Hi, without telling you my sob story, I have found myself suddenly a single mom to my three year old. I have always had an interest in nursing and already have an AA so i have a head start. I am desperate to find a career that will allow me to provide for my little boy and this seems to be one of the best choices, but I dont know what to do about childcare. How do you moms find care for a 12 hour shift or do you just have to be limited to 8 hour shifts? There is a comm coll here that has a good RN program that I could complete in two years. For those of you who have traveled this road could you help me feel a little more positive about things working out. I would appreciate it.
