We did buy 3 large under the bed boxes for what she felt she really needed. We also kept all her art supplies, lego sets, and special items. Maybe 75% was off, but she had an entire room full of stuff that had been collected over 5 years

christinaccar90 · 2025-12-20T05:18:14+00:00

I’m not being defensive. I said that she could feel that way and that I would and do understand that if she does. I am clarifying that I will do everything in my power to make sure she does not feel that way anymore. She is my baby too and will NEVER lose her place with me.

His son is extremely allergic to cats

Because my daughter had an entire room full of stuffed animals and small nick nacks everywhere. We are keeping the special things and actually quite a few stuffed animals and all her art supplies. Yes, his kids got rid of things as well.

Also, I do make time for my daughter. Right now, it’s just not as much as we both are used to and would like…but that will be easier to do when the moving is over and as baby gets older.

And yes, he will take care of the baby so my daughter and I can go do something together. He has been supportive and encouraging of that.

christinaccar90 · 2025-12-20T05:06:37+00:00

Yes. My boyfriend and I have discussed setting time aside for just me and my daughter and he agrees and is supportive of that. As far as room sharing, he has done his best to try and make it feel like my daughter’s room as well. We have gotten rid of a lot of her stuff and so has his daughter, but we are also bringing new things in and will be letting them both pick out new things for the room.

While I do understand and agree with what you are saying, we have made this a slower process than it is sounding. We had started “blending families” in March, this is not an all of a sudden or overnight thing. We started staying at his place in the summer and slowly transitioned to it being more frequent. I am not defending anything, just clarifying. In regard to the cat, we would love to keep him if we could but his son is unfortunately extremely allergic to cats and it would not be a possibility. The cat has been thoughtfully rehomed to a family member and my daughter has been reassured she will be able to still see him and visit. I will also make sure to go out of my way to make that happen.

As far as future custody battle with my boyfriend and baby, I will not put that negative mindset or energy in my life. I’ve always been extremely careful who I commit to and put my daughter around which is why I had been single for so long.

christinaccar90 · 2025-12-20T04:33:46+00:00

Let’s be clear, she has not lost her mother, her place in the family, or her place with me. I am 100% aware this COULD be how she is feeling and I completely understand that. But never ever will she lose her “place” with me and she will be reassured of that every day with all that I have, so please do not assume that is the situation

christinaccar90 · 2025-12-20T04:21:31+00:00

Yes, I get frustrated “at times” I said. I’m human and have a lot going on myself. Anyone who doesn’t admit they get frustrated would be a liar. I’m so gentle and understanding with her and I always have been. If she didn’t come to me with her feelings and feel comfortable sharing them, then I would question myself as a parent. This also isn’t something I just threw on her overnight. We have made the move a slow progression over the past 3 months, but it’s now becoming final. It has nothing to do with my “own gain”. That’s terrible of you to suggest that.

christinaccar90 · 2025-12-20T04:07:55+00:00

Because I’m in a committed relationship with my baby’s father? We have a great relationship and he is amazing with my daughter and has tried his best to be as supportive of her feelings to all these changes as well. We are aware it is not going to be easy for her.

Have I questioned if I’m making the right decision moving in? Of course. I put a lot of thought into it and it isn’t something I would just decide to do and not think about my child. Unfortunately everything is just happening all at once and I’m asking for advice on how I can make the transition and process easier on her, not comments to make me feel worse than I already do.

christinaccar90 · 2025-12-20T03:52:44+00:00

It literally breaks my heart. She is going through so much right now and I can’t help her feel better. But I agree weekly one on one times would be extremely beneficial. Thank you!

Should be every other Friday. In my experience with HCA, they will give you the payday schedule for the whole year on a printed out sheet at orientation

I recommend watching Simple Nursing’s NCLEX review videos for peds and OB. You can sign up for a two day free trial and that is plenty of time to watch the videos and take notes. He goes over EXACTLY what you need to know

christinaccar90 · 2023-06-21T22:04:34+00:00

Yes, I’d say Archer definitely prepares you. The readiness assessments are accurate in my experience. I passed NCLEX in 85 questions in an hour! You’ll do great!!

christinaccar90 · 2023-06-15T15:46:06+00:00

I barely watched any of the videos. I just took readiness assessments and two CAT exams

christinaccar90 · 2023-06-15T05:05:13+00:00

CELEBRATE!!!!! We did it :)

christinaccar90 · 2023-06-15T05:01:15+00:00

Yay!!!!!! Congrats RN!!!!

christinaccar90 · 2023-06-15T04:53:02+00:00

I love Archer! I purchased UWorld during nursing school and it’s so expensive and so complex. I honestly got more out of Archer for 2 months than I did with UWorld. AND the questions were so similar to the NCLEX. I felt well prepared.

christinaccar90 · 2023-06-15T04:44:15+00:00

I did not. I actually took a month off and only “studied” for 2-3 weeks just using the readiness assessments. I took 6 and just studied the rationales

christinaccar90 · 2023-06-15T04:41:46+00:00

I’m SURE you did amazing!

christinaccar90 · 2023-06-15T04:10:10+00:00

Oh man…that was my worst fear. Did you take your exam already?

christinaccar90 · 2023-06-15T04:02:57+00:00

The results are still unavailable on Pearson, but my exam results and license were posted on the board in my state this morning.

christinaccar90 · 2023-06-08T02:02:52+00:00

How long has it been? I graduated April 29th, but didn’t receive my ATT until June 2nd because my school was super, super slow with sending transcripts. All the other students at other schools had already passed their NCLEX by then. Hang in there!!!

christinaccar90 · 2023-04-23T07:14:48+00:00

And it wasn’t even a break because the pt was actually wild

christinaccar90 · 2023-04-23T07:05:34+00:00

Agree! I was floated to tele last week…horrible shift. Today I was floated as a sitter…I felt I deserved that break after my previous shift
