School & Kids

[toy85]

Hi all, I'm new to this site. I've been reading for a few days now and fell in love so I decided to join.

I'm currently at GCC taking pre-reqs aiming for ASU. I have quite a few to go. I know I need to keep my gpa up but it's so hard being that I have 3 kids and I'm a stay at home mom & student.

My question is, What are your opinions on going to school while taking care of a family? It's tough at times but I know it can be done. Any of you did it and if so how was it for you? Were you able to maintain good grades? Any advice would help. :)

My kids & my fiance' are my motivation but I guess I just want to hear anyone else's experience that could give me some encouragement. I just need to hear some success stories from other moms I guess.

Thanks! :)

I really liked MH. I took her class for AP 2, however she does teach both, and i would recommend taking both with her. I had ES for AP 1. He was a little more difficult but a good instructor nonetheless.

Toy85 - I have been working on my prereqs and schooling for my career change with family at 50.

online classes are great for some, but sometimes you need a break to get the hell out of the house. Not always easy, but you have to make it clear with the family that this is what you want to do and you are going to do.

There is sacrifice, but if you want to be a NURSE, there is sacrifice, and the family might not like it, but they may. Just be honest with yourself first and what you want and desire and your family will love you and respect you.

Hang in there and plug away. It is a JOURNEY. But it is the one that will change you forever.
