Hello. I'm still a nursing student, but I've noticed more activity for this type of question on this board so I'll try it here.
How realistic is it to return to school after delivery? I got pregnant (on the PATCH!!!!) in march and will deliver right about Christmas. School starts the 2nd week of January. Now, I'm a third-timer, so I know what I'm in for, but I also know how brutal nursing school is.
The only reasons I'm even considering it is 1) I've seen others in the program do it...but I believe they had family around...I don't and 2) I have worked so hard, waited so long and come so far I'm terrified of "backing off." I will only have spring '03 and fall '04 after the baby is born before I graduate. I planned on taking the summer off anyway.
Sorry it's so long, but I would love to have anyone's opinion on this.
One of my friends went all through nursing school, pregnant with a 2 year old at home. She then was interviewed for her first nursing job while in labor with her third daughter..
