I am still in the process of finishing my Bachelor's degree. I decided well into it that I wanted to do nursing so for the next year I'll just be doing a&p, microbiology, chem, etc to finish up my credits for my bachelors. After that I'd like to get into an accelerated program.. I was looking at a few schools like Pace University, NYU, CUNY Lehman, CUNY Hunter, Concordia... all of these programs are 12-15 months.
But... I'm the mother of two toddlers.. My husband has a demanding job so I already do not get a lot of time to study and do school work. How difficult is nursing school for mothers of young children? Should I just enroll in a regular nursing program which takes two years plus the next semester or so completing prerequisites, or should I take the plunge and try an accelerated program?
I have always done very well in school but I get stressed out very easily.. and all this is just even more stressful! Mommies who went through nursing school please share your experience!
