How did you find your error?

Congratulations!

"I worked for 7 years as the night ER-nurse at a local hospital." Please do not refer to yourself as a nurse. "Nurse" is a legally protect title. There's a reason why the new insurance carrier wouldn't insure you, (not meant as a personal attack, really) you are not qualified to fill the position you were filling. Good luck in school.

libnat, I see that you are a "pre-nursing student", if you get into a nursing program you will likely be taught right off the bat the importance of the title of RN or LPN and exactly why it is not only illegal but dangerous to misrepresent yourself. Good luck in school...

About a year after I started my prereques my husband left my child and I. He was abusive and not supportive of me (he wanted me to make a nurses salary of course, he just told me I was stupid and could never make it happen--twisted really). So for me, it's so much less stressful with him gone. I'm not in my second semester of an ADN program and while it's hard--I won't lie--its doable. I study every spare moment I have and rarely get more than five hours of sleep but it will be worth it in the end. Text books accompany me to swimming lessons, I take flashcards with me to basketball games and go through them when she isn't on the court, and we do things like go to the park or an indoor play place where I study while she plays. It can be done, but there is a lot of mommy guilt. Are your kids school aged? I usually study at the kitchen table while she's doing her homework. That way she can ask for help if needed and I'm still getting some study time in. My only advice to you is to find a good lawyer as quickly as you can. You said you are "making him pay" but is it ordered or something you have worked out just between the two of you? We originally had an agreement between us when he left but he stopped paying after a while and I was then able to get a motion for temporary relief which not only gave me temporary custody but ordered him to pay child support and alimony directly from his check. We're still sorting everything else out in court but the temporary order made it possible for me to be able to not work and focus soley on my schooling. I know some do work while in nursing school but physically and mentally I cannot handle working, going to school full time and being a single parent (my program is not set up for part time students). Do you have any family to help you with child care?

Are you having trouble with finding exactly what the question is asking? I've found it helpful to underline the words within the question(we're aloud to write on our tests) that show exactly what they're looking for. If your test is multiple choice, try thinking of what the answer is before reading the choices so that reading a choices themselves won't throw you off. Also, when you are studying it may help to think of questions on your own. Read a section and anticipate what information they could pull from it for the test. Good luck!

Cuteazz1 when was the last time you lived here? We've had a dramatic rise in crime rate in the past few years, shootings in broad daylight, increased gang activity, break ins, and rampant drug activity. I live in "nice" north neighborhood and just yesterday my neighbor's house was broken into in the middle of the day. There are definitely parts of this town that are not safe. I do agree that there's nothing to do here. It's pretty bad when going to wal-mart is actually the most exciting thing you do in a weekend. :-)

I always say "Gee, I wouldn't even begin to guess..." after a few times they get the hint.

I'm a DACC student as well and I second the others on bring a car and warm clothes. I really don't have anything interesting to add I just wanted to welcome you to Danville! :wink2:
