Hey ladies, anyone attending school and busy working and being a mom? I'm in my 2nd pregnancy and want to go for nursing. A portion can b done online. Moms who r doing this.. What do u recommend? What's your experience like?

That depends on what works best for you. I'm applying this December and I would start August or December of 2016 (baby would be 8 months to a year). A lot of programs have annual admission, are you able to take one that you could get into at any time of year?

Thank u Diana! Happy to hear it! Should I wait or go now?

I'm expecting #2, work full time, and am in school nearly full time going towards nursing as well. I attended an informational session last night and was told between class and clinicals, it will be up to 22 hours a week. That in addition to two kids and work is a lot, but like you said, it will be worth it. Hell for you for a while, a lifetime of greater stability for your kids.

Thanks everyone! I'm so excited to go back! Not sure if I should go while I'm preggo or wait for the baby to come first in December.

It was hard I did it while I was a single mom with my son but it was so very rewarding if u put your mind to it and it helps if u have support from your other half I'm going back to school and my husband helps alot

It's going to be hard, but it is doable if you put your mind to it.

I don't want to be over my head w a new born and a 2 Ur old and work and school

Yes I have my children's father and family. But I wonder how tough buy rewarding it'd going to be.

I'm in the same situation. I'm 5 weeks along and I have a 9 month old. I'll be starting school in August and I'm due in January. I also will be working 40 hours a week. Are you married or have a boyfriend? Family to help?

Bump.
