Today, after my son graduated from nursing school which I, as a single parent, paid for with blood, sweat, and tears, during his grad party he was asked what his next step was. His response was, "Eh, I kinda realized I hate nursing." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my fiance lost his shit when I told him that I’ve decided to go to nursing school. He claims that all nurses are cheating whores and that if I become one we’re through. His source? The troglodytes that thrive in the bowels of the internet. All because one guy got his heart broken by a nurse. FML
Today, my son's teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He put down "unemployed". FML
Today, I realized that even though I was an honor student throughout school, and considered the golden child who was going to go far in life, all I've accomplished a year after graduation is becoming an unemployed single mother still living with my parents. FML
Today, after switching careers to nursing, I got feedback for my first assessment. It indirectly implied, "Don't think like a doctor when you're studying nursing, don't diagnose patients." I barely passed and I'm only now realizing why my family was pushing me to go to med school. They know me better than myself. FML
Today, I had no choice but to bring my son to work as a med school professor. I sat him in a chair in a corner while I gave a lecture. To my surprise, he added another word to his limited vocabulary, and screamed it out loud with an ecstatic expression on his face. The word is "cancer". FML
Today, I was sent to an elementary school for safety day. One of the dads was asking about my job, when I told him about the long hours and high stress involved. He turned to his son and said, "Now see why you stay in school?" I'm a paramedic. With a bachelor's degree. FML
Today, I realized I freaking hate my career. I've only got through a semester, but I feel like I can't end the four years it takes. FML
Today, I realized my marriage is over. I was in labor with our first child and my husband acted like being there with me in the hospital was a chore. However, he saw a young nurse and his mood did a 180. He left soon before I gave birth because he “got hungry.” All of this and he STILL has no clue why I’m upset with him. FML
Today, my husband declined a $100k/year job due to him thinking that a full-time job at one work place would be too "depressing." I'm a nurse and have to wipe other people's arses for a living, then come home to this lazy dick. FML
Today, I've hated being a parent ever since I was baby-trapped at 17, but I stuck through it and never let my son suspect how I really felt, and we have a great relationship now he’s an adult. Well he just moved out yesterday, and today my wife told me she’s pregnant. Here we fucking go again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least he finished. I'm a nurse and knew a few who quit half way through. He's always got it if he changed his mind later.

He should have known at least half way through is courses that he didn't want to be a nurse.

#80 Your a dumb ass and a jerk because you think the a nurse HAS to be a woman, I bet you make your mom make you breakfast, lunch, and dinner because you don't want to get off your lazy ass and you think she should do the cooking and the cleaning because she's a woman. Go F**k yourself.

Just remind him if he works contract work it can pay over $50 an hour...

My friend did that. Went to a $40k/year school, her parents drained their retirement fund to pay for it, then she decides she's burned out on it. I can't even imagine-- when my major wasn't doing it for me, I immediately switched majors and now I'm so excited to graduate. Nursing school takes years, you'd think you'd figure out pretty early that it wasn't working out.

That sucks but honestly it wasn't your responsibility to pay for it. He should have worked for it himself or gotten loans. The hardship of being a single parent and paying for everything yourself should be over once he graduated high school... Regardless, he is so ungrateful and could at least keep his bad attitude to himself

If he's qualified as a RN it'll be incredibly easy for him to get a different job in healthcare with little to no training

I can't believe I'm speaking out in favour of student loans... :S but at least you pay for your own education that way instead of wasting other people's money...
