I am a single mom to a 9 year old boy. I also have a boyfriend who lives an hour away so we have to juggle that. I suggest a planner and planning everything out. There are times my son has to wait on things for school, but there are also times I devote completely to him. We talk for at least 15 minutes every day about how his day went. I make every practice and school performance. But some days, I have to do school and he has to wait on me. With my boyfriend, my books are away by 10pm and we have date night once a week. I have the full support of both men in my life. I have one year to go so I'm almost there!!

From what I gathered at my orientation course , the students who had a spouse was very suppporitive and took care of the bills. I heard from a student who did not work but her hubby was the one who did literally manage the bills. Another student had a 7 year old and she didn't work but her hubby did. I.also met a student who was engaged but working while attending NS. I also came across a student who was president of the nursing class, works 3 jobs, she is an emt. Another student has a child and he has to do daddy care and work too. And really they say it all depends on the individual if they can handle multiple things. If you know you can't then don't work. If you have to work then do so, but you may want to cut back work hours if school performance is affected. They say it is possible to work while going to NS.
