scared and i haven't even started ! Eeek

Hi, I have decided that i am going to go for it and go to nursing school.

This is where the fun starts! I am 40 and have no previous experience with nursing but we all have to start somewhere..

Soooo I am now sorting out my plan of action.

I have pre reqs to take which are

Anatomy & Physiology I & II

Written Communication I

Mathematics II

to take these i will have to take, Intro to Biology

and i am going to take Pre Algebra as my maths is very weak and get butterfly's just thinking about it !

My plan is to then take the TEAS after the pre reqs -

I have also signed up for a CNA course to just get me in the flow of everything to expand my knowledge so that i don't go into college blindly .

I would love to know your thought on the plan of action, Thank You Nicky

    I started at 49, am 52 now with one more semester to go. Chemistry was hard for me. I never had it in High School. I liked A & P. So far the nursing classes are fine. I am far from the oldest student which helps. I think the average age in our class is 35. My only advice is to watch out for some instructors. Hopefully they have kept up with the current industry standards. We have a couple that have such big ego's and like to grind us down. Fortunately the other ones make up for it but you always have that one that has a class you can't avoid. Do what needs to be done and you will be fine.

    I am 36 and starting my pre-reqs next Monday. I know I will have to work hard at each class, it has been so long since I was in college.
