Thanks everyone for your responses, it nice having support from people who understand.

Hello I'm currently on my way to becoming a nursing student. I want to become a neonatal nurse and or work in the labor and delivery dept. People tell me its a hard dept because alot of bad things can go wrong with the babies. They say I won't be able to handle it. Is there any advice you can give, PROS and CONS, I really want this, and I'm going for it regardless of what people say. I just need some guidance. Thanks:rolleyes: Also, What degrees do you have, and what should I pursue to make this a reality?

May the lord bless her and the father. How terrible....

I have a two year old daughter, work full time, and my husband works out of town. So i know how hard it can be, but like laski said, DO IT NOW! Luckily my boss lets me take two days out of the week during my lunch break to go to class, and then the other three days I go to class before work, but i pay $130 a week for daycare. OUCH! I dont know what area you are in but I'm from Dallas Tx and they have a government program here called CCMS (child care management services) that helps with low income families. So you can do it!!!! Don't give up!

Well I just enrolled to start my pre-reqs, but I feel like I'm behind already because I was placed in remedial math and reading. I'm in the very last reading class which is good because its more like a refresher. But the math I have two more remedials after that unless I test out. Anyways, I hope to get all my pre-reqs done, also the program I'm going to make you take the supporting courses before you apply as well. Am I the only one who feels like this is going to take forever? I know that having a goal and reaching it makes all this alittle easier, I just hope I can do this. I want this so bad!!! My questions to everyone are: How long did it take you to take all you pre reqs, supporting courses, etc? Out of all the pre-reqs which courses were the most challenging? How many classes would you consider to be overload? Any advice would be helpful.... thanks!!
