It can be done! I started school with a 2 year old and 3 month old...2 years later I've added another one. If school lets you - take time off, it'll help. But even with 3 under 4 years right now, school is tough but manageable :)

Chamberlain is actually really good - I'm currently in my 2nd year there. They have high expectations and a consolidated curriculum, so it's certainly stressful. They do have great hospitals that participate for clinicals, and unlike some schools, they offer a capstone where you're able to choose you favorite unit and participate in your final clinical at that site. Another really interesting aspect is the Faculty - Student relationship. The president has an "open door" policy and returns emails at almost any hour. They are all really driven to help students succeed and they listen to suggestions. Each term they implement changes that were initiated by student survey suggestions. And then also, there's no waiting list and a rolling admission. It is expensive, but they also have a state of the art SIM Lab that beats out almost any other school...
