[QUOTE="guns are dumb, post: 1362419, member: 5564"] I'm basically in the same boat but I do already have one degree. I'm a non-traditional student at TCC, this will be my last semester picking up prerequisites to enter nursing school. I wouldn't let the age thing be of any concern, I was more concerned with whether I could do the work and do it well enough to get into nursing school. I do already have a bachelor of arts degree so I had to pick up about 40 hours or so for a bachelor of science. Hopefully, if all goes as planned I'll be entering an accelerated degree program at OU mainly for non-traditional students as it requires the applicant must already have a bachelor degree in another field. But, I would say most of the people in my classes have been older, non-traditional students, some with degrees, some without. Actually, one of my study partners has a masters degree in sports medicine as is working on getting into nursing school because she hated the work of the other degree, she's my age. Another study partner of mine just turned 39. If you have some college coursework, I seriously doubt you'll have to retake the ACT/SAT. I wasn't even asked for mine when I enrolled at TCC nor was I asked on my application to OU. Also, I would highly recommend TCC for any prerequisite work you have to get done, assuming you're in the Tulsa area. I've had better science and math classes there than anywhere else I've taken them. The only thing I haven't liked about going back to school has been the few online classes I've taken have been [I]much more difficult[/I] than their in-class counterparts. [/QUOTE]
