Im working parttime in a hospital now and is just waiting for my RN exam.
The thing is, i met a guy who is now my boyfriend for almost a year. i love him so much and he loves me too. we have plans for our future and even planned of moving in together next year. I cant really tell my mom about our plans cos she expects a lot from me. :( she has her own plans for me like me buying a car, a house and she wants to live with me also and wants me to help her with expenses. i have a stepdad but he has problems and needs to go back to his country and stay there for 1-5 years. now im confused coz i tried talking bout what i want to my mom like maybe moving out soon. she felt so disappointed and said i can move out now and she will just take care of herself and she can handle living in the street if my stepdad will also go leave. im so sad. am i going to be selfish if i’ll move out and be independent without a mom who always tell me what i should do with my life? if i’ll move out, i will still wana help my mom with stuff like paying for her car or maybe some bills but for now, im not sure if i can do that every month especially that im still starting on making a life of my own and i also have to help my grandparents. idk. (my mom has work btw but her salary wont be enough to pay bills and their house if my stepdad will have to leave). im scared to make a wrong decision. scared to lose my boyfriend over this. scared to make my mom sad coz of me. :( help
(my plans before this problem came were : if i have a good paying job i will help my grandparents first by sending them money every month coz my mom sends them money now. then im still gonna help my mom sometimes and will then take care of her when she is already old..dont want to put her in nursing home, i wanna take care of her at that time)

As a result, I contracted genital warts. I had them treated at Planned Parenthood and they disfigured my labia. I am going to have corrective surgery to fix it. It costs $5000 but I will be doing a payment plan through “Care Credit.”
There is one “RN” or woman that says she is an RN on answers that is so callous and cruel. She asked me “Which is worse: having had genital warts or a deformed labia” Why do people want to “rub it in”. Some people even say I am making it up. Do they know how many billions of questions I asked about my sexual assault? Obviously, I am deeply depressed to be asking all these questions. It really happened and I hate how the nurses at Planned Parenthood implied that I was lying.
I feel so depressed. How do I get better? Are their good peopel out there that want to see me better?
I HATE MY DISGUSTING VAGINA!!! I am scarred to have surgery though…Will it be safe? I am so nervourse. Please help me.

As a nurse, drawing someones blood and dealing with body fluids, I didn’t know that I do now have the right to know if someone has a contageous disease.

hospital, wearing a oxygen mask
over his mouth and nose. A young, student nurse appears to give him a
partial sponge bath. “Nurse”, he mumbles, from behind the mask.
“Are my
testicles black?”Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, “I don’t know,
Sir. I’m only here to wash your upper body and feet.”He struggles to ask
again, “Nurse, please check. Are my testicles black?”Concerned that
he
may elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worry about his
testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back thecovers. She
raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles in the
other. Then, she takes a close look and says, There’s nothing wrong with
them, Sir!”The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very
slowly,” Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but, listen very, very
closely……A r e – m y – t e s t – r e s u l t s – b a c k?

Since Im out of state total cost woul be around 40k per year if i went to University of Pittsburgh but because of my high GPA and test scores (3.8,2150 SAT) i’ve received scholarships that take care of virtually all tuition ,i’d just have to pay about $10,500 per year in loans for room,board,and books. So should I go to the University and get my BSN or should i just go straight for the RN at the community college, which would be absolutely free in fact i’d get money back every semester, work for about a year and then go and get my bsn. In either case i plan on getting a masters later in Nursing,business, or education, and more than likely my PhD
