starting pre reqs with a baby and a part time job

ItsThatJenGirl, CNA · Nov 17, 2016

My best advice is to take it slow - it's not a race. I've done most of my classes online because I've got two kiddos that I homeschool, so I really needed the flexibility. Online courses aren't for everyone though - you have to be willing to (essentially) teach yourself and be really disciplined.

If anatomy isn't your strong point, then take that class either alone or with a softer class, so you can focus on it.

You can do it!

Thank you! I am definitely going to try to do the slower-more focus based approach. I will be doing these pre-reqs part time. Putting the harder classes beside softer ones is a great tip as well, thank you so much I will keep that in mind when I organize my class schedule. I have the opportunity to do online classes completely reimbursed through my new job, which I may take advantage of since it's such a great deal, but I would want to take the beastly subjects in a classroom setting. Thank you again! cheers to us student-mamas. :cat:

I would avoid taking math/science classes online, for sure. These are just topics better taught in person, in my experience.
