Very good point! Thank you loveblossom! Now I just need your recipes! lol My kids are a 1 and 3... so unfortunatley they can't study with me but, my oldest will be getting into preschool and she pretends now that she has homework! She can help! Definitly have to start slow because the community college that I am going to is so competitive if I don't have an A or B on the pre req and score high on the NLN, I won't get in!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I am enrolled at College of Lake County and will take the CNA course coming up in January... the plan is to start working part time nights as a CNA and school and mom...I have 3 pre req classes... hope to be enrolled in 2012! Can anyone provide feedback of what CLC is like?

I am a mother of 2, in my 30's, and married. I feel like it is my duty to be a wife and mother first. How do people do this? Work, raise children, and get good grades????? Always just an average student growing up.... Grew up in a small town in southern IL and when I told my parents that I wanted to go to college they laughed and told me to go to work down the street at the factory. Neatless to say, I am not in that small town any more...always wanted to be a nurse but was just an average student. This is scary... I want to be come a nurse but, the road looks long.... 2nd time around I am finding to be very picky on picking the school.....can't find any reputation on CLC and what it is like... The advisor's are not very outgoing and don't really motivate you at all. I know this sounds cheesy but, I am reading a ton on how hard nursing is... So much more to lose at this stage of my life... I don't want to fail... Any advice?
