OK, I know this is a personal decision, but I'm looking to hear others' stories in regards to their experience. I'm 23 and I just decided that I really want to be a nurse. I should finish my prereqs by summer of 2013, and HOPEFULLY I can get into the nursing program by the fall. I know how hard it is to get into the programs, but I've never been one to think about the failure part of the situation. But there's that chance that I might have to wait.. My husband is 34 and in no hurry to have a baby, but we know we want to. We both think it will be best to wait 2 and a half years until I finish nursing school (if i get in right away) How hard is it really to manage nursing school, a part time job, being a wife AND a newborn? I'd love to hear your advice.
