Who is going to watch your baby while you are in class? FYI if you are going to need to find a child care provider - doing so for an infant here in the great state of CO can prove to be difficult d/t very stringent state regulations put on the daycare centers.....they have to have very low provider to infant ratios. This severely limits the number of children under the age of 2 that they can take and then also it is very expensive. Denver 9news actually did a story about this issue a couple months ago.
Another problem is that nursing school clinicals can be at very unconventional hours, on weekends, eves, early mornings ect and most childcare people only want to work 'bankers hours.'
I personally had a hard time - and then a very bad experience - getting a babysitter/daycare for my infant when I went back to work. I hope you have better luck.
Thank you for you inputs.. if i was going to put the baby in daycare it would be on base.. either way i would start in aug and the baby would be 4 months old or wait til jan or try and baby will be 9 months old... not sure yet...
