I decided to go back to school for my BSN a year ago. It's been a tough year working through pre-requisutes and trying to juggle studying, working, toddler life and wife life. Luckily, my husband is vey supportive. Although, I do wonder if he truly u...

I'm beginning to feel discouraged. Just had my second exam. First 65, First lab practical was 83 and my second lecture exam I just found out a got a 74. I need an A in this class!! I still have hope. But, here's the deal. I'm working full time, I ha...

Did you like the pocket prep app? I've seen some out there. But it's hard to tell which ones are the good ones!

It's been a challenging semester taking this class online. I kind of wish I hadn't! I also learn best in the classroom setting. But, I do love the material. I think I would have been stronger connections though if I hadn't been an online class. I als...

Does anyone have experience with this?? I am currently taking Patho online at a community college (I will also enter their nursing program next year). They don't even offer it in person. But, I feel unsure about taking this class online. There's so m...

I finished with a B. It was the hardest B I've ever earned! There's no going back now. But, I may need to retake it to get into a nursing program. I'm pretty close to finding out. Hope you made it through with an A!

Hello, I am currently in the prep phase of applying for University of Northern Colorado's Second degree Accelerated BSN program. I finished my undergrad 10 years ago. I took cop out science classes in college (Geology classes). I plan to go back to ...

Thank you! I have since done this. I created a pretty spreadsheet of all of the programs (somewhat) close to me. This help a lot! Thanks for the advice.

I'm still so afraid of this! I began pre-req last Jan. And, I'm almost finished with them. Unfortunately, I have gotten 2 B's throughout the three semesters I've been back. I'm pretty positive UNC is out of the question now. But, after I received my ...

Hi everyone, I am one semester closer to nursing school. I just began Fall semester with Patho and Microbio. then I can apply to start next fall. There's is a part of me that is concerned about taking off a semester before starting. On one hand, it'l...

Hi Farrah, I can DEFINITELY postpone the second baby. It's just a matter of our kids having a three year age gap or a six year age gap. It's silly, right?! It doesn't really matter. My siblings and I are all fairly close in age and I guess I'm just w...

Thanks for all of this detail! I'm trying to wrap my head around what life will actually look like. I have also had it in my head that once I start the program I won't be able to work. The hard thing about that is that I really don't know when that w...

Yes! I appreciate all of this advice. I have decided to power through. I am definitely concerned but I am going to continue to go to every open lab (which have been very helpful). And, I'm going to go to office hrs every week. I'm hoping that I do qu...

I'm so torn. I currently have a BA in Psychology. It's been 9 years since I've graduated. Regardless of the route I choose, I will have to complete all of my science prerequisites since I previously only took Geology and cop out science classes. I wa...

I have just decided to go for it! It's hard now that I've made the decision because I just want to quit my jobs and focus full time in school. Unfortunately, I have a 15 month old at home and a mortgage to pay! So, I plan to start my prerequisites th...
