Hi, I am 42 years young, no kids, and...happily separated :rotfl:

Hi!
I just joined MomMD today and am excited to get to know some people on here. :wave: I am 29, RN, and just started pre-med classes. Due to my work schedule I have to take my classes independently for the first year, luckily it is stuff like Latin and Pre-Calc that can be done at home. :goodvibes:
I am excited about being pre-med finally, it has been a tough 5 years since I have been out of school with the marriages/divorces so I am glad to be doing something for myself.
It is nice to meet all of you! Look forward to getting to know people! :grouphug: Take care!

Hello, I'm 24 with no kids...but for sure we're going to have some one day.
I came here from Poland not even 3 years ago. It was supposed to be for a year, but I met Mike and...we just got married past October (+ we're having a big church weddin in Poland this coming July ). There's lots for paperwork with immigration but hopefully I'll start working at school in September as an ESL teacher + if I get accepted (hopefully) I'll start biology in the fall, too (shouldn't take me longer than 3-4 semesters to get BA - a lot of my credits will transfer). And hopefully I'll get to Medical School some time in 2006.
I'm really happy that I found this website. I started thinking that I'm crazy thinking about medschool now - you know! it's so uncommon for a women in mid twenties to change careers in Poland...

HI everyone! I'm 24, engaged, with no kids. I'm trying to figure out how feasible it is to have a child during a surgical residency, and this forum seems like a great place for info! I'm currently a 3rd year student at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Looking forward to sharing advice and ideas with you!

I'm 27, been married almost 8 years to a wonderful guy--- got my BA in French, was a programmer for 3 years, now finishing my prereqs for medical school. Loved the challenge and creativity in web programming -- but it just felt wrong. I wanted to to contribute more to the world (instead of just helping corporate America get fatter...)

No kids as of yet -- originally I was thinking of waiting until in med school or during residency--- now I am thinking I would rather have a baby BEFORE I go to medical school. I've decided that I'd like to be home for the first year (hopefully!). Then the kid will have plenty of time to hate me while I'm in school! My hubby works away a lot --so when we do have kids, I'll be a single mom most of the time (both our families are far, far away).

Nice meeting all of you

shelby2000 ... I am also that way! I want to be the cool & hip & exciting aunt!

I love kids but the work which I believe requires just about 100% of your time -- I didn't have-- barely have time for work, exercise, grocery, cooking, cleaning , husband, & dog

Difficult decision to NOT have kids -- It is so profoundly EVERYWHERE- tv, grocery stores, restaurants etc.. that you can see the families all around you and wonder... hmmm... have I made the right decision???

But after much soul searching & heartache...I believe that in the end, I have made the right decision for me. :yes:

I will really miss some of the best things about being a mother, but I guess I will also miss all the bad stuff too. :yikes:

Sethina.. wondering if there are any tshirts that say non-MomMD ???
