I am afraid if I am a helicopter parent the helicopter has caught fire and crashed. I am not sure caring about your child is ruining them. I asked a simple question to gain insight into the nursing...
Well, she does not have a professional license yet. hopefully soon. She has failed many times and got back up. Her history is way more complicated than you can imagine.I love the bath story. I forgot...
Thank you for your nice compliment. I appreciate it. She is very lucky to graduate debt free. I did not. That was my promise to her when she was born. I kept my promise. You seem a lot like me. I...
My parents never paid a cent of my school either. I did all myself. I have paid for one of her vacations. that was after she was accepted to the nursing program. She has been working since she was 16....
I suppose I can see where you might think that because of the original post. Coddle her? Hmm. Well if making sure she gets off to a good start in life is coddling I am guilty. However if you knew our...
I have asked her. Part of her wants to stay at ohio state and part of her wants to see another part of the country. She also wants to go to grad school. I will encourage her in whatever she decides....
You learned however and you did go back. Good for you. Life does happen. However almost all of it is in your control. At least I would like to think so. Thank
A nurse and a father. Well you have a good perspective. I know she needs a few weeks. But I am afraid that is all she should get. The program at Ohio State was indeed grueling. The fathers were...
That is a great experience. Very happy your hospital supported you. How cool is it now that you speak two languages and have a job you like. Good job. Thank
There will be no vacation to the beach this year. Has she in the past? Absolutely. I was an Air Force officer. Where were you stationed? I baby sat missiles. Talk about stress. I was out after four...
I hope she does just that. She has taken advantage of the opportunities she has been given. She has not screwed up and she tells me all the time how grateful she is. She takes me to a baseball game...
She understands if she takes a break it will be a detriment. I love the talking over whiskey. You might have the wrong impression from my original post. I can understand that. She is a resilient...
Where in Ohio? You know the more I think about it the more I wonder if this is more about getting out of Ohio to see someplace else than it is about applying to the local hospitals. I told her to find...
I never experienced it either. My father had no interest in secondary education. I paid for my education with no ones help. I wish you would have listened also if that is really how you feel. You know...
Thank you for your nice words.How great it was that you got an early start to your career. She is working at Ohio States hospital part time. I honestly hope she gets into the residency program there....
Congratulations !! That is awesome. She has worked since she was 16. She understands the rules of employment. She will decide what that means to her. Thank
I agree with you. I needed to hear from people who know. I am not a nurse. I do not know the field. That is why I asked the question. I sent her your post. She has been given the information. It is...
I appreciate the opinions. I would not have asked. Believe me I have a thick skin. I own businesses. You better have a thick skin. I did not have parents who thought college was important. I did not...
