Has anyone gone to a nursing program out of town. Imean like more than an hour away when you have a child/ren or family. Im a single mom and I didnt get into my program im applying to programs in other cities ranging from 1-3 hours away. The schools farthest away are actually somewhat close to where my sisters live with their family. Realistically, even if I got iinto a school, I really dont see things working out. But iim so desperate and a little pathetic I just want to see the words accepted and fantasize about it all working out smh lol. Has an arrangement like this worked for anyone? I just want to become a nurse, I can feel it in my bones!!! Also I would feel so horrible if my daughter were in daycare all the time.

I feel like I have no chance at my nursing program but I will apply anyways. But my school wont allow you to retake but it offers medical and general microbiology. I took general last semester and got a B. I was going to take medical and try for an A but couldnt find adequate childcare. Anyways, my point is although I can't repeat my school will accept general or medical micro. Is your school the same? I hope you get in on the firsr try though. Good luck!

Thank you to all the mamas going to schol for replying. It definetely can be an additional struggle to go to school with kids, especially for those who work or have multiple children. Kudus to all of you! I will be study when i can and hope to tryong different metjods to help my baby sleep throug the night. That way i can study or even do my nails ; ) Thank you all for your advice and I can't wait for WHEN we are RNs

It can get stressful trying to pull childcare together can be streasful. I took online classes soon after giving birth ( though in hindsight I wish I would have waited a semester). Good luck!!

My daughter does co sleep. I breastfeed so it does make it easier. But of course she's past the age of needing to wake up at night to nurse but she has amind of her own. I noticed some molars coming through which has made her night wakings worse. Its crazy how much teething affects them. Last semester when I took physio was absolutely hellish trying to study. I think I cried a few times lol. I b only have one I can't imagine 3 and going through school!

Id retake all those classes. Some schools count retake against you, but I think some just count highest grade or others will average them. Do you know why you are not doing well? How long do you study, do you go to tutoring? Before retaking, you need to figure out why your not passing. Good luck!

Those are nice ideas. I need to head to the craft store pronto. My daughter gets tired of her toys fast. Lol your right, the more we stress the more antsy and clingy they get. Its imperative esp when you have kids to not fall behind. Thanks I will talk to her doctor but I truly think she just wants me near her id gladlt accept any advice. Thanks. It can be harder with kids but they also push us.

What a nice system you ladies have. And I applaud you for being able to manage family life and school.

Funny I just picked up a book from the library about getting baby to sleep through the night. Yes im extremely desperate. Though im not done with the book, it does stress having a routine which I really do not have one. Andi really wish I had been more serious about this when my daughter was younger cause this girl has a lot of will power lol. I must get to the point I can get her to sleep and she stays down. At times I feel like im gonna scream. Im not angry at her, honestly Its my fault. Until prob around 9-12mos, I dont quite remember, id hold her nearly all night! Thank you for your advice.

I dont think anythings wrong with that. You know that sounds like a great deal I do cosleep with my daughter and she has a sixth sense and wakes up when im not there. Honestly, sometimes I fo need some space but studying in bed with her may solve both our problems though I do eventually want her to be able to go down and stay down. But in the meantime I have a test next week haha.

There is a daycare at my school but they do not allow you to apply until the child is 18 mos. My daughter will be 1 months by next semester So hopefully I can get her in. It would be awesome to have her on campus. Very exciting thought lol. I hope everything works out. Thats great you have 3 kids and still manage school. Im having a tough time with just one!

Have a 16 month old and am a single mom. The only chance I have to study is at night after she goes to sleep which is fine. But she wakes up so many times during the night and each time it takes 30 mins + to get her back to sleep. The last few nights its been worse I really need to study for a test coming up I really have no one and cant afford to put her in daycare extra days. Im just getting so frusterated and down. I just got her to sleep *prob took about 30 mins and literally 5 mins later shes crying and comes to find me. I can only imagine how I will fare if I get into a nursing program. Im taking micro now. Its my last prereq : '( I feel like this is a lost cause. Anyone gone through something similar. How are you able to study with kids

I took an English class and it wasn't bad at all. But I was pregnant and so so sick half the time o didnt go to clasd. Seeing I crack in the ground would make me heave : ((. I think I turned in most assignments and papers but missed many quizes and ended with a C as well as a fashion clss I took the semester. These classes were both fairly easy but I didnt do well my gpa took a plummet. It really did takr a lot for me to even go the times I went I felt absolutely miserable so in a way im not devastated. B i truly did the best I could at the time. *shudders* I detested my first trimester.

No lie i am feeling and having the exact same thoughts as you. Im feeling so so down I thought I got aced my micro test but ended up with an 85. Im really having doubts im not good enough, and not capable. Im trying so hard. This is my last prereq and got ab A in chem and Bs in anatomy and physio. I dont eveb know what to do at this point *tears*. I would be happy to even have a low A. I feel like such an idiot. But I will wait till my daughter goes to sleep ans study. I refuse to give up. Just keep pushing yourself. Im gonna go to the tutor lab tues and see if someone can help me... maybe try a tutor as well? I wish you the best of luck. I understand how you feel.
