What Should I Do?
 
Hello:),
I have a question. Question: I am 27 years old and I am married with one child. I am currently going to school at a community college for my ADN (Associates, Nursing) and when I finish that I want to go to a 4 year university and get my BSN. I now have two years left to get the ADN as I am taking my last 3 prereqs before clinicals. My college hours will transfer to the 4 yr. university. I have been to college (4year) before for a little when I was 17-20 years old, I was in a car accident and had to quit for a while... but while I was there I was exposed to the greek life and did research on everything and pretty much had my mind made up. I want to do things in my community and be more involved especially since I have an autistic child and I want to give knowledge about that and other things.... But things happened in my life that changed my goals and I am now trying to acheive my dream of becoming a nurse and going greek while in undergrade when I go the 4 year university and I guess what I want to know is, Is this possible for me to do? Will I be able to do this while maintaining school/work, husband, and child? What do you think it would be like? What should I do or how should I go about fulfilling this acheivement?

Thanks,

I don't think anyone call you what is possible for you. You have to layout your priorities and act accordingly. :)

Ditto.
Like any endeavor, you have to determine if you have the time to dedicate to it.

I know people who have done it, but it depends. If you have a family, job, and school to consider, why wouldn't you want to wait and pursue membership in a Graduate chapter? I wish you all the best in your pursuits, whatever course you decide to take!

I see you are a new poster. When a question is asked in a forum created for feedback related to a specific organization, that generally means the poster is looking for feedback from a MEMBER of said organization. If you are not a MEMBER of said organization, its best to refrain from responding. And chiming in without additional information, when you are out of your lane, is looked at as being far more extra than necessary.

You can do community service on your own or with your church.

Becoming an non-traditional undergraduate member with a husband, child and in nursing school may not be the best course of action.

JMHO.

My sands had a husband, a child, had two majors and maintained a 3.3 GPA when we were on line. Anything is possible if you want it to happen. You have to have some community service hours completed before you join an organization anyway. You can volunteer through a local church or do some things at your school. Just DON'T QUIT!

I have a 2 yr old, a full time job and I maintain a 3.7 gpa. It takes excellent time management skills but...If you want it....go for it:)
