I started my pre-reqs in August & plan on taking one class at a time, and as much on-line as possible.
My "goal" is to have all pre-reqs done so I can apply for Nursing School as early as Fall 09, but no later than Fall '10.
I have two kids (6 & 2), have an in-home daycare where I have kids 50 hours a week, plus my husband works crazy hours/days...
Anyone else taken this approach? If so, did you feel as if it was taking forever? Or did you savor having the time & opportunity to get the best possible grade you could for that One class each semester? I know it is very competitive to get in to the program here locally....I'm thinking that even if it takes me 3 or 4 years to finish pre-reqs, it will be worth it.
I'm taking Algerbra right now & currently have a 98 in it with about 6 weeks left...Next semester I will be taking Int. Algebra....Not sure what I'll take over the summer....
Our instructors for the pre reqs haven't been mean but they have been tough, I think for these subjects at my school they are the best group of science teachers I have seen they really know their stuff they work together as a team and I feel I will be leaving atleast AP101 knowing a boat load of material! I feel very prepared to move on, but the work load is tremendous!
that's great that you will walk away with a good feeling about what you learned. It's the same for me. We will thank those tough teachers later in nursing school .
Sounds like you are really doing great, good luck in your future.
I always enjoy reading your posts because you are also speaking for me a lot of times, we seem to have lots in common.

Thanks I think the samething when reading your posts too.
I am also taking one course at a time, I start this Jan,07(i'm now 34 yrs old) and will start to double up on my classes in the fall, just because I dont want to be taking pre-reqs for over 2 years. I guess I will see if I can handle the school work load and working full time, also a single mom...
You just keep going....one step at a time, 2010 will be here before you know it. I am taking my last 2 classes this Spring, luckily they aren't science classes.
