Give me your advice, please.

Okay, so I am currently on the waiting list for my school and it is a 2 year wait. I have been looking into going to another school instead, but they require more classes. I'm fine with taking the classes. I am 22 weeks pregnant and I'm due early September. Classes start in August. I'm not quite sure what to do.

Do I enroll in Fall classes or do I need to wait until Spring semester? I really want to get these classes out of the way so I can do this other program...I'm lost!

What kind of classes are you talking about? Are they pre-nursing? How many hours of classes will that give you? Do you have dependable child care lined up?

It's difficult to know what advice to give with such limited information.

Can you take online classes?

I would need:

  • Anatomy and Physiology II with lab* †
  • Microbiology with lab* †
  • Nutrition †
  • Statistics †
  • Ethics
  • College Algebra

I would also need like 2 electives....maybe.

Yes, I have child care lined up, but with being due early September, I'm not sure how professors would be.

I really do not care for online classes. I have taken 2 in the past and didn't like the teaching style.

It is unfortunate that you do not like online classes because you could knock a couple of the electives out at home while pregnant. I took online classes through my pregnancy and then after until my baby could go to daycare.

For me, it would depend on whether waiting makes a difference in whether I make the application deadline or not. Map out your schedule in both scenarios. Will waiting cause you to wait a year before you can apply? While newborns are a lot of work, they mostly sleep, eat, and poop. I think enrolling part time would be completely doable. And it might give you a little break from mommy hood.

I would wait for Spring. Having to take leave from classes to care for a new baby is going to be rough enough without having pre-nursing classes thrown into the mix. It's all up to you and what you think you can handle. It seems like a lot, especially for classes that aren't online.
