1. Mind is Spinning...Need to Make a Decision and Need Advice!

   drinkmoresoup replied to drinkmoresoup's topic in General Students

   Thanks so much, girls! The doula idea is GREAT; however, it would be difficult to do that because women go into labor at any time and I would not have a reliable sitter. My family lives in South Carolina and I don't know anyone I could depend on to h...

2. Mind is Spinning...Need to Make a Decision and Need Advice!

   drinkmoresoup posted a topic in General Students

   This is going to be a bit long, but I really need advice... I posted here once before about people discouraging you. Well, I am over that, but I sure do need some advice and have no idea what to do. I have always been a stay-at-home mom. I got marri...

3. Why do people try to discourage you? :(

   drinkmoresoup replied to drinkmoresoup's topic in General Students

   I am from South Carolina originally and live in Georgia now. I have lived here for the past 5 years with my husband (who has lived here for a long time). However, "Atlanta" is so spread out and his family is so far from us in the suburbs south of Atl...

4. Why do people try to discourage you? :(

   drinkmoresoup replied to drinkmoresoup's topic in General Students

   Hey, thanks! Once I make it into a program, I'm sure I won't be as worried or feel as pressured. But the pre-reqs and getting in are what worry me. My friend and I decided to do this together because we both want to be nurses. We were going to go ta...

5. Why do people try to discourage you? :(

   drinkmoresoup replied to drinkmoresoup's topic in General Students

   For most of the pre-reqs, I'm sure it will be a lot more flexible as far as needing childcare. However, once I get into the actual nursing program it won't be. Class will be all day 5 days per week. Kinda sucks... :-/ I am really struggling right no...

6. LPN to RN Bridge Difficulty

   drinkmoresoup replied to drinkmoresoup's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks, that helps a lot! I have read 50/50 on here regarding the bridge programs. My only concern is the pre-reqs. Some programs I have looked at only require that you are a licensed LPN. Others require that you take additional pre-reqs and I just w...

   drinkmoresoup replied to drinkmoresoup's topic in General Students

   I always knew I wanted to work as a nurse eventually. I just didn't think I'd start school this soon. I wanted to stay at home with this baby up until he entered kindergarten, but I really feel something pushing me to do this and do it now. Or at lea...

8. LPN to RN Bridge Difficulty

   drinkmoresoup posted a topic in New Nurse

   I am about to enroll in school for pre-reqs and am hoping to become a nurse. The nursing program at my local college just opened up this year and it will be extremely competitive. I do very well in school environments and know that I can easily get A...

   Thank you so much, girls. I think I figured out what her problem is. She just recently got accepted to a university and will be attempting to earn a different degree than her Business Administration degree; she has never been able to land a decent pa...

    drinkmoresoup replied to drinkmoresoup's topic in General Students

    Seasoned...I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. I can't imagine losing a child...you are a very strong woman for accomplishing all that you have after such a tragic loss. You will be a better nurse because of it! I have found new motivation rea...

11. Why do people try to discourage you? :(

    drinkmoresoup replied to drinkmoresoup's topic in General Students

    I appreciate the encouragement from everyone...I really do. I know this is what I want to do. I am not going to let anyone stop me from doing it! When I do become an RN, I'll make sure she knows it. The only thing I'm struggling with is when to star...

    drinkmoresoup posted a topic in General Students

    I'm almost in tears right now and don't know what to do. I have been a stay-at-home mom for 5 years now with a 4-year-old and 1-year-old. I have always wanted to work in obstetrics; however, I wanted a family first. Now that my baby is getting older ...

13. Question about core courses. LPN and then a bridge to ADN.

    drinkmoresoup posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hello, My friend and I decided to go for our LPN together and then afterward complete a LPN-ADN bridge program. Before anyone asks, we decided to go this route because of issues here with schools for the ADN. It will be much easier for us to go for L...
