Part time vs full time practical nursing school (with young children)

Would love to get some feedback from those who are currently going to or have gone to practical nursing school and have young children (toddlers/early grade school). What is the workload like for full time and part time (weekend)? I'm worried that I won't have much time to spend with my children if I go full time; missing special moments in their young lives.

I'm in a similar position! I applied for an evening/weekend part time LPN program and I really hope to get in. I have a 7 year old, a 4 year old and I am expecting my third child in May. I homeschool my children during the day (only 4 hours a day.) If I don't get into that program, they also offer a full time day program. But that is my plan B, because it will change family life/ homeschool a lot. I believe I could do either program, but part time will be a much better fit.

Good luck to you! Do you plan to start school right after the baby is born or wait a few months? I am also trying to figure out when I should start. I'm leaning towards when my oldest starts Kindergarten but that's two years away and I'm so eager to start! Please keep us updated when you get accepted ?

Thank you! The evening program starts a few weeks before my baby is due...so it will be a little crazy but my husband plans to help out. However, the day program starts 4 months after baby is due. So we will see. I will definitely send an update!

Two years until kindergarten is a long time away. You could become an LPN within that time. ? I have been waiting/wanting to start nursing school for 7 years. Being home with my children has always come first, so I know what you are feeling.
