I agree that it is a personal decision and you should evaluate what is a priority for you at this time. However, it is possible! I delivered my 2nd child during the 2nd month of my program and continued to achieve A's. I am also pregnant again with our 3rd and will deliver right after graduation. It is tough with fatigue , but I just figure everyone going to nursing school has some obstacles to finding time to study and to our family having a baby at that time was important to us to have our children close in age. On a side note, I attend a weekends/evenings program and there have been over 10 babies born since the start of the program in 9/09. All of the students have managed to continue achieving passing grades. Good luck with your decision!

The assignment is to survey working nurses, so surveying fellow students wouldn't work.

Thank you for all of your input! I am just having trouble with figuring out how I, a 2nd year student, could teach time management or IV insertion (which we aren't trained in due to IV teams at the hospitals in MN) in 20 minutes. Any more topic related suggestions (such as helping an alcoholic patient going through withdrawls on your unit, nursing differences for an obese patient, Downs Syndrome...) that I may be capable to train fellow students on? Thanks again for your help and I do agree on the lack of time at clinicals. I am just so blessed to have gotten a mentorship. Only 1/3 of our class was lucky enough, in the past it was 100% who was interested. Another bummer to the lack of nursing jobs and those available to mentor.

We have an assignment to survey nurses and SN to find out what additional training/education would interest them. Then we are to teach on the topic. Could you please throw out some suggestions that would interest you as a nurse or SN? Thanks!
