WOW! You guys are all awesome!! Thanks so much for all the info, it seems daunting but it helps to know that it can be done - does anyone have kid(s), I have a 2y/o (as of January 6th he'll be 2) and I have awesome family support but would like to know if any of you have tips so that I can still spend as much time with him as possible while getting done what needs to be done - my schedule is: Mon - 1pm-3pm lecture (with travel 12pm - 4pm) Tues & Wed - 6am - 3pm (with travel 5am - 4pm) Thurs - 8am - 11am (with travel 7am - 12pm) I have him set up to be taken care of during those times and he wakes up around 8-8:30am and naps 1pm - 3pm and then goes to bed at 7:30pm (he's SUPER active so he likes to sleep!) so I am thinking that when I get home at 4pm on Mon - Wed & 12pm on Thurs. I can be with him, feed him & put him to bed at 7:30pm and then commence to studying my butt off for as long as it takes (at LEAST until 11:30pm which would mean 4hrs per night, 28hrs a week devoted to study time) and then Friday do whatever I have to do at the school, be with him, study at night and then study as much as I need to over the weekend. I'm a pretty good student and pretty good at time management and definitely aware that none of the above is set in stone and things come up but does that seem pretty reasonable to you all? Thank you all again so much, I didn't think I'd have so many responses so soon!! Best, Christa

Hi! Will begin RN-Nursing degree in January 2011 for SPC and am really curious as to what to expect in both the classrooms and clinicals. Can anyone provide a sort of a "day in the life" of a first semester RN nursing student both in class and at the hospital? Any and all info/details would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you :0)
