hi all,

i’m seeking some advice about going to grad school after a large gap between my undergrad. it’s been about 3 yrs since i got my undergrad & my plan was to go to grad school right after my undergrad, but i had my first baby and my husband was applying to grad school and there was a possibility of moving out of state. I decided i wanted to stay home with my son & support my husband so I declined my offer to go to grad school in my hometown. I have continued to work as a reading interventionist at the university I got my degree from and I’ve had wonderful opportunities for growth here and have received some graduate credits with training I’ve had. I know it will be great experience to put on my resume if/when I decide to apply again.

I’ve realized, since it’s been long enough, I do not readily know material I’ve learned as well as I did three years ago. i am more worried about the audiology, anatomy/physiology, and medical related terminology/concepts. I would like to work in a hospital once I finish grad school so knowing all of that information is dire. has anyone taken a break between undergrad & grad school and how did you prepare yourself/review all the knowledge you learned in prep for grad school?

thank you!

hi all,

I’ve been apart of this group for a couple of years now and I need some insight into something. my husband has been a PA for 15+ years and our last dday was a little over a year ago. my husband had made some improvements and changes. he started his grad program in January and he really enjoys his classes and classmates. It’s an intense program so he’s at school all day, but always comes home in the evening.

To provide some backstory information, ever since we got married he was very set on setting the rule that if we message someone of the opposite gender we’d inform the other person. He ordered me to cut ties with all of my close male friends when we got married, one who was like a brother to me, and I obeyed out of respect.

all these years he has ridiculed me for messaging someone of the opposite gender— and I’ve had to be rude to these people to please him. However, surprise surprise, my husband never kept the rule. since he started school he has made two close friends that are women. he hangs out with them at school and they text often. One of them wrote a heartfelt card for him for his birthday saying since day 1 she knew they were going to be friends & listed all of these great qualities about him. I know this bc I found this card, my husband did not show or mention it to me at all. one Of the women is married, but I find it odd she makes it a point to be close with my husband.

I got so upset bc ive Been given speeches about communicating with other men but he freely makes and keeps friends with other women. i dont trust my husband, especially considering his addiction and what that makes him susceptible to.

I have no one to talk to about this so any insight is appreciated. I don’t know How to go about this.
