Soon we will be going through the same agony we just went through recently as we sat and waited on the letters with decisions that were made for our lives at the moment.
We are all going to be positive through this process again and once again
I am positive, upbeat and excited.
TWU Nursing Program here we come:nuke:
Princess WannaBe and others on the waitlist we are still pulling for each one of you to make into the Spring 09 program. Yes, as we know anything can happen...hang in there:yeah:
maybe you could find someone else who has kids and do a baby/kid swap. like they watch your kids while you are in patho and then you watch their kids. like if your in class for 3 hrs, then you watch their kids for 3 hrs. i don't know if it will fit your schedule since you will have a lot to do, but it's free so might be a solution. it's a win win situation for both sets of parents.
Have u asked if anyone else's patho is ok?? Taking it in the fall won't be too bad if that's what u have to do. I heard patho in the fall is a evening class
They won't transfer in Patho...Have to take it at TWU. Or at least that's the info I'm getting from Katie Lewellyn.

Thanks. I have a lot of really awesome, fantastic friends here, and I know they'll help me get through this if I decide to take the summer Patho class. A few of them have already offered to keep my kids for me while I'm in class, but I really hate to ask them to do that. And my mom will help, too, but she lives 40 miles away and I don't want to ask her to do all that driving all the time. It's sometimes hard for me to ask people for help, ya know?
Part of it is that I want to spend as much time as possible with my kids this summer. We're planning on lots of swimming lessons, dance, and t-ball and I don't want to miss a single moment! Any of you other moms out there no doubt know exactly what I'm talking about. Plus, I "smoothed it over" with myself when I didn't get into the Fast Track by telling myself that I'd have the WHOLE summer with my babies. But I kind of don't have that anymore AND it's going to take two years instead of 15 months. I know, I know...I'm whining. I'll stop...AFTER I get all of it out of my system!
It's just another (small) hurdle, and I'll get over it. I didn't get this far in life by giving up! So, I'm probably going to suck it up and take that summer class. I want to make it as easy on myself as possible that first full semester.
I think the Houston one is ALL summer long. The Dallas one, which is M T W Th from 9:00-11:50, is just Summer I (June 8-July 9). Or, at least, that's what it looks like to me from examining the schedules.
I'm just going to have to suck it up and get it figured out for a month. I have done SO much worse for SO much longer than a month...
I am a mother as well and my oldest daughter is in soccer. I had to miss a whole season, AggieNurse, to finish my core classes. Yes I really wanted to go so I had my husband tape all of the games for me and had my mom take her to practices. But I keep in my mind and I tell my daughter that life will be better when I finish. I have 18 months to go and have been in school for 3 years. It will be well worth it at the end. You have to keep your eyes on the goal for your family and whole reason to go to school. I have two children one 9 and the other 4. So I am pretty much in the same boat as you. But 18 months is going to fly by so quick. And plus when I took the tour of the Houston campus I fell in love with it. I can't wait to start. I feel very comfortable and everyone is there to help you succeed. Besides, you are now finally going to be studying the things that you will need to know when you become a nurse. That is so exciting.
Aggie as long as those kids are busy this summer I'm sure they will be ok. Wjen my mother was still alive when I was little she was working on her phd and I was in so much stuff. Honestly now I really don't remember all that stuff. So depending on how young they r its really not that bad
Eamaya I give it to you to be a mother so young. I thought maybe I would be ready when I graduated but I see I won't be. No time soon and maybe never
