I am so flustered! Sorry this is so long!

[Bella Donna]

All my life there were only two things in this world I have ever wanted to be, and those two things are... A Cometologist and a Nurse! I have accomplished the first one, and now that my kids are both grown and in college theirselves, I decided it was time for me to spread my wings and fly, and to fulfill my dreams as well, So I went and registered and started taking my pre reqs, and the first quarter, I was given 16 credit hours, my classes were.... Math for Meds, A & P, Intro to healthcare, and Medical Terminology. I was so over whelmed, I went to my advisor and she said to drop the Math, and A&P last quarter, so I did.

Well she did not tell me that I would be penalized for dropping those 2 classes even though they were dropped before the deadline date. Well come to find out, when I was in colsmetology school, I had to have an emergency hysterectomy ( i collapsed at school) so I had to withdraw, when I went back I was jsut about finished had only 3 floor hours to go, when my mom became terminally ill, so I had to with draw again.

Again before the deadline, but now I went to see my advisor to tell her I was ready for the program after this quarter of pre reqs, WHOA! Was I wrong, she said I was not qualified for the program right now, I asked why, she said because my GPA was to low, I did not understand this because I have made deans list EVERY quarter I have been in school, I was FLOORED! I found out that it was because I had not completed those 3 floor hours in cosmetology class, but I have my license in cosmetology. I am so confused. Well, I was told that I am gonna have to take some BS classes until I can get my GPA back up to their standard even though they have documentation that I withdrew for legitamite reasons both times.

I am so frustrated, I want to just give up and say to heck with it, but my husband is putting more and more pressure on me than ever before. I feel like a failure. I see my dream just going straight down the flood pipes. I don t know what to do, I thank you for letting me vent.Sorry this is so long. I feel like such a failure! I have done homehealth before and that just resparked my passion for this type of work, but I am just so down in the dumps right now, I have lost my drive, ambition, and hopes and dreams. Thank you again for listening or rather reading this.
