I like this idea. I was planning on the per dime thing anyway. I'll have to look into the opportunities for per diem work in Oklahoma. And for the one that says it's a waste, it's not! First, learning can never be a waste. Second, family CERTAINLY isn't a waste! I love nursing but I also love being a housewife. I'd love to use it eventually but I want a few years with my kids. I grew up in a traditional southern family and my mom stayed at home with us.

I guess I probably should've chose a more family oriented career but I enjoy it so much.

Although that seems like a good idea, then we wouldn't be together. What I really want is to be a stay at home mom. I enjoy summers when I get to be a house wife. I don't really want to put off school since I'm already in but just thinking of waiting potentially 5 years for children sounds terrible.

I'm a first year nursing student in a traditional BSN program. My husband and I have been married a year & a half and currently have no children. Well... Except the dogs lol. I married young but he's a few years older. When I graduate, he will be almost 30. We're really wanting to start a family. I can't imagine anyone else raising my children since my mother stayed at home with me. I don't think my husband wants to wait long after graduation since we'll have been married 3 years. I don't want to wait either but I'm terrified I'll never be able to be hired when my kids go to school. Suggestions?
