Congratulations

Yayy congrats í ½í±

The WIOA program at my school is on individual basis so you never know. It don't hurt to try. The worse they can do is say no lol

Do you have programs at your school to help with daycare? I would ask financial aid or ask DFACS office if you can qualify for government daycare assistance. I don't know if this was what you were looking for, but I hope it helps.

Thank you. Sorry for the late response, summer semester is sink or swim. UPDATE: I happened to stumble upon dinosaur party supplies at 5 bel°w. I was happy because he is obsessed with T-Rex and Triceratops. I used a gift card from Amazon to order a dinosaur dvd. That is his big thing and I picked up a few things at dollar tree. I'm baking a boxed cake with store bought letters. The party will be a small thing at the house.

Your welcome. Honestly, I have no idea. All I know is when a student isn't successful they have to email the program director. I think they just wait until the next class is offered and retake the class they failed and continue on. Each school is different so you would have to find out your school's policy.

What is the school's re entry policy? Most schools give students two attempts in the nursing program. Do you have counseling services at your school? It might help to talk to a therapist before making a decision. S/he can help you sort through your feelings, identify what what went wrong in the program, etc. At my school it is included with tuition. Hopefully somebody else has more advice. Keep us posted :)

I understand that you are dissapointed but don't do anything irritational. The important thing is that you got pinned. There are plenty of people who would kill to get into nursing school and even more to finish and get pinned. It sucks to work hard and not get something you feel you deserve. I hope this was just a rant and you cope with the negative feelings in a healthy way. Good luck with NCLEX and finding a job.

Thank you. I appreciate your response. I will try to bake a cake with him. I tried baking cookies a few months ago and he lost interest pretty quick. His daycare said I can bring in cupcakes for the kids to eat that day as snack. I'm thinking about getting dinosaur toppers and having dinosaur cupcakes

Thank you. That sounds fun

Thank you! I appreciate your response and advice. I'm thinking about taking something into daycare on his birthday (on a Wednesday while we have class) and then going to the Zoo or something similar on the weekend. I have a bad habit of spoiling him because I'm always busy with class/clinical/studying.

Hey guys, I'm not working during this program and using assistance from WIOA. My son's birthday is coming up and even though I know this is only temporary, it makes me feel bad that I don't have a lot of money to do something big for his 3rd birthday. It's next month and I haven't been able to save up yet due to the tight budget. Who else went through something similar and how did you handle it? I don't feel guilty really, I feel sad because I feel like this is the first birthday where he will actually understand what's going on.

I feel bad for posting this now because it was rude some of the things I said and how it came off. I was just sooo frustrated and venting. The worst part was I felt like if I told an instructor or anything I was looking kinda like a baby and unprofessional so I just kept my mouth shut and finally came on here and just had to get it out. That rotation is over. Even though I felt in the way and downgraded, I did learn a lot from that one medical assistant so some good did come out of it. He called it cross training me lol. When I left my last day he gave me a hug and said good luck, I told everybody else bye and they didn't even say anything. The best part of this clinical rotarion was when I was feeling like I didn't belong there I would think of all the things I could do that they wouldn't let me and I started really thinking about all the things I've learned and how far me and my classmates have come and how much stress we have overcome. That was a good feeling. I'm so busy juggling time and a 2 year old and staying on top of things that that was the first time I had ever thought about it. Sorry this is so long, I just wanted to share that

Like I said I'm sorry if I offended anybody. I was just venting, there is only 1 medical assistant who is open to a student and the others feel like I slow them down. I'm proud of how far I've come and I wish they would let me do more. I've given only 3 shots since I've been there, the rest of the time I'm doing vitals. I wish I could talk to the patients and do our WHAT'S UP format. So medical assistants do a good job and that 1 has taught me a lot, I don't disrespect MAs, I've just had a bad experience and feel downgraded, that's all that was about

I'm sorry I came off as a jerk, I don't think I'm better than anybody, I was just really frustrated. It's frustrating being taught all these things and all they let me do is take their patient's vital signs. One patient needed an IV put in and they kicked me out so I missed that opportunity. I don't disrespect medical assistants, I just don't like how they treat me because I'm a nursing student.
