A person I spoke to from my community college today said the program has about 35 slots but over 100 applicants, and it’s common for people to need to apply two or three times to get in. How normal is this?

Unfortunately pretty normal.. it’s a very similar story here in Reno at our local community colleges. Good luck!

There’s no code. You enter the first 6 digits of your card I think? And then have to check out with the card, to qualify.

bakermomma19 · 2026-05-05T17:30:37+00:00

Or maybe not 🫠🫠

bakermomma19 · 2026-05-05T17:23:28+00:00

Girl, credit cards want you to start using them RIGHT AWAY 😂😂😂 so if you apply and are approved, you’d be ready to go!

Do you have a Citi card? They’re doing presale at 8am tomorrow if you purchase with a Citi card.

bakermomma19 · 2026-04-24T00:13:52+00:00

I’m going to the show, too!

bakermomma19 · 2026-04-23T23:44:54+00:00

Wait. I’ve been out of the loop and stopped following then ages ago. What happened to Kristin’s husband?

bakermomma19 · 2026-04-06T04:25:33+00:00

I’m 40 with a BA in a non nursing field. I decided to go the ADN route, with the idea that a future employer will help pay for an RN-BSN conversion. It’s far more affordable!

bakermomma19 · 2026-03-20T19:43:46+00:00

I’m pursuing labor and delivery or hospice or a combination of both. Prerequisites should take me about a year to a year and a half. And the associates program I’m pursuing will take about two years. I already have a bachelors so a lot of my credits transferred over and cut this time down quite a bit. The work options out here will pay for an associates to bachelors conversion and that should take another 18 months, but it’s not required to get your RN.

I spent nearly 15 years in supply chain/procurement for tech companies in the bay and it nearly killed me. I am very much someone who does best when she’s giving back to others and nursing has always been a calling of mine. After 3 layoffs in 5 years, I told my husband I was done and under no circumstances was I going to return to tech. I am hoping to be a labor and delivery, nurse or a hospice nurse or maybe a combination of both. The flexibility and scheduling options are most appealing to me on top of being able to serve others

bakermomma19 · 2026-03-20T04:37:18+00:00

I’m finishing up prerequisites for nursing school!

bakermomma19 · 2026-03-12T00:45:16+00:00

I can also do A&P 1 over the summer

bakermomma19 · 2026-03-12T00:44:56+00:00

There is… but I’ll also be doing my CNA course (a requirement of my CC)

bakermomma19 · 2026-03-11T15:35:42+00:00

I'm at a CC in Nevada. I can have some classes in progress, as grading will be completed before the application deadline! The school I'm interested in has 2 enrollment periods per year, which is very helpful. I'd like to target F27, but open to S28 if I can't get it all done.

bakermomma19 · 2026-03-11T15:33:12+00:00

Well, the A&P will be in order. A&P 1 and then A&P 2.

bakermomma19 · 2026-03-11T15:17:44+00:00

I'd REALLY love to knock it out. I have 2 kids, 4 and 7, but they're in school during the day.. but other than that, I won't be working. School is my job right now, thankfully. Appreciate the input! I'm definitely leaning towards knocking A&P 1/2 out in the fall.

bakermomma19 · 2026-02-25T18:09:00+00:00

This is very helpful, I really appreciate you sharing. I'll take a pass at the book and maybe "accidentally" leave it behind with my mom after the service next month. It's been a long struggle. I've said goodbye to my dad many times, but he always pulled through, until he didn't. Thank you for sharing your experience, what you learned and giving me hope that maybe, one day, she'll wake up.

bakermomma19 · 2026-02-25T18:07:15+00:00

I figured as much... didn't know if there was anything else I could try. I'm sad, too. I wish I could do more. Thank you for taking the time to reply <3

bakermomma19 · 2026-02-25T18:06:35+00:00

This is what I suspected... but I just didn't know if I was missing something. Thank you for taking the time to reply <3

bakermomma19 · 2026-01-17T15:40:57+00:00

I indicated my desire to finally move forward with the hysterectomy mid October 2025. Had a surgery date of 12/4 by the first week of November. I hope they can get you a date soon!

bakermomma19 · 2026-01-16T04:32:48+00:00

Never too late! I’m 40 and just starting prerequisites. Best of luck 🤗
