Navigating Nursing School as a Pregnant and Single Student

[Loren01]

I am a female nursing student who is currently struggling in my studies while also being pregnant and single. It has been a challenging and overwhelming experience trying to balance the demands of school with the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy, as well as managing all of the responsibilities that come with being a single parent.

I often find myself feeling stressed and overwhelmed, and I'm not sure how to manage my time effectively or seek the support I need to succeed in my program. I am worried about how I will be able to complete my clinical rotations and graduate on time while also caring for my newborn, and I'm not sure how to navigate these challenges as a single parent.

I am also concerned about the impact that my pregnancy and upcoming parenthood will have on my career prospects after graduation. I want to be a successful nurse, but I'm not sure how to achieve my goals while also facing these additional challenges.

I am looking for advice and guidance on how to effectively manage my time and responsibilities, as well as strategies for seeking support and overcoming the challenges I am facing as a pregnant and single nursing student. Any thoughts or suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.
