I've been debating it. I was about to apply to the local community college bridge program but I'm pregnant. I knew it wouldn't be an easy pregnancy because I have epilepsy - and it hasn't. I've been to the ER 3 times & sick constantly. My first trimester was miserable, I was sick & vomiting every day. I was working full time & had to resign due to my pregnancy. I REALLY want to bridge & get my RN but I also don't want to get a job & have to quit because I'm pregnant again.
I was going to apply for the fall 2015 program but when I graduate we would start trying for our second. I don't want to get my license & then not use it for a year or more. I don't want to have to explain why I didn't work for so long & make it seem like I'm always sick. So I guess I have to delay school some more.
So what should I do? Put off school some more or apply for the 2015 fall program? I'm so torn & just want to do what's best.

We're going through a similar debate right now. My son is one and I have always wanted my children to be close in age; however (if all goes right) I am starting an accelerated nursing program this May and won't graduate until September 2015. So we have to wait until I'm at least halfway through my program because I don't want to be pregnant while in school. Sucks but you have to do what you have to do.[/quote']
Good luck in the program! It is tough trying to balance everything. No wonder everyone said to get my RN before I had kids. Haha.
