Hey, My name is Arvid; I am a parmedic too with a 2 1/2 yo boy. Just started school. Lots of Crap in my situ .... however. Be mindfull how you judge your guilt or make assumption of how other will judge you. I have many of those same trepidations ..... Daycare ... ugh vs BIG picture. Prior learning makes the studies go smoother even though ya still have to show up and do the werk. Keep things simple and communicate you feelings with your sweetie and others, like here. I have opted to go LPN, get working and bridge later into RN. Made sence for me and my fam. Take care of yourself and your family. Good luck, Arvid was here
