Hi! I just finished the RN program at the local community college, and I'm here to say it can be done (with a lot of support). I am 41 years old, am married, and have two children. I worked full time and part time as an MT during the past three years (my employer has been very flexible with me...probably because I have worked for them for about seven years). Be careful about thinking you can transfer your A&P courses. At the institution I attended, they required that you take anatomy and physiology I and II again if you took them longer than five years ago. You really want to have all your prerequesites out of the way before you start your nursing classes. That's why it took me three years. I already had almost all of them done, but I had to take the A&P classes, microbiology, a speech class, and this "Choices for Life" course. My parents were VERY supportive, and my husband did the best he could. During clinicals, we had to actually be at the facility ready to go at 6:30 a.m. Let me know if you have any questions. |
