I was told to come give my input on this post. Although I am going for ultrasound, not nursing. I'm the one pmabraham was talking about in his post. Yes, I have 7 kids. My youngest two are twins who are 22 months old. My oldest is 12.5 (The ones in between are 3, 4.5, 7 and 10). This past semester, I took 13 credits. In the Spring semester I'll be taking A&P 2, a physics class, a French class and a psychology class, for a total of 15 credits. I also have a part time job. Only 10 hours per week. In January that job will be changing to tutoring other students at the school. I very often get asked how I do it. Well, I guess part of it is genetics. My brain is very math/science oriented. My husband works at home and was watching the kids while I was at school, along with my mom, however we now have childcare set up so he can work more effectively while I'm at school. I take notes during my classes and make sure I understand everything that's being talked about. My husband also helped me study for my A&P class. Part of it is also bad luck in a way. I have a lot of trouble sleeping at night, so I often use that time to study or write papers or do homework. I also drink a lot of caffeine throughout the day (which probably only hurts my current sleeping situation). Maybe this will make me sound bad, but I have been a stay at home mom since my oldest child was born so going to school is getting a break from them and some me-time. And yes, the end goal is a huge motivation for me, as well as knowing that the program I'm entering is extremely competitive, and I need to get good grades. I don't know if my post was helpful at all. I just thought I'd share my experience. :)
