I thought I had already started this discussion topic but can't seem to find it if I did - sooo, I'm just going to start it again.
Would like to hear from anyone that is a single parent that is in nursing school already or is planning on going to nursing school. 
Blessings to All

Hi, Im in Pre-Nursing and I have 4 kids and Im doing great so for but struggling with my science classes..

Hi MrsSelf

First of all - Congratulations to you!  I know it must be hard to do with 4 kids.  But strong determination and descipline will pay off in the end.

I agree with TeresahRN about the study group.  I am sure you are not the only one that is struggling.  Check with others in your class and if there is no study group already - organize one. 

Best of luck to you!  Keep us posted!

Oh - are you working while going to school?

Taking my ACT this weekend!!  Something I wish I had done while I was in high school - the Math is what I am worried about the most.  I am keeping a positive attitude about it though.  Ready to start back to college so I can finish my pre-requisites and apply to Nursing school.

Thanks TeresahRN - I am so excited about starting my journey to get into Nursing School!!!  I wish August were already here so I can finish up my pre-reqs and be in nursing school already.  I get more and more excited each day and really feel this is the path that I am meant to take.  Applying to both the LPN program and the ADN program - and praying that I get accepted into one of them.  If I get into the LPN program I will work on bridging over to RN as soon as I can - and will gradually work on my BSN.  For once in my life - I really feel good about this and not doubting if I can do it. 

I appreciate all your support and advise. 

Well, I went and took the ACT Saturday.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  I feel that I did really good - just have to wait now on my scores.  Praying that I made the score I need in order to get into Nursing School.  SO EXCITED!! 

I am sooooo ready for August to get here so I can start back to college - finish up my last few pre-reqs and apply to Nursing school!!!

I DID IT!!  I scored a 19 on my ACT and had the subscore I needed in Reading that is required for one of the nursing programs I am checking into.  I am going to retake it in June to see if I can score higher but I am sooo proud of what I got.  Not bad for someone that has been out of school 25 years.

Awaiting response back from the local community college to see if I can register there for fall semester to finish my non-nursing and pre-reqs so I can apply to nursing school.  This is the CC that I have been having issues with.  Praying and keeping my fingers crossed that they will accept my appeal letter and allow me the chance to come back.  If they don't - Plan B.

Hi there Sandra, Congrats on the ACT!  I saw your post and wanted to reply. I’m a single mom of 4, work as an RN and taking my BSN online.  I should be done in 3 months then I plan to get my MSN. 

Daffney.. Congratulations on your accomplisments. I can tell you from expierence, you will never be sorry for all of your effort..Please keep us posted...Teresa   

I remember Teresah!  I am so ready to have those credentials next to my name.  I am going to hold you to your word that you are going to come to my graduation to. 

It's so amazing to see your journey to nursing in this post Soswalt...very inspiring! Meet you in the ladder of success!

AWWWW! Ya'll don't make me cry.  I don't know how I missed your posts but I am just now seeing them.  I tell you - this has been a hard journey but I know I can do it.  There are still days that I want to throw my hands up in the air and say just forget it.  I know it will get harder before it gets better.  I haven't even gotten into nursing school yet and can only imagine what it will be like when I do.  But having such great friends on NL that keep me motivated and inspired helps so much.  Thank Ya'll!
