Is it too risky to withdraw my approved nursing application at UTA?

I am hoping you smart and knowledgable ladies can help me with a dilemma. I am at a crossroad and do not which road to travel.

I've been accepted to start UTA's traditional program this Fall. I am considering withdrawing my application, and then reapplying to UTA and also apply to TWU's nursing program for Spring 2014 admission.

Here is my situation:

I have 3 kiddos: 1 is transferring to TSU San Marcos as a sophmore this fall, one is beginning kindergarten this fall, and the other is 3.5 yo.
To attend UTA this fall I must complete tech writing, college algebra, pharm, patho, and intro to nursing. This is a lot! (currently I'm taking 5 classes, but no science/med classes)
I am currently a 4.0 student with an 93.5% HESI score. I should keep that GPA after this semester, but possibly drop it with one B grade.
My apprehension stems from feeling like the summer courses (with kids home and out of school) will be very stressful. I've been operating under school stress for 2 years now. Is it wise to begin nursing school already partially fryed? Does this even matter?
I also love TWU's campus and UTA's campus is great, too. I'm not opposed attending either school.
If I do reapply to UTA, I would have to take pharm, patho, and intro to nursing this fall since they have to be completed before starting UTA's program (if admitted). These classes would most likely not be transferrable to TWU from what I've been told, although it is being looked into. That would be problematic if I end up attending TWU Spring 2014.

Any words of advice? I would also love to hear from those of you who have, or are attending UTA's & TWU's nursing program, and your pros/cons about the school.

Thank you all!!
