I'm a pre-nursing student in my last semester at the local community college. I'm engaged and have a 1 year old. I plan on attending nursing school next fall at the University of Florida as a transfer student. My problem is my parents. They don't want me moving 3 hours away with my daughter without them there. FYI- I don't live with them now or have any financial support from them, my fiancée takes care of us and I'm currently a full time student. Another problem is the admissions at uf, they don't let you know if you're accepted into the con until June and if I want to go to school up there I'd have to be pretty sure I know what I'm doing since I have to move in April when my lease is up. My back up plan is to go to Santa fe in Gainesville if I'm not accepted into uf, if I had to go that route but I'd prefer to get the bsn. My parents dont want me "taking" their only child and grandchild away but I feel like I've made enough sacrifices as a parent that I want to go to my dream school for my dream job.
What do you guys think?
I am I being egotistical? Selfish? Are my parents right? Or should i follow my heart and grow more wings to show them i can do it?
Any advice or comments would be appreciated. I'm starting to regret this choice and would like more viewpoints. Btw my fiancée is supportive of me and he would like to move since both of us have lived in the same city our whole lives. And also I'm a decent student (3.87 gpa) if that helps.
