BUT its YOUR body and YOUR decision ..28 is still fairly young, by that I mean you can go through school and aim to get pregnant in your last semester/year and come out ok.
Nursing school will always be around, you know your body better than anyone here. If you think you can handle both, then great! I for one dont have kids, I kind of want the nursing thing to get into gear first in case anything happens to me and the father we'll be ok ..Ive seen someone pregnant first semester of nursing school and give 2 weeks prior to second semester starting (talk about timing) So far so good ..but again ..its yourrrrrrrr decision.
I did come on this forum to ask for the cold hard truth about handling it with a
small child. It does sound too hard, my son is 4.5 now and working 9-3 and the
prerequisite classes are hard enough I don't think I could handle another one
with the demanding schedule and homework. I don't know if it seems fair to have a kid only to drop him/her in daycare as early as 7 for school, I mean to
plan on that. If it is was work and I had to that would be different. Thanks for
all the advice. My husband wouldn't do laundry or dishes, he doesn't give baths
or cook. So this would never fly. I can't just magicly make him change and do
all that. He does alot of babysitting now while I am in class and cooks frozen
I think that you need to do what is best for you, it is really easy to think that it is something you want when others are putting pressure on you. If you think you can and it is something you want - then do it.
I have three children ages 7, 5 and 1 and I am a first year nursing student. It is a lot of work but I would not change it for the world.
