Double blessing

Published

I am lost for words. This is my first posting on this site . Ok straight to my point. I have been waiting and praying for so long to get into the nursing program and finally God has answered my prayer. I got my acceptance letter for fall 2014. Oh wow! I am so grateful but the twist here is I found out am also pregnant . Hold on ...... I am married with a 9 year old and we have been trying for another for about 4 years . We tried a lot of options but nothing was working for us. My marriage was a strain already. I prayed to God everyday and nursing school and another child was top on my list.

now I see myself with the two most important things coming full circle . I don't know what to do . I am happy but afraid coz I have heard how hard nursing school is. How am I gonna cope? please HELP!!!!

i am due right about couple weeks into the program. How am I gonna do this? The only way I encourage myself is I say to myself" God this is your will and I know you will make a way" . Did anyone of you out there have a similar story? Please share.

i was at my last orientation yesterday before classes start in about 2 weeks. It's a lot to take in . The instructors let us know how challenging it's gonna be. It's nerve recking.

I bought the books already and gonna start reading today. I am looking at the challenge ahead and at the same time I am soooo nervous with family to take care of, job(part time) , school. I know a lot of my family and friends will not understand but I started telling them already "I will not be calling or visit as I used to because my life is gonna be busy this year and next. i have couple of demanding friends but they have to suck it and know that I am trying to pursue my career and make a better life for my family .

i am excited and nervous . If you are out there and wanna be a positive influence or even to share our experiences as we go through this time ,please reach out . I really need positive people in my

Hi all

I was thinking to myself if I am able to share the joys , then why cant I share the disappointments or if I can worst days.

I didn't make it on fundamental. Yes fundamental. First semester. I worked hard. Was passing the class until I took the hessi exit exam and I did poorly on that exam, failing the class. It hurts, am in denial.still trying to deal with it but I am sure it's still too early. Its painful, I put my family through a lot.

I just had a new baby when I started the program and I was 100% positive I was gonna do it and make it through. No excuses for anything. It didn't happen for me, am not blaming anyone but me.

I am now asking myself a lot of questions .how can someone worked so hard and not make it. This is something I can do.so what happened?

Am upset...very .is anyone dealing with failure? I can't deal with it. It affected me so bad ,..
