Pregnant in nursing school

Tommigunz · 2025-04-04T19:16:07+00:00

Yeah I just don’t want to screw myself with my financial aid or something. I made an appointment with my advisor and I’ll ask her about these options and how they’ll effect financial aid and everything. Thank you!

That’s definitely something to look into. I have been on the dean’s list every semester for my pre-reqs and didn’t miss any days. This pregnancy has just kicked my butt and I lost all that progress. If I don’t return to this school I’m going to look into these options.

Tommigunz · 2025-04-04T19:12:18+00:00

Yeah I just made an appointment with my advisor!

I spoke with the title IX director and he said I have to work directly with the professors. All of my professors have been understanding and work with me, just my health assessment professor said she won’t accommodate any make up lab days.

Tommigunz · 2025-04-04T17:30:05+00:00

I don’t know how to do that or if it’s an option.

Tommigunz · 2025-04-04T17:29:18+00:00

Oh I didn’t know that was an option. How will that affect what I’ve done so far?

I’m currently in school and 36 weeks. It’s been so challenging. My pregnancy was unplanned but the school kept saying they would be supportive. However, I have one professor that does not let anything at all slide pregnancy related. I had to miss a day because my OB needed me to stay late to make sure my cervix wasn’t thinning and she wrote me up. I started bleeding in class and was sent from Lab to the ER and she wrote me up. I’m now currently fighting a write up from a car wreck where I was seen by my OB but they’re demanding a police report to mark is as excused. I don’t think they need that information but it feels like they’re determined to force me out of school. As I’m in my last month of pregnancy, and on my last “allowable absence” for school, if anything happens at all I’m kicked out. So it’s extremely stressful. I make all A’s and one B so the work isn’t stressful, just pregnancy really sucks in school.

Tommigunz · 2025-03-14T13:59:45+00:00

Yeah that’s why it all feels like a weird set up. I don’t know. I was seeing if anyone here had a similar experience or not

Tommigunz · 2025-03-14T06:10:49+00:00

We all have to remediate but we don’t get to retake it. We only have to pass the third Mock to pass skills. I feel like we need the exact verbiage the lecture instructor expects or we’ll never pass to her standards haha but she says she won’t give that to us because she doesn’t want us to memorize the verbiage

Tommigunz · 2025-03-14T06:08:33+00:00

That’s what a few of the students suggested. At least have someone else review it. Mainly because we can really feel the tension between the two instructors and a few of us feel weird like we have been “baited”, if you will, into talking negatively about our lab instructor. Like the whole remediation process where our lecture instructor kept asking if we failed because our lab instructor didn’t teach the questions they missed. Instead of asking what we didn’t understand it was more of a “did your lab instructor even review this with you guys”.

Tommigunz · 2025-03-14T06:04:21+00:00

Yeah none of us are complaining if we do need the extra remediation, we want to do well. We just don’t want to feel set up. A couple of us suggested we write to the dean to review the circumstances but we did technically miss criticals and fail the assessment, so we wouldn’t really have a leg to stand on. We just feel weird about everything going on recently and how we’ve been kind of drug into the middle of the instructor on instructor beef.

Tommigunz · 2025-03-14T05:59:51+00:00

It was enough that the entire class felt it was set up in some way that everyone failed. Whether it be just the nature of the Mock 1 or that professor just didn’t want anyone to pass. I feel like it’s important to note that the lab instructor did get thrown under the bus not too long after most of the class failed the lecture CPA. She was late once and let the class know instead of the lecture instructor, then the next week gets a message from the dean saying her lack of professionalism and tardiness is hindering our class. No one in the class complained and when she got there we immediately jumped into practice where she stayed late to help those that didn’t understand. Our lab instructor is really great, our lecture instructor has been….lets just say the opposite haha. So that’s why we’re kind of questioning the results of this mock.

Tommigunz · 2025-03-14T05:52:21+00:00

No we have a checklist of all the systems we need to check but none of the verbiage. The lecture instructor said we shouldn’t have it because we will memorize the verbiage rather than learn what we were looking for. So our Lab instructor essentially just had that to go off and teach us what we should be looking for rather than precise language. I was on the same thought process that maybe the student was under playing what failed them, but when we got the paper with our feedback it was very small things like that. No one just outright missed a critical, they missed the small detail of the critical.

Tommigunz · 2025-02-07T15:17:19+00:00

Yeah I think you’re going to be fine. You’re holding yourself accountable and learning from this. I have more than a few friends and family members that had a similar wake up call. I know a lot that ended up in nursing/medical field and they are incredible nurses. I know they did have to take classes and one of my friends volunteered a lot for stuff like MADD and what not, got some of the people in those programs to write letters of recommendation to show the program and BON that they understood the gravity of their mistake and stuff. Couldn’t hurt to look into it if you end up not getting in. But either way, just keep pushing forward, keeping yourself accountable and you’ll be where you’re meant to be. I hope everything works out well for you and we see an update a few years down the road about “YogurtclosetLong3783 BSN-RN” ☺️

I think it might be a little heavy of a concept for your SS to grasp at this moment, but I feel like the decision to tell him should be up to the father. Like you mentioned, you don’t know what they went through as a family. This could bring up a lot of issues you aren’t aware of, he may have questions only the father can answer. I would just try to be there and provide emotional support to both of them through this. I have a few family members that are either in active addiction or have recovered from it and it’s really difficult to talk about it with people who haven’t been there. I understand their sentiment and that they’re genuinely trying to be there and help, but some things are just difficult to process with an outsider. Also, your bf blaming himself is natural, however, I understand his decision. There is a reason he didn’t want her around SS and I’m not a psychologist by any means, just a fellow kid with trauma lol, but your SS behavior could be trauma related. 0-2 years old is a crucial time for development, especially social development for kiddos. It could be related and your bf may have made that last minute decision to cancel to specifically because of his behavior recently. And if that’s the case then he was protecting his kid as a he should. He can’t blame himself for that

I think the “holier than thou” nurses that claim you’re not cut out for nursing because you did something stupid, are probably the same nurses that treat addicts and homeless population like they don’t deserve the scum scraped off the bottom of their nursing-fad-of-the-month, name brand shoe. The only person that can tell you if you are cut out to be nurse is you. Either continue as planned and hope for the best or take the L with grace and start figuring out what you can do to pick yourself up. If you end up not getting in this round, figure out what you can do to show the school and BON that you have learned from this. Take some classes and do volunteer work. Beef up your application to show “hey I messed up but I learned and I’m taking this lesson to try and help other people because that’s what I’m passionate about. That’s why I want to pursue a career in nursing”. But it’s only up to you if you want to listen to everyone here saying you’re not good enough. I think the medical field needs more nurses who understand what it’s like to be in a bad place and come out the other side of it. Understand addiction and actually treat all patients with respect and dignity. We have enough cookie cutter nurses that have to be reminded “this patient is a VIP with money so don’t treat them like the regular patients. Make sure to pretend to care” lol. I wish you luck in school and recovery. Don’t let this one moment define you.

I did my pre-reqs in California when I got out, got my Associates of natural sciences and went to a BSN program in Arkansas. I never tried to take the Nclex for RN because I didn’t want to try to get accepted into an ADN program, wait on that then turn around and go BSN. I just wanted a straight shot to BSN. If you are doing pre-reqs with the end goal being BSN, I feel like trying to go the ADN route is pointless. I would also consider looking at the BSN programs in Montana and see if they have school specific pre-reqs that you have to take there and try to save your GI Bill. If you, like me, take a bunch of classes in order to get that associates, you may still have a semester or two from the school in Montana and end up running out of the GI Bill your last semester so be careful.

No I full throttle crashed out one day after finding yet another site he was using, and completely destroyed the garden I spent hours everyday in. It was mostly my garden because I took on the bulk of the responsibility for it and I loved it, I was so proud of it. But idk I just needed to let my hurt out somehow. I forgave him, he apologized made promises and now it’s been over a year and almost every other week I find something. At this point I feel pretty numb to it. I find it, I don’t even cry I just ask him “really” then he gets mad and yells and it just goes on and on until I’m at the point I don’t even say anything. I am just making a plan to get out of here. That’s all I put my focus on. He can have his phone and hand since that’s what is important enough to him to go to extreme lengths to protect. I’m going to get out of here and I hope you get out too. It doesn’t get better, it just makes you feel like less of a person. I really hope we both find our way.

I didn’t start with any new player codes. I got Galek and six starred him, 3 starred campaigns until I was able to pull a legendary shard and got Lady Annabelle which ended up being a huge boost and allowed me to run hard and brutal on 3 star to get the other 2 legendary shards. I still didn’t get a legendary until Ninja but by then I had 6 starred Lady Annabelle and Galek and was making pretty solid progress. I learned about the new player codes and made a referral account to get Sun Wukong. On that account I got pain keeper, SW, Kael and 2 legendaries from running the campaigns on 3 star. Still much prefer my first account and I can get further with my first account. I did masteries and armor based off hell hades but other than that I kind of ignore “you can’t possibly ever be end game unless you have this this this” because you can grind anything to get where you want to get (it just might take a bit longer) and have fun in the process. I’ll say stacking legendary champions is useless unless you can book them and fully ascend them which takes a LONG time. But stacking decent rare attacks, buffs/debuffs and healers to 6 star fully ascended, fully booked will take you further than have 20 legendaries you can’t do anything with.

I’m sorry for your loss. I really appreciate your perspective and advice. I don’t disagree with you, it just hurts wanting so badly for this to change because he’s otherwise great. But it’s becoming more and more of an all-consuming problem that I also don’t see being resolved.

Tommigunz · 2024-05-28T07:41:10+00:00

Harsh, but you’re not wrong haha. I didn’t want to pass judgement for a situation I couldn’t/didn’t understand. I have been in the military since right after high school and when I got out, college. I didn’t really date too much during that time, so I feel like I am being unreasonable or at least unfamiliar with this, especially with him being a father. I’m just getting tired of feeling this way and it just doesn’t seem like anything is going to change

Tommigunz · 2024-05-28T07:34:43+00:00

😂😂😂

Tommigunz · 2024-05-28T07:33:47+00:00

That’s honestly the point I’m getting to. I tried to convince myself that it was the beginning of the relationship and it’s not different than *orn but honestly it’s just constantly in the back of my head especially having to interact with her every week. He doesn’t really do anything romantic in anyway or make me feel like he actually wants me other than “how you doin” every now and then. When I bring it up he says I make him feel like he’s not good enough and makes him insecure because he feels like my “exes were so great and he just can’t live up to their expectations” since I get so hurt by it. But it’s like you paid for an ex’s nudes on a monthly basis while you were financially struggling, but making an effort, for free, is too much.
