I was just looking to hear stories from anyone on how to work, be a mom and go to school. I work full time 8-5, while my daughter goes to daycare. I can't find a night program other than MCI, (which I just have bad feelings about). If I quit my job and go to school full time, I won't be bringing in any income but still have to pay daycare. Another impossibility. I can try to find an evening job, I just am not having any luck. I am a medical assistant, and our positions aren't usually evening ones. Plus my husband is Navy so if he is shipped out I am really in trouble. Is it impossible? Any suggestions? Help! Thanks Laura

Michelle- The reason I am torn is because I have to work and go to school at the same time. It would be hard for me to quit my job because it is perfect. I work four days a week and my boss is very flexible. Also, I would have to take the the pre-reqs for Sentara, and from what I have heard MCI has them built in. So, yes it is cheaper, but I would still have to pay for a few semesters at TCC to do pre-reqs, and timing wise it would take me much longer. Thanks for your advice. laura

Thanks so much for your input. I will think carefully about the Sentara thing.

Hello, all. Glad I found this site. I was curious if anyone can help me with a few questions. Does the MCI RN program have a night option? and has anyone graduated yet? Also, does anyone know about the Sentara program offering to pay your tuition if you sign to work there for a few years? Has anyone done that? Thanks in advance. Laura
