I really was trying to ignore this post, but then you went and said something stupid..well you said several stupid things, but I digress. You became a nurse to marry a dr? Wow!!! Basically you are mad at this chick because you are not her!! Your a hater, pure and simple! You need to get over this, and get over yourself. Please, stop watching "Greys" real life doesn't happen that way. I really hope you were joking in your post, I really do. Because if you think that marrying a Dr, is going to guarantee you a life of luxury, you have a lot to learn. First of all, as a woman in the 21st century you should be focused on creating a life for yourself, and not depending on some fantasy Dr. McSteamy to come and sweep you off your feet. Want more for yourself and your future than to lay up under some man because of a title. The question isn't about what a "teacher" or any man for that matter can offer you, but what can you offer that man? Good Luck love, you have a lot of learning to do, and I hope you don't have to learn things the hard way.

Congratulations!!! Your story really gives me the faith to pursue my goals, no matter how difficult things may get!!! Thanks for sharing.

Are you sure these people are your friends? These people have totally disrespected you, and I hate to be in your business, but its time for you to clean house!!! First of all, follow your dream and your desires. Life is way too short to let these dreamkillers step all over you and your goals. Do you!!! Do what makes you happy and to hell with those who disagree with your choices. I can honestly say that my friends and family have been terrific and very supportive of my career decision. That's how it should be. Good luck to you and remember follow whats in your heart, don't follow others!

I know things may not look so good right now, but if your heart is really into getting into nursing, then buckle down and retake some of the C courses and bring them up. You may have to push yourself to work a little harder. Try seeking out other students and try to form study groups. Find study techniques that you feel will help you retain information better. Also don't try to boggle yourself down with too many classes, so that you are able to give yourself the extra time to study that may help you. Good Luck to you, and don't quit!!

I understand how you feel. My name is what many would consider "ethnic" however I never really thought twice about my name. While I do think that some people may try to prejudge a person by insignificant characteristics, that is their problem. I know who I am and what I'm about. I let my words and my actions speak for themselves. While its quite possible that I myave been denied a job or two based on my name, I really don't think much into it If a person is so ignorant as to deny me an opportunity because of what my name may "sound" like, I am quite happy to never work for such a fool! Be proud of you are and your name and never let someone try to make you feel less because of their own issues.

Congratuations!!!:yelclap:

I do completely understand and wholeheartedly respect your opinion and your feelings. But I must ask you, why do you want to become a nurse? If you want to help people and make a difference in someone's life, do it. But you can't put restrictions on those you deem acceptable to help. Being a nurse you are going to deal with people who may not share your same ideals and morals but your job as a nurse is to help heal. While I applaud your courage to be true to your feelings, I think that if you are unable to put your personal feelings to the side and help care for a patient you must really think about if nursing is something you want to do. Good luck to you in whatever you choose.

I really think as much as you may try to reassure her, this is something she is going to have to work through on her own. Its hard to become really insecure when you have a baby, and feel like you are stuck at home with the baby, the bottles, the diapers and your body not looking like it used to. I think you are doing a great job in talking to her and letting you know that you are being faithful, but she is going to have to trust that you are doing this for your family. Maybe the two of you setting up a date night once a week will give her a chance to get out with you and leave baby at home. I don't know if you guys have childcare options but if you have family or friends willing to help out, let them! Encourage her to start getting out of the house during the day, whether its for a quiet lunch by herself, or to get a manicure. YOu sound like a great guy and you seem like you are doing your best to reassure her, good luck to you.
