I used to do my homework with the chidren when they were doing theirs. I brought my books to ball games, doctor appointments, and the beach. I got up at 2am when I needed quited time alone to do homework. My husband resented my attention toward my school work at the end. But, all is well now and I am working on my ANP.

It isn't hard....it is a lot of paperwork and reading and research. I found that I learned a lot. Some of the projects helped my community. Don't be afraid, focus on your task at hand. Take a little breather, then just do it. You will be glad.

Thank you Centex, RN! I too am experiencing the anxiety attacks. I don't want to get OOB, I don't eat. I have lost 14 pounds over the past couple of weeks! I know the feeling of dread over answering the phone. It is exactly like a ending a bad marriage. I am trying to get past it one day at a time. I am spending time with my children, and trying to force to panic and anxiety out of my thoughts. Good luck to you, we will get past this. rodeynurse

I just resigned from my HH position. I was tired, I got paid for 40 worked 60 in the office plus carried the phone 24/7. I am scared and upset, but I picked to get rid of that stress. Good luck to you as you decide.

Don't give up, be persistant, follow your dream and your heart. Your children will benefit from you getting a nursing degree. Is it possible to look into financial aid? If you decide to become an HCA first you will earn money and experience, some employers even pay for you to go to school. (at least in the US they do) good luck, and best wishes.:wink2:
