is very nice. The GCU building is right next to the hospital and sits on a little lake. There's even water views from some of the classrooms. The parking, at least today, seemed very manageable and easy to get in and out of. Overall I'm actually very excited that I was placed there...apart from the extra 20 minutes drive time. The more I think about it, it might not be any worse time wise seeing that we will not be fighting the traffic right at GCU main or the parking issues that can arise there. At least that's what I have my fingers crossed for.

Do you want to get in touch outside of here? I even have some pictures of it. :-) I would totally be open to carpooling!

Where do you live?

Does anyone know how many were accepted or how big the classes are?

I'm a little envious of you being close to home, I live in Chandler so I'll be driving an hour. :-/

I drove out there today, I couldn't wait to see it! Are you in fast track or traditional? I can't wait to find out the specifics of our program!

Did anyone else get accepted in Boswell?
