Hey! My family and I are considering moving to St. Pete. We don’t have a set timeline, but doing some research it looks like the pay is low at John Hopkins. I have always worked in peds. Can anyone tell me what the starting rate is at John Hopkins in...

I know this is a totally off the wall idea, but I was in the same situation. I was struggling to finish school and be a single full time mom. I knew school was the only way to get out of our financial mess. I'm now at a school that allows single moms...
So the nursing program I am hoping to apply to once I finish pre reqs just added the requirement of TEAS testing. What should I focus on for this? And since I can't apply for the nursing program until next spring is it better to wait to take it and f...

I am 27, this is my second semester back. I withdrew from college the first time around in 2005. Had two kids, and divorced. Like others said take advantage of free tutoring when available, sciences almost always have open lab times, and there are a ...

Lab is a lot of looking at models and dissection. At least at my school, that's where the majority of our anatomy knowledge is tested. Yes, there are still anatomy questions in lecture, but more or less lab is the hands on learning of anatomy. You al...

I think there's a lot more to consider than just having kids at home. Do you also work? If so how many hours? Do you have a time where you can dedicate to studying, no interruptions? Is this your first semester back? Or have you been in school for so...
I studied like crazy and was terrified to take it...BUT I made a 95%! It was on the first 5 chapters. Feeling like my focus on really learning this material is paying off. I know it's going to get harder, but at least I know my studying style is work...

I take notes during lecture, reread the chapter, watch videos on what we covered via YouTube, do coloring pages, and use flashcards. We also have a mandatory study group that meets once a week.

Thanks! I actually like A&P so far. I heard a lot of people talking about how much they hated it in real life, but I find it interesting. Hard, but interesting.

Although my ex husband pays support it barely covers the bills. I am attending a tech school instead of a community college or university because its cheaper. Add in that under certain incomes the school provides additional funds for tuition assistan...

I am taking advantage of all times I can at the moment. Luckily my girls are in bed at 7pm so I literally clean and play while they are awake and the moment they are down for the night, grab a drink and begin studying until 11 or so every night. Add ...
I am taking anatomy and a math course this summer! First day I am on the track to being totally independent. I am a single mom to two little girls and this is the start of our future! Just wanted to share with people who get it! :)

I started on May 28th, second class is tonight. Studying for me is after my girls go to bed and our class requires an access code which works with my phone so I can literally do questions all day long in between being a mom.

I am not where you are right now, but judging on how crazy my life is, I will be working full time with school full time and two young children in my near future. I've come to the conclusion, that I have no clue how its going to work, but I have to m...

I am super impressed! And you make it seem so much more possible for me. I am struggling with how to make it work as a single mom, but you are giving me so much hope!
I am new here! I am just getting started with starting school. I have wanted to be a nurse for a long time, but held off on going because life gets in the way. I am currently going through a divorce and will have alimony for 4 years. I have some clas...
