I would set specific times during the week that were completley dedicated to school work. Maybe bring the kids to a babysitter, or while they are napping that way the house is quiet and you can spread your books and papers out without being disrupted. Good luck!!
I absolutley agree with you. So many people think that nursing is just 'good money' and have no idea how much hard work is put into it. I tell people that they should either shadow a nurse or become a cna/lna to test the waters a little bit before going to nursing school.
