Sorry, when I write in despair I seem to get really nervous and have errors in my writing. I have eight children total. I have a 23, 22, 20, 19, 17, 14, 13, and 11 year old. I only have 5 of my children at home. My 19 year old is in college and my 17 year old will be graduating this June. I appreciate your comment and I am sorry for the mistake.

Thank you all for the replies. I have not heard yet from the housing department. I want to tell all of you that I get so much support from this website. I don't really have any friends where I live. I really appreciate the love of support from this site. I will keep everyone upto-date on what will happen. Again, thank you all nurses and to all the loving member of this website thank you.

Blaming the parent is never dead for some people. I really admire you, it is so diffcult to work and go through the program just like your doing. I take my hat off to you:D. I was so shocked to find out that they had set me up to take the blame for my son. My son was in Juvenile hall for two days, he showed remorse for what he had did, but then he completely went back to the same person. He laughs that he had taken me down these paths with him. He wants so bad for me to lose everything I have. I also lost my hospital job on the 14th of Feb, because of this mess. I really admire your courage and your willness to push forward. You have a lot on your plate too. I don't want to give up becoming a Nurse. I enjoy people and I was told once that this was my calling. Oh yeah, everyone has been asking where the dad is in all of this. Well, he lives about 300miles from us. I did take him to court about 6 months ago before this all happen. He expressed to the family medator that he had no place to live and couldn't keep my son at the time. But all of the is a bunch of talk, the medator didn't believe a word he was saying. My ex has been with the Department of Corrections for about 15 years, he makes a pretty good salary. The reason why we divorced was, because he has a daughter who is 14 and I have a son who is 14. He carried on with many affairs through our married life. I stayed in this mess for the kids. I been divorced now for 14 years. I am happy being divorced. I have never dated or remarried after those years. i just want to concentrate on my family and get my nursing degree. i will be praying for you also. What year are you in in Nursing School?

Thank you so very much for your reply. I will keep you posted. I am so worried it's making me sick.

Hello Community, I don't know what I am going to do!! I would like to vent here if I could, so here it goes. I been on this site many times describing to you the awful time that I have been having with my 12 year old son. I have five children and a single mom. I know when I posted the last time I got a lot of comments on why I made the choice to have so many children. I wasn't offended, but I did make the decision when I was married to have a big family. Well, to make a long story short my 12 year old was arrested for pulling a knife out on his brother. I called 911!! I live in affordable housing, which is a federally ran program. Since I live in a affordable housing the property manager told me that the community, in which I live, has zero tolerance for violent crime. I had completed a renewal form for this housing project and one of the questions on the form was if anyone in the home was ever arrested under the age of 18. Well, I am a honest person and I am signing a legal document I had to put yes. My son is also on house arrest, which make even more diffcult, so since i am living in a federally ran program the property manager told me that I could be served a 3 day notice. I will find out today the results. I can't sleep!! I called his probation officer to let him know that he has been defiant with me and he still continues to give his school problems(thank goodness it's spring break now). I also told him I could lose my housing. The probation people had said that everything is he does is my fault. I know I will be getting a lot of feedback about this, but I have not created this behavior for him. I have an 11 year old who is doing great and a 17 year old who is also respectable. I just don't know what happen to this one. I know every child is different, but this one was woven from a completely different cloth. I also just started Nursing School. I got a 5,000 dollar scholarship to attend. I am extremely proud of myself, but right now I am sick to my stomach of what is happening. I found out today if I get served a 3 day notice. My other children don't deserve this. I paid the remainder of my tuition, book and supplies, so I really have not save any money in case this happen. I don't know what to do!! I just want to tell everyone thank you for your feedback. I am so nervous. I don't want to be homeless. I worked so hard to get where I am at. I can't sleep this has been a nightmare.

Good luck to you in your ventures as a Nurse!! It's great to see men so interested in this career choice. I have worked with so many wonderful male nurses. Best of luck to you. You will do just fine!!!

Hello Everyone, I will have to say that calling off is wrong. I do have all my documents of the days I was admitted into the hospital. I gave them to my Nurse manager, but I am part-time, which doesn't cover me under FMLA. My children were by my side during these times. I am blessed that I have so much support. I did not post this to lie to any of you. I just was merely expressing myself to this community. I just wanted to let everyone know that I got my termination letter yesterday and enclosed in the envelope was a check for me. This check was something that was given to me for all my hard work. In the letter it states that it was hard for her to fire me. I know what I can do in this line of work. I was a great worker. I worked with great Nurses, but my hidden heath problems didn't help this situation. I am sorry if I have angered some of the people of this site. I just wanted to express my feelings.

Summersent, I wish you all the luck in your new career. What major did you decide on? I am currently in Nursing school. I am a older person, so I am hoping this would be the right move for me. I work as a CNA for about 2 years. I want to concentrate my time on school, so I only work registry for two agenices. I want to wish you luck in your future.

I really have eight!! LOL, but never once called off because of my kids. I hope I worded my words correctly in the post. Thank you all that replied. This community is great!!!

DayOhioRn, Thank you for that post. You are right by saying that I was in the hospital 3 times this past year. I was also again on Jan 4th. The doctor said it might be cancer. I really have been a great employee. I didn't know that it was going to end like this, but what makes it more diffcult is that I had no FMLA or any leave time saved up because of my part-time status. I really am scared to death. My mother just died of cervical cancer. I thought I would be able to post this message without any attacks. I will work hard to be strong!!

I was hospitalized twice last and once this year. I am a older woman and my illness creep up on me. I let my employer know in a timely matter. I hope this doesn't effect my opportunity of becoming a Nurse. I have work hard to get where I am at.

Hello Community, Well, I guess the title sums it up what my thread is going to be about. I was just fired from my job as a CNA. I am also currently in Nursing school. I only work part-time at this hospital. I have been there for about 2 years. The reason why my manager fired me was because I called off sick to much. I had a valid reason, but nothing could save me since I was only part-time. I don't know my true feeling about this job. I really didn't like it! I did really enjoy the patient care. The patient was the only thing I enjoyed about working here. Also, the some of the Nurses were great!! I don't know!! I guess I feel a little numb about the whole situation. I have six kids at home to support. I took this job to give me the experience I need to get into the Nursing field. I don't have a husband, so I really have to depend on myself to get ahead. I am so numb right now!!
