I am a 25 year old single mom of a 4 year old girl. I am in my second year (1 year left to RN) so I am a full time student, I work full-time between my jobs as a CNA at the local hospital on both the behavioral health unit and the medical/surgical unit. My daughter is in ice skating, swim, gymnastics, and soccer. I am also a room parent for her junior kindergarten class. Just know, you can get through this. There are plenty of programs out there to help (being a single mom gets you great financial aid if you're on your own), school day cares are usually pretty cheap b/c they have a lot of early education majors getting there practice in there (around 3 something an hour). To afford my daughter going to all of her classes I get financial aid for the YMCA (FREE SWIM LESSONS!). I know it's tough but you'll make it through...I swear Nursing is THE profession for single moms!
