I've taken the first steps toward becoming a nurse by enrolling in prerequisites. I'm nearly done and have gotten fairly ndecent grades. I want to do an ABSN program with the ultimate goal of becoming a CNM. Here's the catch. I'm also finally getting divorced (yay!) and have a toddler. Luckily, my mom is around to help pick up the slack. This leaves me in the position of not being able to not work while going to school. I'm the sole provider where I'm most worried about health insurance and of of course, rent. I know that most of these programs say it's in the best interest of the student to quit their jobs. Only in la la land!
I would like to know if others here have done it and what sort of schedule they kept to achieve success. I've tried the overnight shift thing, my body will not let me do that.
