Hi. I'm a single mom with only one child (she just turned 4 this past weekend), I work part time as a bookkeeper, just finishing up my second semester in a 2 yr RN program at a community & technical college, and I take 6 credit hours at a local university toward a BSN in health sciences in order to qualify for financial aid to pay for all this madness (have too many college credits to qualify for federal aid at a community & technical college). Needless to say, I am SOOOO glad this semester is almost over!!! In the past week, there have been 4 nights that I've gotten between 1 and 3 hours of sleep. My advice to you is... your children are only little once, enjoy it while you can (as long your situation will allow you to do so). I can't speak for all nursing programs but 2 yr programs are very rigorous and just having one child could make that complicated. I can't imagine doing this and having 3 children. I didn't even have time this past weekend to have a birthday party for my daughter. Our closest family was here, she had a few gifts (that I purchased that morning), and some cake. And of course, my nursing study buddy was here but then again she always is! I'm not saying it's not possible, it just depends on how bad you want to be a nurse. GOOD LUCK in whatever you decide, terrible mother
