Doubtful

I can understand how you feel..I have a 17 month old son, I got accepted into nursing school this fall and I just started a new night shift job at the hospital. I hate to be away from him and I miss him so much when I'm working and I will miss him so much more when I start nursing school. I have to remind myself that I'm going to school to better provide for him and I want to set a great example also. I want him to be proud of mama.When things get hard I look at his photo on my phone screensaver and it makes me push even harder to succeed. When I want to throw my hands up and quit I have to remember I have a little boy depending on me. When I finally come home I make sure to spend time playing cuddling etc. Then on my days off we go to lots of places to have fun.

I completely understand how you feel. I start nursing classes in a week and I will be in class 4 days a week. I have 2 kids (4&6) Granted they aren't as young as yours but I have been home with them since they were little bitty, until 2 years ago when I started my Pre Reqs. Let me just say that these next years are going to be SOO hard for me. Yes, both of mine will be in school but with my schedule, I will be missing ALOT of their school milestones. You just have to look at it that, in the end, its what is best for everyone. Keep your head up.

Big picture, big picture, big picture. Just keep reminding yourself that. You can do it, many have before you. Power on, girl.
