Just Got a Phone Call

aww, that was nice of your friend. i think you should just go check it out, maybe when you have a tour of it you'll get excited!

what are you thinking about going for?

listen, you'll do fine! i have faith in you, i think you can totally do it!

the money situation will probably be stressful but i think everything works out in the end, and when you're done i think you'll definitely be proud of yourself for going ahead and doing it!

here to be an rn it's 250 dollars a class, and i think it's for 2 years? but once you're done with it, they get paid good and then you can pay off your loans! and it's not like real school... it's like monday 8am to 1pm and wednesday 8 am to 1pm. every school is probably different, and it depends on how many classes you take at one time i guess.


i think you can make it work!

I have a close friend who was an xray tech and just graduated as an mri tech a couple of days ago. she graduated with honours. from what I know of her school days, there was a lot of physics and anatomy involved. she is a really disciplined person so she did well. i guess that's what it mostly boils down to, your aptitude for what you are studying and your level of discipline and determination. I personally absolutely love going to school and i hope everything works out for you if or when you decide to go!

thanks kaerbear.ick,I never thought about the whole anatomy thing and I suuuuuucked at physics in highschool.Don't know if it's caue I didn't care and was just tring to pass the class or if I really didn't knwo the stuff.now I really am scared We'll see what career types they have and go from there I guess.I just need a little back up from my girls is all!

.mel you are a smart young woman! I think college would be great for you. I know people can go to college at any age, but as long as they are willing to work with you now, why not go for it? That way once you graduate you can have a career instead of a job, and have a better income than both your current jobs combined! (as if I know how much you make, but it sounds good, right? )

melly, you'll do fine!!!!! I know you will!

Listen if i can go back to school in the fall with a full time job and 7-10 hours overtime a week and a baby you can do it too.

I wish you all the best!!!!

Hi Mel, Here is your some incentive.....I was 32 years old raising a child of 6 by myself. Gosh it had been forever 1975 since I'd been in school, yet here I was signd up for Research Lab Technology....I was the oldest one in my class. Microbiology and Chemistry sucked in high school, but some how I aced these classes and made president list the entire 17 months! I also held down a job and raised a daughter alone! I know you can do this.......... I have all hte faith in you in hte world. Your an excellent Mom in great health and oyu are young..do this and get it over with and have a secure future for youself and family on down the road. I am very proud of you!

I had some of the same concerns before I started school too. I just registered for my classes and I will finally be going back to school after about 3 and 1/2 years in July. I was so worried about money and work and everything else. I only have one job, but I am "on call" so I dont have a steady income. I was able to get financial aid for a loan, but I still have to pay that back as well. I was so scared I wouldnt have enough time, or that I would be overworking myself. But now I am glad that I am fianly doing it, I'm excited. It also ended up just working out great with timing. They ended up lowering the tuition for the program I wanted to do(how rare is that) usually it goes up even higher. I am confident that if you choose to go back, things will come together for you I am all for going back to school and doing what you want to do. The medical field is a good field to work in as well... I will be a massage therapist when I am done with school. I hope you decide to go check it out and I hope that things work out for you. You will do fine, I too was not good at that physics and such in highschool, but I will be taking anotomy and physiology and other things(physics os more math related science) too. You'll do great and you have my support...I'll be there too, lol. Keep us updated.

melly, i think you'll do great! at least try it out and see if you can manage your time and do everything. you sound excited so i definitely say go for it!

mel u gotta think even if it is kinda expensive for a little while after your done youll only need to work one job. + you said its only one year so thats not bad 1 year to be in a better finacial situation for the next like 30-40 yrs sound like a sweet deal

thank you guys so much.this is why I love you! thank you all for your kind words and for believing in me.You don't know how much it means to me. I'm going to the interview on monday and I will tell everyone how it goes!! thanks!!

That's good to hear, .mel! I'm so proud of you. And I see you're selling yourself for internet use again

Woo! Glad to know we're worth something to ya!

Yay! thats great news Good luck on your interview You seem excited, just like I was, the interview was just the beginning for me and I just kept getting more excited about it after that.
