Hello my name is LaToya and I have been following threads on this forum for over a year now but I still have many unanswered questions after reading all of the wonderful posts. I feel like the only person in my situation. I'm 25, married with three wonderful children ages 5,3,1. I have two semesters left of pre-requisites before I can apply to clinicals at HACC.. I love the prerequisites:heartbeat they have given me the opporutunity to really appreciate the human body/deterioration and I love learning about it, but now this chapter is about to close and I don't know what to.
I AM THE BREADWINNER, in my home so I can't possibly quit my job my husband is like another liability to me I have to show him what I need from him in order for him to produce, he is not a risktaker and he's happy to make a dollar out of 15 cents:twocents:. I'm the complete opposite I want the very best (hence furthuring my education). Our parents have raised us and will only keep the children at their convience, (I'm not mad they are our children) so what my situation boils down to is... I have no REAL support system (but yet everyone is rooting me on:down:) I can't quit my job, the low income areas in our town are war zones:devil: (its unfair to my children to even think about moving there). I have heard single people complain about how hard clinical is, so I feel that it would be impossible for me.. I am a very hard,passionate worker I love nursing and I really don't want to settle for less but what would you advise me to do? I don't want to set my self up for failure.. Please someone in my situation, please help me, I'm stuck, oh..btw... I want to provide for my children, NOW I don't want to wait until they're older to complete school because that defeats my purpose for furthuring my education... Please help me
