Every baby is a gift! My son came about a year earlier than expected, but I wouldn't have changed the timing for anything now! It will work itself out. Don't worry... You'll do fine.

I think, where there is a will, there is a way. If God wants you to be married, then He will provide a way for it to happen... not to say that it won't be difficult... but a bit more painless...

I don't think you were over exaggerating at all... I would be ticked also! That's just disgusting not to at least wash your hands before touching another patient!

Oh Sweetie - You'll be ok! Yes, it will be rough for a little bit, but it will be so worth it in the long run! You are a great Mama for wanting to better yourself & your girls will survive! Praise God for a supportive husband!! Please, if there is anything you would like to talk about or need to let out - please let me know! God Bless!

I just have to say that I am so impressed that you are divorced and still maintain a good relationship. Good for you! I wish more divorced couples were like you!

You poor woman! Good thing you have a supportive husband as I do! Our son was a surprise (all be it a good one), I worked full time before he was born until 2 weeks before he came... and have been home since. NOW - it is expected of me to stay home - and have no outside activities! I was a youth leader and sang in the choir in our church before we moved... and being gone for 2 hours 2 nights a week were too much!!!! They lived in our basement & wouldn't even babysit for that short time while I was at CHURCH!!! Now, that I want to FINALLY pursue school - AGAIN - this is horrible! How dare I let someone else raise my son!!! Are you kidding me??? 9 hours a day for 11 months - with weekends & evenings off & breaks in between!!! And I only plan to work 1 or 2 12 hour shifts a week! And get this... yesterday they call us & want us to come down there for the weekend. Want us to stay the night for several nights! (they are an hour & 20 min away). They NEVER come & see us! Why do we always have to go there & spend the gas... why do we have to stay the night??? We are a family of our own!!! They said they were 'willing' to babysit for a night and a day for us (which they NEVER volunteer for)... if we come down there. They live in a rual community with NOTHING to do and with hubby laid off right now we are being very frugle with our finances & can't 'afford' to go out & get a hotel or whatever. Why can't they come up here & get our son, let us have a night & the next day to ourselves & we'll go & get him the next day??? Sorry - don't mean to rant... just very frustrated!!! WE ARE ADULTS!

I will be 27 in May and am hopefully starting my program in August... NO, you are not too old! More power & Good Luck to you!

I know this is goofy... just wondering... Does anyone watch the show Scrubs? How do you like it? Do you see it as medically/socially accurate? They do have the stamp of approval by the AMA as being medically accurate. Just was wondering as hubby & I are sitting here watching it. (I LOVE IT!)

I'd also appreciate any information about this. I am petrified about the math! I have been out of school for a while...

Wow - that's alot of information. 7 weeks? What course is that? Is that the entire program? My advice - take it one day at a time and pace yourself. Don't overwhelm yourself. About Valentines day... most clinicals are during the day, so you should get the evening to spend with your BF. Take a few with him, you'll need it! You'll be ok... just be careful & take your time. God Bless!

I am going for my LPN first, then continuing on LPN to RN in a couple years. It isn't a total waste... just depends on what your plans are.

I would be very careful putting these very in-depth classes in the same semester. You may have trouble concentrating on one or the other at a time. Just my opinion...

Yeah, I'm just perusing a passion, outside of my family. Not that I don't love them, just need a little 'me' time.
