I'm so excited

[SummerMeadow]

Hi, I thought I would introduce myself. I'm taking my prereq. classes this fall and the following spring, hopefully taking the summer off, then going back to school fall of 2010. Then applying for our nursing program. I'm taking soem remdial classes this fall, and my A&P 1 class. I start classes August 31. I just don't know how I'm going to do everything, and go to school. I have four girls, and husband who doesn't like helping unless it's something for himself. I 'm glad that I found this website,because everyone here seems so friendly and helpful. I hope that I make quite af ew friends on here, and be able to help you out like you'll be able to help me. So that's about everything, if you want to know anything else just feel free to ask.:yeah:

wow you appear to be a supermom! I really do admire women who balance school and motherhood . Good Luck!!! And give that husband a nice kick in the rear and make him help out!

That is awesome! I am also taking my pre-req's this fall and hopefully get myself on the long waiting list. Luckily I have the option to take all the non-nursing courses while waiting. I have 3 kids and just like you, a husband who doesn't help out much either. Luckily we have this forum to keep us motivated and sane. Good luck to you and maybe we can be internet study buddies.

I so admire you! Congrats on taking that BIG step in going back to school. I know your daughters look up to you. You should have a talk with your husband and explain to him how important this is to you and that you need his help during this time. Good luck on passing your pre-req's. I'm in the same position trying to get finish Spring 10, then apply. I hope everything works out for you.

Good luck!!!

"Where there is a will there is a way." You can do it!!!! I am staring nursing school next week and am panicked myself. I have 3 kids + hubby too and I can not get them to pick-up after themselves...I just told everyone that I am starting nursing school next week and will be really involved studying non-stop for 10 weeks... We are going full blast for 10 weeks, then we start our clinicals in Oct. and then a comprehensive final in Dec. I have been doing some serious organizing, de-cluttering, and hardcore deep cleaning. .....and that's gonna be it. I don't plan on being mrs housekeeper during the next 10 weeks. They will have to adjust. Afterall, we are all just humans, not superheros, at the end of the day.....Don't push yourself too hard....Just prioritize and do the best you can. :)

You can do it!!! I am 36 with two kiddos and I went back to school last fall. It is a big adjustment but I don't regret doing it at all. Just remember to take time for yourself to come up and breathe. I just discovered this place too and also feel it's been great to read about others with kids or hectic family life going back to school...this is a great forum! :)
