When I was about five months pregnant, I started having severe pain in my kidney. When I went to the hospital, I was in the waiting room for what it seemed like an eternity. I was in so much pain that I begged the nurse for a place to just lie down. After checking she said that there was no place to put me. To this day, that sticks in my mind. It turned out that my baby was so big that she was blocking one of my ureters causing my kidney to enlarge. I had to wear a nephrostomy tube for the remainder of my pregnancy. Needless to say, I save going to the ER for real emergencies.

steady job and income are two reasons. The main reason is that when my daughter was 5 months old, she had to spend almost a week in the hospital for RSV. It was the most terrifing time in my life. The nurses that cared for her were so compasionate and helpful. After that, I knew that I wanted to be there for others the same as they were there for my daughter and me.

I don't fully understand them either. All that I know is that I passed. Did anyone else have a problem with that "Art is Propaganda" passage, or was it just me? I had to ask a nursing advisor if I passed.

I am in the RN program and the total cost for my books for the Fall semester is about $650.

I completely understand what you are going through. I am 30 years old, married, and I have a 4 year old daughter. I work part time and school full time. Whatever time I have left in my day is spent with my daughter. The only time I have to study is after she goes to bed, and by that time I am zonked. I realize that it is going to be more difficult once I start my nursing classes next semester. I want you to know that you are not alone. I know that it is hard. You give time to your daughter, your husband, school, and work. After all is said and done there is no time left for you, but I truly believe that it will get better. You are not being selfish or a bad mom. What you are doing now will benefit your family for the better and your daughter will see that. I think that you are being a positive role model for your daughter. She will see how hard you are working. It will all be worth it in the end.:)
