mom of 3 starting mid-quarter Feb.

[2bnurseTV]

I am married with 3 kids, 7,6 and 20 months. I do not work and will be starting with no prev. credits in Feb. I want to go full time after the mid-quarter(you can only take two classes then) but I am worried that it will be overwhelming. I have this vision of going to school and spending hours every day studying and still having everything else to do. Is it realistic to think I can do it all? How much studying should I expect for the pre-req classes if I am a quick learner. I never studied for anything in high school and breezed my way thru. Is this doable with little kids?

I'm finishing up my pre-reqs. Only taking 10 hrs of credit. I have a 3 and 1 yr. old. Scheduling child care is probaly the toughest problem about going back to school. My husband works nights and watches the kids when I have morning classes and my mom who works full time also takes tues and thurs off so she can watch them while I have evening classes on those days. Like you, we can not afford daycare even though I continue to work on the weekends while my husband has off to watch the kids. After this experience I truly know how much my family loves and supports me, and how much they are willing to sacrifice so I can reach my goals. The whole process has been humbling and rewarding.
