This is a BIG red flag for me. You're thinking of it at YOUR money and HIS, not a combined income. I agree with others who have suggested counseling. You seem to be treating him like a roommate, not a spouse.

My husband and I have always just thrown our incomes into one account and it is "our" income, not HIS and MINE. For many years of our marriage I stayed at home with our kids and did some work from home jobs, so most of the income was from his full t...

I just started working in a peds clinic as a new grad. My interview was pretty straight forward - the one thing they did ask me about that I wasn't thinking of was telephone triage. They wanted to know how I would handle taking calls. Essentially,...

As a mom (2 elementary aged kids, not homeschooled) I have NO IDEA how I would go to nursing school AND homeschool and be a SAHM. It's hard enough with only 2, and they are in school. The days I don't have class, I spend the time while they are in ...

We didn't get to pick anything our OR clinical day - they just told us what was happening and where to go. I'd have love to done something other than watch 7 colonoscopies in a row...lol.

Even if you took home EVERY penny of the 75,000, a $3000/month apartment is just about 50% of your take home pay. You need to figure out all your expenses: Housing, Groceries, Bills, eating out, car payment (if you have one), etc. I'd take a look at...

My Fundamentals class had a policy that they don't average in anything else until you have a 75 exam average, and if you don't maintain a 75 exam average, you do not pass the course - which in our case means you're out of the program, because it's on...

I'm 39 in my first year of my ADN...and plan to get my BSN as well. In my 12 person class, there are 2 students older than me (one almost 50). Age is just a number, it really doesn't matter! Go for it!

A little harsh don't you think? If her faith gave her the hope and peace to keep trying and work hard, then I'd say that God did have something to do with her passing.

I have 12 in my ADN cohort. I'm 40 in a couple months, another student is 42, and one is almost 50. So that 25% STARTING at an age way older than you. Most everyone else is closer to 22-25.

Yes! I'm currently in an ADN program. My certifying official said "no one had ever requested to do that". But all that they needed was a letter from my professor stating that I would be under instruction for XX hours a week. That number needs to ...

Yeah, it's in Chapter 7 of the Certifying Officials handbook, "f. Practical TrainingMeasured on Either a Credit Hour or Clock Hour Basis. Thereare several types of practical training that can be measured eitherway, whichever is to the student's adv...

I'm not in Nursing School yet, but I'm using my GI Bill to finish my pre-reqs, and applying to start this year. I've asked about this, and I think the key is getting the certifying official at the school to count clinical hours in addition to credit...

I'm 39, and finishing up my pre-requisites right now. I have 2 kids (10 and 6). I was lucky that I could stay home with them when they were little, and now I'm back to school (already have one degree). Here's my opinion. DO NOT WAIT. I say this ...

Yes, dead animals... If lucky. We get animal parts, lol. Cow eye, sheep heart. Lots and lots of looking at slides of tissue types, blood, etc. Lots of using models to learn bones, muscles, organ systems.

For what it's worth... I'm in my 2nd semester of prerequisites. I'm the "mom" in my classes. 39. Rocked the grades last semester. No one really talked to me or sat with me last semester. I've noticed a shift in behavior this semester. People talk to ...

I reviewed body region terminology, and system terminology (digestive system basics, endocrine, etc). I wasn't down in the weeds on random terminology. Good luck! I was using my med term book because it went over the systems in higher level detail......

I took it in January, for a 98 on vocab. They were all in context as far as I remember! I thought that helped a lot!

Wow, who was telling you that? And you are right, it is not their decision to make!

Not easy to balance... And I don't have a toddler, just two in elementary. I've let the house work go a bit, and passed more on to my children to take care of (they need to learn this anyway). My husband is so supportive- me going to nursing school...

30 min is not long - you need to be organised. Taking 5-10 minutes to plan the essay will be beneficial. Jot an outline to follow - introduction, 3 supporting points if possible, conclusion.

My guess is you have to apply to the nursing program separately from the college. Have you looked at their requirements for the nursing program? You may have to spend a year or so taking prerequisite courses before you can apply to the nursing prog...

I'm in Alaska. I did talk to an advisor today, and they are going to try to not make us wait so long to know! But still probably early July. I'll just keep busy over the summer!

I too used the app and liked it. I scored a 92 on A&P - and felt like the app covered most of the info, but there was definitely information in there that I pulled from having taken A&P1 and Medical Terminology. As for the 30 questions, they...

Any chance their grades went up because they are now getting the accommodations to help with their special needs? Also, it's probably better just to talk to them - and tell them it's not OK to be asking for test questions. Honestly I'm surprised peop...
