Where are my student moms at?

JinglesChic · January 2013

Classes started for me yesterday again. I took a half a semester off last semester because work, school, parenting, and first tri exhaustion was too much. This time time I'm taking less (3-4 credits each 8 weeks), but can still use some support from other PG ladies.

What are you working toward?

What classes are you taking?

How much time do you have left in your college sentence?

I'm working toward a bachelors in nursing, already have an associates in nursing and a bachelors in education. I'm taking an advanced assessment course and a "nursing concepts" course (almost an intro to nursing theory). At this rate that I'm going, I have about 18 months left, but may speed it up once I become a SAHM again.

I'm in school. however I am taking my sweet time. 1 - 2 classes a semester. This semester I only enrolled in 1 class because I was worried I might overload myself.

I am working towards my A.S in Business with a focus in Management.

Probably another 2 years since I am going at my super slow pace. >.<

I'm working toward a dual bachelor's in history and geography. I have 3 more semesters but only 12 more hours for my majors, woo! This semester will consist of English 204, GIS, regional studies of North Africa and the Middle East, history capstone, history of the contemporary world, and research. Wish me luck, and best of luck to you.

BTW: I seem to be lucky. School starts back for me next Wednesday.

And I'm figuring, stock up on classes now. It will be easier while my baby is contained.

I will tell you from experience, it's better to take it slow that to overload yourself. I earned my two degrees at the same time while SAH with my son toward the end. It took my 9 years to finish them both (in the same semester). I thought I was so done with school for a looong time, but found out it's better to get it over with now.

I am finishing up my last semester of law school. We had been planning to start ttc after we got married (8/12). So I took two summer courses last summer, so that I could have "lighter" loads fall and now spring. I am taking three courses this semester and then done! But I am talking to my professors about my pregnancy, so that they are "in the know" if the little one somehow came early... which fingers crossed, the little one will not come early. I have spent three years of my life for this degree.. I would really like to walk on May 19th. It is not a must, but definitely a want.

I decided to miss this semester because I had several work trips that would cause me to miss class. My boss has taken me off those so I can stay home more while pregnant. : I'm working on a BS in Cyber Security. If I take full loads I can be done in two years. But that won't happen while I work FT.

Class starts for me tomorrow. I am dreading the entire idea- mostly because I go to class after a full day of work and class goes until 9:30PM! Most nights I am asleep on the couch by that time!

Anywho, I am working towards my Masters in Educational Technology. I already have a bachelors in English Lit and one in Education- so it was a long road of schooling behind me and I am looking forward to the end. I am taking my final class this semester, so as least I only have the one to worry about. Then I will graduate in the beginning of May- when I will be a lovely 8 months pregnant!

Good luck to you other students!

I also decided (wisely) to take 1st tri off from taking any classes. There is no way I would have made it--I was EXHAUSTED and worthless this time around.

I am working on my MBA, online. My company pays for it (but there is a limit/per year) so I only take 3 classes a year. The classes are 6 weeks long and 3 credit hours each.

I'm trying to decide whether to take Business Law or Quantitative Reasoning next. I am excited for neither of them. I am about a quarter of the way done, I should be able to graduate at the end of 2014 or beginning of 2015 at the rate I'm going.

GL to you!

Starting classes for my masters in education this semester previously have a BS in Business Administration and MBA in Finance kids have inspired a career change! Good luck everyone!

Sammypride90 · January 2013

I'm working towards my BBA in Operations Management. I was going to take this semster off but I figure it would be harder to take classes after baby so I'm taking 4 management courses.

After baby, god willing, I'll only need 2 more semesters Smile

Right Here!

Working towards BA-Elementary Edu

Not registered at the moment, took time off to focus on my pg as well as starting a new job.

2.5 years tops left

You're not alone! It can be tricky... I'm a little worried about how it will go after the baby comes.

I'm working towards my Masters in Education, and I'm doing it course-by-course, like you. I'm also working part-time. I have one course a semester, but I'm supposed to do two this summer, and I've already had to change that.

I'll be done in the spring of 2015.

Hope you're enjoying your program! My mom and SIL are nurses, and I've heard it can be a very rewarding job. Also, it seems they always need nurses! Good pick!

Hi, I am also working on my bachelors in nursing. I have a bachelors in biology, but I decided to switch to nursing. I have three semesters of my nursing program left. I was supposed to finish this December, but I am thinking about taking the summer off to spend time with the new one. This semester I am taking a legal course, Maternal/OB/Newborn, and Pediatrics. Three courses for a total of 15 units. It will be alot of work, but I have to push through. What program are you in, it must be hard to complete so much work in 8 weeks?

birdsrock · January 2013

Im working on an as in nursing...I've done all my prerecs for the program and as soon as the semester starts in February I will be applying to 3 programs at 3 different schools ans hope I get into one of them.

In the mean time, this semester I am taking the last of my general ed classes needed to graduate. One of the classes I'm taking is womens health which should be interesting while pregnant lol. The other class is a computer competency class which should be fairly easy. My biggest issue with school this semester is thatfinals end June 6th and im due the 13th. My ob said we will schedule my csection for that following Monday, so im hoping this little girl stays put until then.

Oooh do business law! I'll geek out with you on it! I love law classes and seriously considered law school.

ariaforte8 · January 2013

I'm working toward my BA in Psychology. I have one semester left. I might need to take on 4 classes this semester, but I really just want to get it over with. I'm super nervous about it, though. I took the last couple of semesters of to deal with my mental illness that was causing me to be unsuccessful in school. My T thinks I'm ready to go back, but I'm still nervous about it all, especially with the baby on the way. I just want to get it done, so in June I can focus on raising my son.

For my bachelors in education and BSN, I did/doing it through an online college with a brick and mortar campus (that I only saw once, my graduation day last May). Education, no offense to anyone, was a piece of cake. I had a 4.0, and didn't find it difficult. The nursing classes are a lot harder though. Lots more group work, presentations, and reading. I had to drop my classes during the last 8 weeks because it was too much to handle (I was also taking 6 classes). I'm hoping that since I'm per diem now (so make my own schedule for the most part) and we technicality don't rely on my income, that I can finish. I also am taking less, but still haven't found my student groove since graduating.

I love peds/maternity. Wasn't the class I did the best in, and wasn't fond of the teacher, but I want to be a school nurse. I love kids.

GL to the others, especially the other nursing student!
