thanks ninja, stephalump for your responses. reading these comments and being minded of how many other mothers have done well in nursing school under far different circumstances is very motivating and encouraging. i feel very fortunate and blessed for the wonderful people in my life and for having been given the opportunity to enter this nursing program. and for my husband to have been accepted to the academy! it's all overwhelming! but in a good way. my nerves have settled now. LET'S DO IT! :yelclap:

thanks bear! it's really motivating to hear of other mother's experiences, specifically those whose hubbys were in "class" themselves. congrats, btw!

that's so good to hear! thank you! like i mentioned, i have been working for years and years and in order to do so we put our daughter in day care since she was 3 months old! she ABSOLUTELY loves it! we love it! i don't know if it's realistic, but i'm hoping to get all (or most) of my studying done before i pick her up at 5. if i need to lose sleep to spend my evenings with her, so be it. she's just an amazing little girl and i'd really miss her. but she has her mom and dad, her aunt and uncle that just moved in with us, and grandparents that live in town. i think my nerves have gotten the better of me. so much so that i doubted wheather is was a good idea to apply to nursing school now (i mean, shouldn't i have let my hubby finish first!??) but i'm excited. our family is so supportive and proud of the choices we've recently made. plus, we want our daughter to know how important a college education is. whether your 18 fresh out of high school, or 30, looking for a change.

try amazon! that's where i got mine

Micro for me next week!

Morning! So I have been accepted to nursing school for the ADN program. I'm so excited! But then worry drifted over me... you see, my husband will start a police academy in a few months and we have a 2 year old! Is it crazy to think we can do it all?? Is nursing school really that difficult? Is it really going to consume my life? Will I have time with my husband and our daughter?? The whole idea of changing careers for both of us is to better our family. Luckily I will not be working. And I have since I graduated high school over 10 years ago. But my last position, well let's just say there were problems and I knew I needed to go back to school to be able to provide a better life for our daughter. Any advice?? Thanks for your help!

thank you!!!! i truly appreciate it!

congratulations Bobmo88!! let's do this!!!

thanks everyone for your responses! and guess what.. this morning i received a call... I'M IN!!!! i am so excited and nervous! classes start in just two weeks and i still have to find a replacement at work! im gonna bust my butt for the next two years! good luck to you all!

thanks for replying. i'm not sure the exact number that they accepted. they said anywhere from 30-50. it's just so nerve wrecking. i'm tempted to call but when i did a couple of weeks ago they asked me to be patient! lol. guess i'll just prepare in the event that i'm not accepted.

so i have applied to my local community college for the ADN program. i have completed all requirements (pre reqs, entrance exam, immunizations, etc.). i have just been informed that i am ranked as alternate # 2. i know what this means, i know how the ranking works, but what are my chances of being accepted? it's so nerve wrecking. they said i'd be informed no later than the 17th. i want it so badly. this time last year i had a 1.9 gpa (i obviously majored in partying when i began college) and have raised it now to a 3.1. will i be accepted? how many alternates are usually accepted? thanks for all your replys. i appreciate it! have a good one!
