My boys are 6 1/2 and 8. Right now I have a lot of support from my family (hopefully it stays that way). I'm looking to go back to my old department before I start school, and hopefully I'll be able to work from home. It will give me a few more hours with my boys, and no commute time to work, which will make it easier to study. Since I'll be going to school part time I'm thinking the clinicals won't be for a few years..is that correct? My life status may change by then but I don't want to get myself into something I can't do. I am determined and focused...I'm ready to be on the other side of health care!

hello everyone. i am a 28 year old (100%) single mother of 2 boys...i want to enroll in school either nursing or ultrasound tech but both have clincal rotations. a friend of mine is in the nursing program, she is enrolled full-time and has a husband that supports her financially. she tells me that you can not work at all during clinical rotations (1-2) years depending on what i decide to go to school for. my question....are there any other single parents out there that have done this, and how? i currently work for a health insurance company and have been there for 5 years, so i make okay money but i need that money for everyday bills...just curious if i should even attempt this or if it will just be impossible to provide for my family during clinicals thanks!
