This was my mom's story! My mom was in her final semester and doing clinicals. If she missed too many days, she would have had to wait until the following year to graduate. Mom, being the stubborn woman-of-steel she was, was undeterred. She birthed me via c-section on Thursday and walked into class the following Monday holding her staples in place. Do I recommend this? Maybe not. Does it mean your less of a person or mother if you do/don't? Not at all. I'd recommend evaluating your family situation and how much people will be able to pitch in to make it work. The beginning months of bonding is important, but I can't speak to how important being able to work as a nurse this coming year is to your family. Either way, women like you amaze me. All the best!

Hi meetsally, I'm in for FNP as well. Which day did you interview? I was there on 2/22 and wondering if we met at the lunch. Either way, congrats!
