Finishing school

I feel super nervous for some reason. I planned everything out to were I will be 7 1/2 months pregnant the end of my clinicals and 8 months pregnant the end of nursing school all together. I don't know why I am so nervous now. I thought I would be fine but am stressing now. I worked my whole pregnancy quoth my son and a laborious job. Also I've never come close to failing. Pretty much an a or B+ student. Any other moms either nurses and pregnant or students and pregnant? How did you deal with work or school?

It's easier when they are little. School got harder the older my son got. He's became more observe not and resentfull. When I first started he would just sit on my lap and listen to me read. That's good to here. Clinicals is what scares me the worse. I know I have awesome classmates that hopefully will help me if necesary. Specially with larger and more needy patients. I also got horrible pregnancy brain. Hoping to keep up with the reading and read test questions slowly! :)

I'm in my senior year of nursing as well. My baby is due December 18th. It ***** because I will have one more semester left and I'm worried but I can only PRAY I make it through. My first year was pretty hard although I managed to make A's and B's but good luck to all the mommy's and soon to be mommy's in school regardless of your major!!!!

Im almost through nursing schooll. I found out I was pregnant the beginning of finals week last May. Haha which was miserable since I was so tired I fell asleep over my text books at 9 every night....luckily I had been on top of studying because cramming wasn't an option! He was due the first week of classes this spring, so I took a full class schedule last fall and worked part time, then took the spring semester off. Clinicals during third trimester were tough, but I made it.  I found that it was so much more important to stay organized and keep.a.schedule since I just didn't have the energy I did before. I also had to remind myself that I needed to take care of myself. I'm finishing up.my last couple courses this coming school year and graduating in may.  Im worried about keeping up with classes and still having time for my son and hubby, but I know many other students who manage it.

I no I only will complete my assocoate. Have to start my bachelors shortly after. New rrquirements. Thats all online though. I just took it really slow with my son. Started the program spring 2013. I am going to try and just hope there is no complications. And my time management is going to have to be key. My son is four and is going to be started prek and my husband works 50+ hours. So getting him there and back to school and studying will be caotic.

I'm in your boat. I'm supposed to be starting school in July and would be starting my clinicals in early 2016 if I did my schooling all the way (I go to a private university) but since I'm due Jan 15th with my first kid, I'm contemplating to work instead of finish with my BSN and just get my RN on the side. It's a tough decision, but since you're so close to being done with school, I say try and finish while your babies are still young.

So you already have a 4 y/o? Well thats already a big accomplishment getting through school with him. You are so close you will be fine. Especially if you and your husband have a plan in place. Me and my bf are still working on it. But we're so close to the end

I know. I though I would be totally fine but freaking a bit. Allot is riding on my school. Been in school sense my son was 9 months now 4 and should finish in Dec. I want to stay home with my baby for 6 months. Me and my husband agreed on it. I don't want to have to jump right in the next semester if I fail because it and minimum of 4 days a week to of which are 8 hour days.
