Hello? Is there anyone in my situation?

[toyanzerb]

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

The campus I attend doesn't have the parttime option,but the other campus' does, but the parttime really isnt part time they just start later and end later... They aren't evening hours but all afternoon until the night, which isn't convienient either... I think when I'm done with my pre-requisites I will be looking into another school.

I agree with your post, I feel the same way you do most of the time but I continue to look at my children and the goal at the end of the rainbow:pntrghi:.. good luck to you

I am in another dillemma and I don't know what to.. I just got my final grade in anatomy and physiology it was a C:yawn: Thats a F to me personnally and to nursing schools... I know the information, if I didnt I would have withdrew but where do I go from here? Should I change my major? Should I aim for A's in micro, chemistry and A&P2? I can't take it over at my school for 3years because I did pass, should I look to take it again at another school? Please, Please I can take the honesty what should I do? Do I have a chance? My heart is in this seriously, I can't see myself in another major... I love everything I learn, I just don't know if it loves me back....:redbeathe Please someone give me some advice, my heart is broken right now...

Well hmmm.

Could be a problem. But then, you'll never know if you give up now.

You've picked your profession and you feel strongly about it. Use that in the next classes to do better.

Also, identify your weak points in that class, was it test anxiety? Amount of study time? Find out what it was and try to fix it for the next class.

Good luck!

OMG i can relate 110%. I posted something VERY similar to this yesterday. I am 24 with 2 kids, 5 and 10 months. I am about to start school and haven't even gotten in knee deep yet and am already stressing about the same things! I too make more money than my husband. LOL i also said in my post that my husband and kids were my support system, which isnt a huge or real support system when there's not much he can do with our conflicting hours. (Im first shift, he's 2nd.) So there's nobody to babysit when i go to night classes. I'm in the same boat, and im sorry that i couldnt be of any help, I just thought it was ridiculous that I found someone that was experiencing the exact same thing!! If you figure anything out, let me know because I can sure use it!! And i wish you the best of luck because I know how bad I want this and I'm sure you feel the same!! :)

I have no clue yet, I'm going to continue to pursue my classes and leave the future to God but good luck to you as well..
