:madface:I have been busting my butt trying to get my prerequisites out of the way but doing them for 4 months a semester is just too long for me. I can't even find any courses I need that are offered in 8 week sessions. What's even more frustrating is my job, I work as a Nursing Care Partner for Sentara and let me just tell you, I am not happy at all. I don't even make enough money for the work I do. It only makes me want to be a nurse even more, plus I can only do but so much and I'm always being trying like crap. The nurses I work with have a tendency to look down there nose at someone of my job title. Just because I don't have a license or a degree in anything, I'm nothing to them. If and when I finish my prereqs, I won't become a nurse until 2017 or 2018 and thats way too long for me. I'm almost an inch away from considering LPN first. At least I won't have to waste my time doing prereqs because they're not paying the bills and neither is my school. I only make enough money on my job to pay bills and thats it. I want to be able to enjoy my life. I know that nursing school requires you to have no life and study study study but I'm not even in nursing school so I have nothing to look forward to. It kills my drive. Please somebody. Anybody! Tell me what to do!!!
