ive just registered to start my nursing course (pre-program) and im now absolutely mortified!!! im 27 and have 3 kids ages 7,6, & 1 and my husband works nights and sleeps during the day. i didnt do very well in high school and im afraid that i wont be able to get the scores i need to stay in school. most of my classes are online and i think that thats a big help for me in not having to juggle school, daycares (i do not get childcare assistance so thats a HUGE financial burden in my household), and picking up my older kids from school. however, i have a hard time retaining information and focusing on the task at hand, im easily distracted and all ive heard is horror storys about other people i know going for theyre nursing staying up all night to meet homework deadlines and how they dont know how im gonna be able to make it with 3 kids and keeping up with a household because they were hardly able to pass with none or 1 child and someone helping out....i want this very very much to make a better future for my family and my kids future, i am alone since my husband is working nights so i dont have to work and can focus on being a full time student but that also leaves me being pretty much a single parent and i keep telling myself i can do it but with all emphases from others on how hard and time consuming this program is has me doubting myself and the ability to handle such a large load without neglecting my children.... i guess im coming here for a little boast of i can do it support, what the course really intails, and also some tips on focusing and retaining info ... can someone please help ease my mind a little
