I'm new to the sight but wanted to comment on your post. I had a child at 19 and tried to go to school while she was little. I was not ready at the time and used any excuse in the book. I think that you really need to sit down and think about what you want and why you want it before you take the leap. If this is something that you really want you will do what it takes to get it. I to am nervous about what I will do when I get accepted into the program, my whole life will need to change to go to school full time during the day, but I take it one day/step at a time, and that has allowed me not to get to overwhelmed. There are alot of single mothers both young and old that are taking these classes and fighting to get into the nursing program so it can be done. Please learn from my mistakes, as a young mother/college student I made the mistake of not caring and getting not so great grades that ten years later haunt me! Ultimitly you are the only one that can know if you can do it or not, but in the end if you choose this path your boys are really going to be proud of their mom and you will be able to give them a great life. I wish you all the best of luck! Christine
