nursing school

Hi :) I have been on here a few times for advice on going to nursing school or early childhood education. I am in healthcare and have been working as a cna for about 10 years now...on and off..:)..I have two young kids that are not yet in school..and I want to do something that let's me make the most of my time with my family while I am in school and when I have the job. I've been paaionate for nursing for a very long time.I also LOVE children and love the idea of working with them. Anyways I plan on starting school part time this spring and I am not sure if I should go with nursing prerequisites or start my education degree??!! I'm a little nervous about nursing after reading how all these new grads are having such a hard time finding work! I am one of the few(I think..or so it seems) that actually wants to start in a ltc facility...is it easier to get a job at a place like that over a hospital?? How many of you that work as a nurse and have a family find that you have enough time with your kids?? :)

    My guess would be that it should be easier to find work in LTC and the pay is often a bit more also. The thing is that nursing school itself does not lend itself to family life, or any other type of life for that matter. Once you graduate there are flexible PRN or part-time positions that would probably suit you. Good luck with whatever you decide.
