Ill be finding out whether or not I was accepted into my schools nursing program next month(which im pretty sure ill be accepted) but I just found out that im pregnant. Im no more than a few weeks im sure and already have a one year old. By the time this baby is born, my one year old will be 2. I have lots of drive and determination. I believe strongly in God and know with prayer and faith he will take care of everything. But im still a bit worried. Is there anyone out there who has experienced this and was successful? Im not looking for a bunch of discouragment. I already know that this will be hard. Im simply looking for some guidance and if anyone feels they can be helpful im definitely willing to listen. I live by myself with my son. I moved to the city im in now because they have a better nursing program. The father of my children lives and hour and a half away. I have no family here to help. But I do have an awesome group of friends who are very supportive and more than willing to do what they can to help. The only thing that Im really worried about is whats going to happen after I have my child. Its due in March and I can NOT miss more than 2 clinical days. I had a C-section with my first child and my doctor told me this one will be a C-section as well. I can schedule to be induced during spring break but afterwards????? I dont really know. I can have a family member come and stay with me until the babys 6 weeks and is able to go to daycare I guess. Do you feel that this can be done? Any suggestions? Any personal experiences?

First and foremost, CONGRATULATIONS!...To get right to the point, if you are doubting yourself and whether or not you can do it, then maybe you should hold off a semester since you sound pretty confident that you can get in, you should be fine for the next application period too then. I know that my situation was not as difficult as yours but, I had a 1 1/2 year old and was pregnant 2 semesters before I could graduate while commuting over an hour to school everyday so that I didn't have to move my huband and first child. My last semester I made sure that it was my last by taking 19 units even. It was A LOT of work, and it was very exhausting but you have to know that you can do it. Resources like friends and family to help with the little ones usually seem to fall into place but you have to will yourself through everyday. Take care of yourself, stay healthy and make sure you choose seats next to doors and bathrooms in case you have to run out from morning sickness and having to go to the bathroom all the time. If you are a single mom, living on your own to go to school, you women are strong and I'm sure you will have no problem! :)

Thanks alot! I can already tell that I will be very drained. Im only 2 months into my pregnancy and im already exhausted. Terrible headaches. And I feel a mess. (not to mention this Texas heat is ridiculous!!!!) But im still very determined to finish. I love love love hearing stories from women like yourself that relate to mine because it gives me even more motivation knowing that youve been where im at and you made it through. Im so afraid of letting my children down and hearing you was inspiring. Thank you so much. Please keep me in your prayers.
