Hi to all, I'm new to the website and this is my first post. Lemme just say that I've been reading quite a few of the threads and you all are very encouraging, so thanks for all of the positive messages. I am a pre nursing student due to start nursing school in Aug 07. I am so excited about starting I get butterflies thinking about it. I too cried when I got my acceptance letter and then cried again when I was bumped up from the starting class of 2008 to the starting class of 2007! Okay so the reason I am writing is because I have a full time job, and a family (ie: husband, children, dog, & rabbits). In Aug. I will have to quit my 9-5 when classes begin. My problem is not so much as funding for school as much as it is funding my household. My husband works full time and when my income ceases to exsist we will be functioning on pocket lint. Now I am totally okay with the Ramen noodle diet, but my husband and family would not sustain very long...LOL!! So does anyone have any suggestions on making the household run smoothly? I am well prepared to get a part time job (although highly discouraged at my CC) but we gotta live. I can't see us getting evicted and vehicles reposessed while I'm sitting in class:o . I want this so badly. I don't have any family in this state. I mean I would love to move in with my parents to save money at least on rent. I would hate to see my dream pass me by because we couldn't afford to lose my income, not to mention I strongly dislike my current job (although it does pay well). I've seen you're posts, you all are positive individuals,and I know I'm not the only one in this dilemma, please send me some hopeful news... Thanks for listening.
