Thank you, a lot of what everyone said made a lot of sense. When I was in Anatomy, I didn't think the material was hard. I just felt like it was time consuming. So I think I will try to take it over the summer so I can solely concentrate on the class. Thanks [en1024]. I've already taken some of the pre requisite classes and I am interested in being a Nurse. I definitely think I can do it. In my college, we have to take the pre reqs before the actual nursing programs so I really don't have much to worry about with taking pre reqs and those classes together. Next semester I plan to take Organic Chem and Micro Medical Biology together. I think those are two classes I can manage side by side. [amymina] I do not have kids but I suppose that would most definitely be very time consuming and you pulled it off, so I have no right to complain, right? [hiddencat] You are absolutely right, I definitely need to change my attitude and get a little more optimistic. But thats easier said then done. I am horrible at not looking to the future and questioning a thousand "what if's?" So I need to work on this obviously. My biggest scare right now is what if (see told you with the what if's!!) what if I get into the nursing program and work so hard then I just become so overwhelmed I end up failing out.. then I've wasted a lot of tuition money I've worked so hard to pay for! Ahhh, it's aggravating.
