I don't have a job that pays but I do have 4 kids between 2 and 8 and a husband who is never home. Cheryl

Good Morning~ You can add me to the nutrition online class for this semester. I am also taking Algebra and English online too!! Good Luck to us all. Cheryl

Oh what a bummer. Well at least I have something to look forward too for next year! So IF i was accepted next year then Nursing classes start when? Cheryl

No I haven't taken the HESI. I thought you had to have ALL the pre reqs done first. hmmm Well, when is the next deadline after this Feb deadline. Anyone know??? Cheryl

Hi :) COuld someone please tell me if we are allowed to apply to the program before completing all the pre reqs. Thanks Cheryl

I would take algebra. Actually I think you HAVE to take algebra before you could even take statistics, at least that is how it is at my school. Cheryl

I just submitted my FAFSA yesterday and also applied for the Sallie Mae Tuition Answer loan which I would use for what "free money" I didnt get, mainly childcare costs. I received an answer of loan withdrawn?? What is that suppose to mean? I am a SAHM with 4 kids, hubby is the breadwinner. I did not have a co signer. What do I do now?? We do not have the funds to put two little ones in daycare so I NEED that loan. OR Does anyone know with Stafford loans for example, if there is any addiditional money left over, if the school sends it to the student? Thanks Cheryl Future Nursing Student and Mommy to 4 kiddos!

Its not that I don't want to be a nurse, I just want to make sure I am heading in the right direction. To take the amount of time and energy in nursing school for it to turn around and not be a good fit for me. Do you know what I mean?? I have really been searching and I am 90 percent sure my heart says to go for it. So I guess I will and if it turns out that I was headed in the wrong direction, well at least I would have had a great learning experience. Cheryl

I am currently in the process of completing my pre reqs so I can apply for the RN program at my school. However, after reading some of the things on this board, I am having doubts. Too many patients and not enough nurses; getting sick all the time; the first 2 years being horrible are some of the things I have heard. I just don't want to invest all this time and money into something that could be a mistake. I wanted to go into nursing after my third child needed to have open heart surgery at 4 days old. The Rn's in the NICU were so inspiring and kind. I wanted to be like that. I have four kids and get sick so easily so when i read that some nurses are sick all the time, it was a turn off for me. I love the idea of working 3 days a week only. The stability of the profession. Helping people in need. I know there are bad part of any job. I just want to make the right profession choice. Any thoughts? Thanks Cheryl

Keeping my fingers crossed you will be taking the real NURSING classes!!!

Winter semester will be my second semester since starting back to school. This semester I have taking 5 credit hours which is 2 classes. Next semester I am taking 3 classes, 11 credit hours all which are online. I am taking Nutrition, English and Math. I am honestly a little nervous because I am already super busy being a mom to 4 kids under 9 plus I will be watching my g/f newborn sometime in Feb. So what is everyone planning to take next semester? Cheryl

I am so sorry for all this stress you are going through. I wish I could give you the perfect advice but I can't. Follow your heart. I pray everything goes well with your son. I have four children and my #3 also had open heart surgery and I remember when the flu season came how worried i became. Luckily for me, he is okay. I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. Everything will work out the way it is intended too.

After my third child was born with a heart defect called transposition of the great vessels that required open heart surgery and seeing how caring/helpful/supportive the NICU nurses were to him and us, I knew that is what i wanted to do with my life. Cheryl

INSENSITIVE. Are you kidding. I agree with you 100%!! I don't feel gambling is an addiction either. Your body doesn't NEED it like someone who for instance has a drug problem. Its all about choices. Hubby can choose me and his kids OR the casino. Easy as that. Just a matter of making the right choice. Someone mentioned the marriage vows. Yes i said them but in the end I am going to do what my heart and head says to do with the help of God. Cheryl

I just typed this whole message and I lost it. Anyways we did spend some time apart. I stayed in the house with the kids and he stayed away for a week but he wasn't willing to stay away any longer which i felt was very selfish of him. Someone here mentioned the marriage builders website. I ordered the books and workbook that hubby and I are going to work on together. Cheryl
