It's so much harder when you have kids. I have two myself and between going to school 9 hours a day, I had to choose between work part time or seeing my kids. I chose seeing my kids. I luckily got into an income based apartment that will basically pay me to live here and that covers my bills. I also have a fiancé who helps a ton financially but not everyone has that. I only got a big enough loan to cover my tuition. I applied for others but I didn't get approved because I'm only 19 years old and I didn't have anyone to co-sign for me. I'm struggling big time but I know it will be worth it in the end. Good luck to you!

It doesn't sound reasonable or safe even to me. I remember working as a CNA myself and one other person would be responsible for one hallway (long term care) and that was about 12 people, some who could care for themselves. I guess it really just depends on each individuals needs.

My very first day on the floor as a CNA I had to go in to watch the other girls clean up a woman who had a bad case of diarrhea. As they pealed back the depend full of loose stool, she started squirting poop everywhere! All across the room! On the walls, floor, EVERYWHERE. I thought I was going to die right there and that I had chosen the wrong profession. Yet here I am, back at it in nursing school. Lol can't scare me. :)

Food... at home... in a bubble bath. When the kids are asleep. Lol

I know this seems to be a pretty basic class for nursing students and it's our foundation, but I'm struggling big time with A&P. Do any of you know any good websites or apps that may help me out? All I do is study, study, study every chance I get but I'm sure as you all know, that isn't as often as it should be!
