Its so encouraging to hear that other moms with kids at home are making it. thanks all! its frustrating sometimes because I have to take just a few classes so I can still stay home with my kid, but I know it will be worth it.

Hi Mkue,

Thanks for the personal welcome! Italy is beautiful and now I am REALLY starting to miss it. I guess it's true that you don't know what you have until it's gone. I couldn't wait to return stateside, but now I realize that I was living a real dream. It's a different culture in many ways and the history is amazing. I lived in Bella Napoli. (Beautiful Naples) Where are your grandparents from? The people are gorgeous and the food is awesome. I hope that you can go there someday to see it for yourself. I wouldn't mind to go back either. The only thing that I found difficult was learning the language. My hubby mastered it with the help Italian lessons (Univ. of Maryland has classes there on base), but I NEVER could get it to sound right. :D

I look forward to seeing ya "on the boards" and maybe we can chat soon. Take care.

Buon Giorno ~Ang

Hi Ang,

My Grandfather was from Naples, had to check with my Mom on that first. He went to college somewhere there and received a degree in Music. Came over to the states and never went back! I would love to visit there someday !!

So are you living in Tenn/Kentucky now? Quite a difference in culture !!

Have a good day .. mkue:)

Yes, I'm in Southeastern Kentucky now (very close to the TN/VA borders). It's a big change for us! I do like it here a lot and we just got snow on Sunday. It's been such a long time since they don't get snow in Naples. Naples is a busy city and it stands in the shadows of Mt. Vesuvio, which could erupt at any time. There are many different "towns" that make up the city and surrounding areas. I actually lived in Aversa. Ancient little town and rich in history. Lots of Mozzarella Di Buffala shops and Vino venders. Anyway, It's neat that your Grandfather is Neopolitan. Enrique Carrusso was a famous musician from Naples. Do you spend much time with you grandparents? I absolutely LOVE Italian food. This stuff you get here in America tastes NOTHING like authentic. My son (6 yrs.) is BEGGING for pasta. He doesn't know anything different. He's a little tired of "American" food. :D

Well, I guess I've rambled on a bit too long....SORRY! Definitely NOT NURSING related. Hope I've not bored y'all too much.

Ciao for now~Angie

Ang,

I imagine the "food" is much better in Italy !! I do want to go to Italy someday.. My grandparents are no longer living, they were very old for a long time if that make any sense. Wonderful people tho. My Mother still chats with distant relatives in Italy.

If I can talk my husband into going that would be great! He's a German, so we would have to stop off there too I'm sure..lol..

Anyway back to Nursing:eek: lol.. Keep us posted on how you are doing ! We can all learn something from each other. I have learned so many things aready and just joined in October.

Hi, my name is Fatima, I'm a wife and mother to 3 children. I have to dd's (who ar 7 1/2 and 5 1/2) and 1 son who is breastfed and 13 months. I am a Pre-nursing major who attends classes at night. That is for this semester...lol....should I get accepted into the nursing program for September. All of my classes will be in the daytime. Being the planner that I am....lol....I have already secured my son 2 spots in 2 centers. I liked them both so much...I haven't made a choice yet. By June or July I will have made my choice. I am very excited about becoming a nurse. I know it's going to be hard work and I have to try and balance my family and my education. I am taking Anatomy & Physiology 1 and Chemistry 101 this semester. It's going well so far and I'm very excited. I'm especially excited about A & P....the Professor seems pretty cool and she knows her stuff. Our first lab is the dissection of a rat.....I hope I don't faint....lol.....well that's enough about me. I'm just rambling....lol....Hope to post to you all soon.

Fatima

P.S. Oh....I live in New Jersey....lol

Hello. Just happened to stop by and thought this topic looked interesting. I am a 4th year nursing student scheduled to graduate on May 11th. When I started 3 1/2 years ago, I had a 1 year old. Now, she is 4 and I just gave birth to a baby boy on Jan 3rd, 2002. My husband is a truck driver, so I am a single parent during the week. He is usually home only on weekends. This semester is going to be a challenge, but I'll get through it. I have always been a full time student and am currently on the Dean's List. I wouldn't change having children and attending college. I feel I am a better student because of it. :)

Hi all. I am 35 years old and have a 13 year old son. He has Tourette's syndrome so I have had to take classes on and off until now. I have a few more classes to take before I can apply to nursing school. I hope to finish everything by the end of the next fall semester. As for which nursing school I will apply to, I am not sure. We are transferring at the beginning of next year and I am not sure where my hubby's orders will be for. He looked up what is available right now and the options are San Diego, Maryland, and Washington state. My hubby is in the navy too. Angie, I know how you feel about sea duty. My hubby is out right now. His deployment actually was moved to an earlier date due to the 9/11 incident and it looks like he will be gone for 7 months now instead of six. This semester I am taking Anatomy, Nutrition, and Statistics. I have worked volunteer in ICU and CICU and was once a CNA back when I was a teenager. I am getting ready to work in Surgery at the Navy hospital here on base too. I am really looking forward to being a nurse too.

HI:

I have three kids under 6 years of age. The two younger ones are twins. I also just began my clinical phase of my schooling. I am fortunate that i have someone helping me with getting my kids on buses for school and preschool. It is not impossible to do but a lot of work and added stress. All those single moms our there...those are my inspiration.
