I know how u feel I have asked myself the same question over and over, because my family dose not understand the importance of the course,,they dont understand that this course is intense that I need all the free time that I could use to study,, I have an 11 month old baby boy, + 18 yrs old , 10 yrs old,, I dont know what was I thinking when I signed up for school,,lol,,but I cant turn back now, already 6months into the lpn prgram 6 more to go,,just hang in there keep telling your family over and over hopefully they will support you,,good luck,,,
