Taking pre-reqs at Westchester Community College in NY.

Fall 2009

A & P I with Lab

Nutrition

General Psychology

Spring 2010

A & P II with Lab

Microbiology with Lab

Developmental Psychology - Life Span

Summer 2010

Intro to Sociology

Pharmacology (IF they have a Summer Session)

Bioethics (IF they have a Summer Session)

I already have an Associate's (Business Administration) so I am transferring my English Comp classes. I am trying to eliminate as many pre and co-reqs as possible, so that I can really concentrate on Nursing School. Unfortunately, I am going to have to work full-time and go to school part-time. Plus, did I mention I am a single mom? :lol2:The good thing is there is A LOT of down time at my job, my boyfriend (live out) is really supportive and my son is in school.

I want to apply to Cochran School of Nursing, Dorothea Hopfer School of Nursing and Westchester Community College RN Program (super competitive! :uhoh21:). I think those are the only 3 Nursing Schools in Westchester County. If I am wrong, please let me know!!!:nuke:

Excited to have a board to post to!

I'm returning to school for a mid-life career change. I have a B.A. in anthropology so all of my general ed classes are behind me. In the last year, while working full-time and raising my 1 year old son, I've taken A&P 1 and Chem. Here is my upcoming schedule:

Fall 2009

A&P2

Microbiology

Spring 2010

Nutrition

Med Term

(mostly because I want to keep my old student loans in deferment by taking 6 or more units, but also for the knowledge!)

Summer 2010

Nursing Assistant courses

I will be moving to a small rural community in Arkansas (in Hot Springs, right now) to join my fiance where he works, in the spring and plan to attend a local community college, Phillips, in Fall 2010 for my ADN while hopefully working as a CNA for the experience and to pay for school. Eventually, after working afterwards, I would like to take my BA and RN and bridge to a MSN program.

Spring 10

A&P 2 w/lab

Already took Eng 1101, World Civ, and Algebra. I've already applied to nursing school. Taking the TEAS in Dec. will know by Feb. if i make it in for fall 10!!:cheers:

[scrapworking]

Oh yeah!!! Other future students! It seems so far away - Fall 2010 - but I know it will creep up fast! I'm north of Tampa, FL trying to get into Pasco-Hernando Community College.

Fall '09

A&P I and retaking a comp. pre-req (I took it and got cred/nocred for my bach.)

Spring '10

Either Micro or A&P II

Summer '10

Whichever of the above that I didn't take in Spring

A&P I and the comp class are the only pre-reqs. The other classes are embedded in the NUR program and are the last of non-NUR classes I can take. I've already taken Stat, English, and Psych as well as a number of other classes when I got my B.S. in '03

You know, I will be honest here - when I decided to go for this, it never even crossed my mind that I might not get into school, what with the bad economy and all the people like me who are going back to school. So I am really busting my behind to get all A's and I'm going to study like mad for the TEAS!

Have you taken the Nutrition class already? I know that's one of the pre-reqs...all the online classes were full last time I looked. PHCC is my back-up if I don't get into SPC. Good luck and your concerns are shared!!

I got my BA 30 years ago and I'm doing good in Chemistry right now. You can do it. You are lucky there is a program where you are going. My Jr college just opened up local clinicals so now I can get my ADN.
