*so i am currently a pre-nursing student transferring to gwinnett tech in the summer( anatomy and physiology 1). i have a son (4 months old). i currently work at a chick-fil-a (wierd hours) and cannot afford a baby sitter, even to study. they make more than i do so what is the point? i was reading that a girl in the pre-nursing category got into her program and that they make their options based on certain criteria, one of which was experience such as being a cna.

i got my*license*around 2 years ago not even knowing that where i live they bank the same as i did at the time and the only places hiring were mad far, about an hour and only wanted me on weekends...i forgot the whole thing because i am 1) a 7th day adventist so if i am gonna work sabbaths, it*won't*be every one, 2) it takes gas and almost no experience...3) i just don't have the passion for working with people who's families don't want to take care of them (personal opinion, hope this doesn't offend anyone reading). i would be willing to do it if in the end it meant moving forward towards my ultimate goal (labor and delivery/ neonatal/ midwifery). but at the time i didn't see any future use for it. i honestly thought it would help me make more money. here it's about 8 an hour...*

so with all of that information, should i still try to renew my cna liscence or should i just stick with what i am doing. i am currently taking one class. however, in the summer i will be taking a and p 1, then fall i will be taking a and 2, chem, and math, spring will be chem 2 micro and engl, once i finish those i can apply for the program next summer, take my teas nest fall, and be possibly(hopefully) accepted for spring 2014. anyone in here got any ideas????

knock the prereqs out the way first. do you not have access to student loans that could allow you to pay for daycare. if you're a pretty good student, you can probably study before and after your baby goes to sleep and still get good grades. taking online classes helps with flexibility. whan you start nursing school, y ou're going to have to have child care. there is waaaaaay too much to do (not counting study time.) i would be prepared to apply for scholarships and borrow student loans.

i don't know of how a cna license will help you through nursing school except experience being in a medical setting and being able to get a job while in school. othewise, in the metro atlanta area, all schools require all same classes for everyone. i know of only one school that has an lpn bridge program. there may be more.

Wow, looking back at this old post, I cant believe I even posted this. Sounds so ignorant and hateful. Thank goodness ppl can change. Well, am hoping that I get a second chance to make ppl in this chat think better of me than this. I will give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I am a mom of one cute little toddler. Married for 5 years this coming October. I am gunning for the 2014 semester and have a 4.0. Hoping to find some great future classmates to study for the Kaplan. I love studying our sciences and found some good tools for algebra refreshing and will be getting Mcgraw-Hill's guide because the suggested one for our school, which I also have, lacks in the writing dept. Physiology is more in depth than the book so past hopefuls advised to use lecture notes. Hope I get some good feedback and God bless all in your journeys.
