I'm a nursing instructor so I have a different outlook. Yes, you will need a support system, family, etc....Are you going to an ADN or BSN program? Our program is an ADN and very intense. We have an absentee policy so our students have to attend. In fact, if they didn't I'm not sure how they would make it. You need to set aside time to read and do homework assignments. I used to put my 1 yr old daughter in my lap and read my book aloud to her like it was one of her books.

You may want to talk to your nursing instructors and see what answers they give you. Anyway, I hope all goes well and look forward to having another nurse....
