Any other students who are mothers?

I'm a nursing-school-hopeful. Already finished my two-year degree, and I'm working on nursing pre-reqs right now. If all goes as planned, I will start nursing school Fall 2014 (though because I still have some pre-reqs I would be ok with starting Spring 2015).

My biggest concern and challenge while in school is that I'm also a mother! It is no small task, for sure. I also work in a clinic part-time - so balancing all these roles it so hard. I couldn't do it without the help of my husband.

It'd be nice to build a nice support system of other moms in school.

I'm a mother of 6 children ages, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, and 17. I'm trying to get through prerequisites right now. It's very hard work but it will all be worth it in the end. :)

I'm a mom with 3 kids. 16, 3 1/2 and an 1 year old. I'm finished with my pre reqs, just waiting for open enrollment in two weeks to apply to the fall 2014 semester :) I'm so excited and scared all at the same time. I will be leaving my full time job to pursue my nursing career.

I have 3 kids ages 3, 4, and 9 and started prerequisites this year. Since I am taking one at a time it will take a couple of years to finish but once done I will apply to a ABSN program. If accepted I will quit my full time job. I study at night usually after I come home or on weekends and after the kids are fed, bathed, and off to bed. Its not easy esp. with working but its doable right now. I'm sure NS would be much harder though
