Being a mom in school

Published

Honestly, how hard is it to be a nursing student and a single mom? When I enter the ASN program, my kids will 4 and 6yrs old. What can I expect? And how are you handling it all? I am scared to death.

I will be working part time as a CNA as well. whew.

snip, your son will do great in school :) i remember crying the first day i had to leave my daughter at school, too, but she LOVED IT. she has wonderful social skills and has had SO much fun playing and learning. she started kindergarten on thursday and i think her years at daycare have made a huge difference; she was SO ready and attentive! your son will be the same way! :)

How am I handeling it? I am not even a single mom but I have three kids.

I cry, cry some more, cry a lot more and then turn another page, cry, turn a page, cry some more... turn another page. Gotta get this reading done!

I am tired, exhausted, overwhelmed and scared but I AM DOING IT and you can to. Get your head in the game, find a great support system and jump in.

Best wishes!

I think being a parent, especially a single parent lends itself in extraordinary ways to motivation and determination. Think of people in your life that you can ask for help. And ask for it. God go with you!

Wantobeamidwife,

Sorry to freak you out, you'll survive! :) You can do it! By the way, I had midwives for my deliveries and they are incredible people. Way to go!

Thanks Hopeful! It's a looong road, but one day I will be a CNM! I had a midwife deliver all 5 of my babies in a hospital,a n had great experiences! In fact, if it weren't for my AMAZING midwife, my 5th baby might not be here. He flat lined during birth and she managed to get him off my cord and back to us. She was so skilled and trained, I wanna be like her when I grow up! :-)
