Cheryl,
I can definitely say that if you put your mind to it, and really want it...you can do it. Don't stress yourself. I have 4 children also, ages 5-12 with a deployed husband...gone for one year and counting. I am currently taking 5 classes...2 online and 3 on campus, but I don't work. In the winter I'll be taking A&P II, Microbiology, and maybe a philosophy or other related gen ed class. I have done all my other math classes, 2 chemistry, english and other prerequisites. I'm 30, and just started going back to school last fall, but I'm about to graduate with an Associates in General Studies just to have a degree while I wait to get into a Bachelors nursing program. Relax, stay calm, and go forward....as long as you are going at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Kudos to those of you with kids! I only have 2 - I can't imagine 4. But I bet when you had 2, you couldn't either.
I will be taking A&P II (on-campus this time instead of the crappy online one I'm doing now) and Micro. I could do Nutrition online, but I hope to be working as a nurse assistant so I don't want to load myself up. I started this semester with A&P I, Physics I, and O-Chem, and just withdrew from O-Chem since I decided to go to nursing school and not med school.
Winter semester will be my second semester since starting back to school. This semester I have taking 5 credit hours which is 2 classes.Next semester I am taking 3 classes, 11 credit hours all which are online.
I am taking Nutrition, English and Math.
I am honestly a little nervous because I am already super busy being a mom to 4 kids under 9 plus I will be watching my g/f newborn sometime in Feb.
So what is everyone planning to take next semester?
Cheryl
hopefully med surg I )
I'm retaking English comp online (took it back with my first degree at another college, but got a C so I need to take it since it's a required prereq at this school) and taking A&P1 in the classroom. I'm a little nervous about that one, so I'm listening to a semester's worth of podcasts of an A&P class from another college while I'm at work :) Hopefully in a year or so I can drop down to part time work so I can take more classes at once!
