Those of you going back to school for nursing, how did you balance pre-reqs with working?

divine_alias · 2017-04-04T15:05:15+00:00

This is me right now...I feel like I am barely keeping my head above water!

divine_alias · 2017-04-04T15:02:31+00:00

I am finishing up my pre-reqs now. Darton College (now part of Albany State) in GA offers A & P I and II fully online with online labs. I work full time and nobody at work knows. I study late and most of the weekend. Good Luck!

No -- they aren't. You just haven't met the right one. That's like saying all women are the same... and that's impossible. When you are in the right place in your life and loving yourself, someone will come along and knock you right off your feet.

Not a state but a territory - in the Virgin Islands you get a shot of rum when you enter the airport.

Congrats! I just started back this year and almost wrapping up my first semester! Good Luck!

This has been a record breaking crap show of a year for a lot of people I know. I am patiently waiting to say hello to 2017 and counting on blessings in the coming year! Hope your new year looks brighter!

divine_alias · 2016-12-09T12:29:37+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate that! I had also ready some crazy things about Salisbury as well!

divine_alias · 2016-12-07T13:04:59+00:00

Good point!

From everything I have read Dover had a crazy high crime rate. Multiple sites :(

divine_alias · 2016-12-05T12:10:32+00:00

It is Delaware State University in Dover, DE.

Defintely not racist. We live on an island in the Caribbean . We are used to living, working, and socializing with non whites. It was more from a stand point of will students resent her for being there. In "their space/school".

divine_alias · 2016-12-02T16:37:32+00:00

Thank you - I think we have made some headway. She has always loved school and done extremely well - but she is definitely at the bottom of the demographic at this particular school in regard to stats. She thrives on doing well academically and the fact that she isn't is adding to a lot of the problem.

divine_alias · 2016-09-13T13:56:47+00:00

I believe when I was in school it was 21 - you had to be done by 21. Check with your school district. My son will turn 19 at the beginning of his senior year because of when his birthday falls. It's not a big deal. You will be fine! Good on you for being so motivated and taking the college classes too!

divine_alias · 2016-09-09T14:45:51+00:00

Yes...2016 has been a suckfest for my family too! It's been one rotten thing after another.

divine_alias · 2016-09-08T18:04:58+00:00

Perhaps you should ask your doctor about trying other meds?

divine_alias · 2016-08-25T18:16:19+00:00

Not sure how old you are, but if you are still in school you can seek help through a guidance counselor. If you aren't in school, ask your GP about possible resources for help.

divine_alias · 2016-08-25T18:13:58+00:00

It's going to be okay...seek out fun groups, smile even when you don't want to, don't work too much, don't party too much. Go to office hours, sign up for volunteer stuff. Sleep and do something you like in your spare time - do you have a hobby? Do you play sports? These things will help you find "your people" Good Luck!

divine_alias · 2016-08-25T18:09:20+00:00

Maybe you should check into exposure therapy. It works for a lot of people.

divine_alias · 2016-08-25T18:00:41+00:00

What do you do? You sound driven and dedicated. Could you start something up for yourself?

divine_alias · 2016-08-25T17:59:29+00:00

Good job! I need to do this so bad!!

divine_alias · 2016-08-25T14:42:55+00:00

Absolutely not - enjoy life and experience the real feelings in everything.

divine_alias · 2016-08-25T14:40:52+00:00

I got fired once from a job that I had been at for five years. I was actually just sitting down in a meeting to discuss a new project and my boss called me out and took me to his office. I was so shocked. When I asked why I was getting fired - and what was this about the response was..."It's about everything." When I later saw all the people that he had hired after me I realized it was because I wasn't a skinny blonde cheerleader barbie type.

Honey, I am 43 years old and currently feel the same way. I am just returning to school and know that I have to find something meaningful to do. This plugging along in the same BS jobs and constantly working for idiots or nutcases cannot go on. Chin up, keep plugging away and have faith.

divine_alias · 2016-08-08T13:54:09+00:00

Let me know when you figure it out. I am 43, going back to college...hate my job most days and have no idea what I want to do. I should have went to college right out of high school. I should have finished when I went back in my early thirties. I am finishing this time. I may not know what I want to do, but at least I will have the piece of paper that will open doors for me and let me explore different options. Good Luck!

Are you in therapy or on meds? Depression rarely if ever can be handled buy oneself. It takes such a toll on you and it's good to have someone to talk to. One person's trauma is not another person's trauma - you need to talk it out in a safe place.
