Thank you! I am thinking along those lines as well. Best of luck to you! Are you currently homeschooling?

Thank you so much for your input, it really helps. I actually just logged on to submit a post about the possibility of landing an ICU job as a new grad. I researched my city's listings, and it seems that ICU experience is preferred, but not mandatory for some of the positions. I agree about breaking it down into small goals, as I am approaching final exams next week and am nearing the end of my first semester. That is the obvious short term goal, but I can't help but think about the long term goal, and am honestly already worried about getting into CRNA school.

Devon, thank you for your response! I appreciate the feedback. I am not alone and have a strong support system. We've been homeschooling for a couple of years and she is very advanced. She's 4 and reading at 3rd grade level, for instance. She knows all of the elements, their atomic numbers, symbols/names, and is beginning to learn how they react with one another. If I put her in school now, she'd be completely out of place. Kids her age are learning letters and colors and she can already read books. I'd have lots of help. I'm wondering if even with help (and by help I mean baby sitting, house maintenance from dishes to laundry to cooking), will it be possible? I only have a vague understanding of what CRNA school entails. I know it will be time consuming and challenging, but I don't know much outside of that. Thanks again!

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone would be able to give me their experiences with homeschooling while attending nursing school. I am currently homeschooling my 4 year old and am almost done with my first semester of nursing school. The ultimate goal is to maintain her schooling, become an RN, work, and apply to and complete CRNA school. I have all of the willpower and organizational skills that I believe are needed to successfully homeschool while receiving my education, but am lacking actual experiences. I don't know any other homeschool moms. Thank you :-)

I'm hoping that some of you are still active in this thread. I am hoping to get some insight from someone who has homeschooled their children while attending nursing school. I am currently homeschooling and am midway through my first semester. So far so good, but I would really like to know what your experiences have been like. Thank you!
