Going back to school!
I submitted my application at my local tech school today to get my ADN! The only pre reqs I have left are A&P 1 and 2, Microbiology, and Algebra. My school doesn’t require you to complete microbiology to get into the program, but you have to have it done before cohorts start. There is only one admissions cycle per year, at the end of spring semester and cohorts begin in fall. So my plan is A&P 1 + Algebra in the fall, then A&P 2 in spring, apply to the program and hopefully get in, then Micro in the summer before cohorts ! I feel like this is the easiest way to not overload myself because I do work and have an almost 2 year old.
I’m really determined to lock in this year, I struggled terribly mentally before I had my son and I took a break from school for the last two years. I finally feel ready to go back and sure of what I want to do. I know I didn’t live up to my potential so I want to be as prepared as possible this semester. Anyone who is currently taking or has taken A&P, what would you recommend to do before the start of classes in order to give yourself an advantage once it starts ?
Also, anyone else that has kids and is going into nursing, give me your best tips and advice ! I think the hardest part of this for me will be seeing my baby less. It makes me feel terrible. But I also want him to have a secure and stable childhood and to never feel like he limited me.
