hey everyone. i've been lurking here for quite some time and i finally worked up the nerve to introduce myself.
after giving up on my dreams of becoming a nurse, i have an opportunity to go to school. i just had my youngest son-7 mnths ago-after having a difficult pregnancy complete with a cerclage, 25 weeks of bedrest and the terbutaline pump and just as recent my husband and i of 6 years are separated
i also have a 13 year old. so this going back to school is a bright spot in my life.
i'm a medical assistant by trade (yes i know-been reading the threads ) and always just felt so unfulfilled. reading the threads on here, i get intimidated because of how hard the classes seem. i haven't been to school in years and only recieved my ged at 16. i'm still soooo excited, though i know that it will be hard work. i feel old now (im 30-i know that's not old but still) and feel like i'm running out of time and just want to start as soon as possible...
i'm thinking that i jumped the gun though, because i'm not even in school yet and purchased books on chemistry, microbiology, a&p, alegebra, and pre nursing exam. my plan (as unrealistic as it is) is to try my best to study and brush up so that when i go to take the entrance exam for school, i'll do exceedingly well and can avoid taking classes that don't count as credits :icon_roll
the hospital based school that i have my eyes on, says that if i have 3 of the pre-requsites that they require i could enter...so this summer i would like to start chemistry, nutrition, and english-is anyone else trying to pull off the impossible? any advice is welcome
