Hello!

Hello Ladies,

My husband and I are about to start this crazy journey that you are all going through. He will be starting school at Ross University in May 2010. Our two year old son and I will not be joining him. I'm really going to need all the support and advice I can get from other wives/mothers going through this. I work full time as an engineer. My husband is currently an engineer as well. Are any of you spouses of doctors that go/went to Ross?

Welcome Lacy. I don't have any experience with Ross, but I do know that there is at least one other couple on this board who not living together while the MD is at school

Good luck to you and your family.

and nice to meet you!

Will you be living apart all four years? Is the distance a drive or a flight?

marissa nicole...it's a caribbean school

we survived ross. we had a 2 month old when we left for the island, and came home with a 1.5 year old and 6 month old. as hard as it's going to be, alone...here in the states (or canada?) it's not easy there...as a family.

encourage your SO to push all the way through. it's doable..but hard. the way ross works is, 4 months on, two weeks off. dh finished in 37 (ish) months. and pushed through without any vacations durning rotations as well. so, when residency is over (in 6 months 6 months 6 months 6 months) we got it all done in 7 years, 2 months. suck, yup. worth it...i'll let you know in 6 months.

welcome! post often. and make sure you get an internet telephone. you'll want that connection!

Welcome!

DF and I have a friend who is at Ross, I think he's in his third semester...? All I know is that he is coming back to the States for his clinicals in the late summer/early fall. The time goes so fast, it's hard to keep track! Good luck to you and your family as you start this process!
