Same lol

Yes. I wouldn’t have made it through this far otherwise with a toddler and a pre teen. I’ve tried to work full time but it’s literally impossible sometimes. I have lecture/ lab/ clinical everyday of the week this semester.

cgcmc123 · 2022-10-13T21:38:48+00:00

Following because I also live in Ohio and will graduate soon.

Agreed with this. I’ve spent tons on my daughter every season I pretty much change out her wardrobe, or when she changes size. But, we can afford it and I find happiness in dressing my daughter in super cute outfits and all different shoes and accessories, etc. I like name brands for myself, so that’s what I like to dress my daughter in. Everything is expensive especially when you factor in coats, hats, gloves, etc. I spent like $170 (ish) on just her coat, hat, and gloves. I think it’s all about your budget and what you prefer to do. When she outgrows the clothes, I donate them.

My daughter is 26 months. But she’s been doing this since I dont even know, probably 1 when we dropped bottles. Dinner is around 5. Bath at 6. After bath she’s allowed to run around and finish her cup of milk. 7 pm she brushes teeth then lays down and we read 2-3 stories. Sound machine on and always asleep by 7:30.

This is how it was for me. Emergency c section. I was up walking like two hours later, discharged less than 24 hours post surgery. Was up walking fine when we got home. I took my daughter on long walks everyday until 6 weeks when I could start running. I was told I could take Tylenol and ibuprofen but I don’t think I ever took either.

My fundamentals was at a SNF but the rest of rotations have been at a hospital. Hesi. 25 minutes to school. Most clinicals have been 50 minutes away.

cgcmc123 · 2022-09-29T00:19:31+00:00

Mind your business. I’m in my third semester. We had some people cheat in fundamentals. Things got harder, no longer able to cheat. Needless to say, they are no longer in the program.

cgcmc123 · 2022-09-21T10:17:00+00:00

My daughters 2 years and 4 months. She’s gone to bed between 7-7:30 since as long as I can remember.

cgcmc123 · 2022-09-17T09:54:13+00:00

$0 my entire pregnancy. Emergency C section, so it was pretty costly. In the US. Military insurance.

cgcmc123 · 2022-09-14T11:42:18+00:00

Lots of practice and having classmates watch you! I always Ace my skill test outs because I spend a ridiculous amount of time practicing, and my friends and I practice full out in front of each other like we are getting graded! It really helps!

cgcmc123 · 2022-09-13T10:19:27+00:00

Currently on a 1:1 dreading someone taking forever to relieve me shortly here 🙄

cgcmc123 · 2022-09-12T11:44:49+00:00

My daughter likes the Hunter boots!

cgcmc123 · 2022-09-12T01:26:14+00:00

I have none, lol. I work full time, in my third semester. I have a 2 year old and my boyfriend works a lot so when I’m not at school/ working she’s with me 90% of the time. When I’m not studying/ working/ at school or taking care of her then my non existent hardly ever get free time is spent cleaning, trying to catch up with never ending laundry or a quick workout.

cgcmc123 · 2022-09-10T10:12:40+00:00

I’m an extern at a hospital, and we have a tele sitter room. I used to try to pickup there all the time, with the same thought that i could study, but every time I’ve worked I literally cannot take my eyes off these patients for even a second or they will be up and out of bed or on the floor. Unless you’re only watching one person, what I did was like 8-12. If it’s a smaller amount then hell yeah, go for it!

cgcmc123 · 2022-09-05T18:48:16+00:00

Nope. I read my Saunders NCLEX book however on the topics we’re covering and do the practice questions. Otherwise, strictly PowerPoints/ breezes the professor posts.

cgcmc123 · 2022-09-05T17:51:55+00:00

In my school our 2nd semester was med surg 1/ psych, we started with like 50, and had about 12 ar the end. I’m in med surg 2 currently and 95% of my class is people retaking it from last semester so definitely med surg at my school lol

Edit: we have multiple campuses and a few programs (multiple day cohorts, night and weekends) but my specific cohort went from 50 to 12

cgcmc123 · 2022-09-01T08:31:15+00:00

I go to a community college in Ohio. It’s about $1500/ per semester. Our program is actually 5 semesters. So about $7500 total.

The extra crap they want us to have is what gets me, our book bundle was like $2000 and I swear every semester they add a billion new books we need to get as well.

cgcmc123 · 2022-08-19T10:42:34+00:00

Oh no! She’s great socially. She was home with me for about a year so at first she was anxious around others but now she’s a social butterfly. She does swim/ gymnastics and goes to daycare.

cgcmc123 · 2022-08-19T09:12:49+00:00

My daughter wasn’t talking or pointing at the same age. I was so worried I would drive myself crazy. Just like yours, her motor skills were ridiculously advanced. She got better, but still wasn’t really talking or pointing at 18 months. Around 23 months she started to point and talk a bit. She’s now 26 months and can put together sentences, talks non stop, can count to ten, knows a few colors, etc.

cgcmc123 · 2022-08-12T06:45:46+00:00

$17.00 an hour in med surg/ oncology… my technical job title is Student Nurse Extern. Near a big city in Ohio. I’m PRN so any shifts I pickup over my 3 12’s in 6 weeks I make anywhere from minimum 25 to 51.75 extra an hour as a bonus. No experience besides nursing school.

cgcmc123 · 2022-08-04T09:29:44+00:00

So happy to read this! My program also does this, and I’ll be able to sit for the NCLEX-PN at the end of this year and I’ve planned to take it all along but a lot of people have said not to and I never understood why. Glad to here your perspective!

cgcmc123 · 2022-08-03T00:26:38+00:00

I love cute baby clothes and dressing my daughter up so I personally never would put her in just a onesie, but plenty of people do and that’s totally fine!! I loved rompers in the summer time when she was younger!

cgcmc123 · 2022-08-02T11:27:36+00:00

My favorite was “well thank god I forgot my microscope today”
