I wonder if it is possible to successfully get through a nursing program when you are married to someone who makes life difficult? My husband has been hooked on pills for a few years now. All of the sudden, he goes to the rehab place to get suboxone...

Oh my goodness. You guys are wonderful. I almost started to cry, immortalessence. They do see how miserable I am, how miserable he is, and how miserable things are. My daughter is almost 11, and my son is 5. My daughter already has anxiety and is a ...

Flemingrl83- I am a Christian and the kids and I attend church. I have several people praying for my husband over the years and have done so myself. Yes, I knew how he was when I married him, although I was young and he was not on pills then. I have...

Yes, I have attended Al-Anon and have been reading about my co-dependency. The addiction is just one big thing. The big betrayal is the lies he has told me to cover up his pill buying. I found out from his boss' wife that he owes her money because he...

Helpful. I am sure I will need more time than this, but it helps that some of you did not need a whole lot of time and still did well. Thanks.

I have this same question. I have 7 weeks before my TEAS test. Is that enough time?!! Answers please!!!

So, I was introduced to the idea of nursing about 9 years ago from my friend who was on her way to becoming a nurse. She is now a nurse, as is her sister, mother, sister-in-law.. so on. I also have another distant friend who became a nurse, which I k...

Of everything. Mostly failure. I am a pre-nursing student. I have been taking my pre-reqs part-time for some time now. I really do want to be a nurse! But I had difficulty in Chemistry and I need to re-take it. I feel like because classes are getting...

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement! I made it through barely with a C! Went on to my A&P classes with a B and then an A!!! So micro is proving to be tough with alot of chemistry involved, but I am going to do this too! I appreciate the supp...

Thanks everyone! I got through it! I got a C, but I was lucky to get that even. I took A&P1 and got a B, and A&P2 got an A!!! So I definitely surpassed my expectations! Now that I have one more to go, which is micro, and it is so much like ch...

I am currently in Chemistry for the third attempt. I am doing well this time. Out of the 3 tests we have taken so far I got two B's, but the last one I am afraid I got as low as a D. I seemed to go in slow motion during the test. I am so worried I am...

Thanks everyone! So much good advice. I feel alone at times, and it would be nice to have more people to turn to who have been there, but it is true also that I don't need to bug the nurses I do know everytime I see them about my struggles in class....

Glad I came across this one! I am on my last prereq before I can apply to ASN programs, and I am taking micro! It is TOUGH for me. S much chemistry involved, and I was lucky to pass chem in the first place! My professor seems to grade well, but I eve...

YES! The kids and I all got the flu! My 3 yr old son is better, but my 9 yr old daughter still has cough and fever but no more vomiting. And I was up all night vomiting pieces of my stomach, and bloody stomach acid. Feels like my stomach went through...

I knew I forgot to mention that I am a pre-nursing student. I have been taking classes part-time for about 8 years. I am finally to A&P and I just don't have the encouragment I once had from friends who are nurses. Which is strange because I am d...

I am taking the first A&P next month and I just realized the lab is 3 hours! Why?! What am I going to be doing in lab? I am scared to death! I barely passed chemistry... the third try. Can anyone who took these already tell me if A&P was ea...

Gosh! Eww! Thanks everyone for your responses! Sounds like I am in for some surprises and hard work! Luckily, I am pretty good with spelling and memorization. Interest in the subject should help me also. I said eww of course because alot mentioned h...

Thank you. Amazing share! Helps ALOT! Looked up sputum. I would have to say that sputum would definately bother me more than the other things. I honestly don't have what it takes, but I really want to. I believe that I can do it. I am just gonna ha...

Thanks Tristannicole and wavewatcher. This is very reassuring. I am happy to have you guys let me know I am not alone with what I am going through. The tips help also!

Great advice. Thank you. :)

I am sorry. hugs. (I know this isn't a support thread or anything, I have just come across so many posts where you guys have lost a baby, child, or someone close, and it is hard for me not to post a reply to some of them because I feel like if ...

Sorry, I have no answer to this but look forward to seeing the replies you get to this question! Because I was wondering the same! But I have a question for you. How did you do in Chemistry? I have yet to pass Chemistry and then I will have these thr...

scary. Good luck finding what works for you. :)

I am already having a hard time passing Chemistry, so these posts scare me! I know it gets harder, but I don't want to get in over my head either. I am a pretty overwhelmed person already. But I don't know what else I would want to do. And I feel lik...

well, a friend got me interested in nursing almost 4 years ago. i started taking classes immediately and have been ever since. i had a long way to go. well, i finally passed algebra and am now in chemistry which is difficult for me also. well, i have...
