Hi, I have my bachelor's degree (40 years old), experience as a labor assistant, and family in the medical profession. But I am a hands-on single mom of an 11 year old & 13 year old. They are in band, cheerleading, etc, and I have no family or network to help, including their father who lives in another state. Am I unrealistic to think I can do this? How on earth will I ever have time to cook dinner? Take the kids to the doctor? Help them with their homework? I just finished a pretty intense year as a first-year teacher - they had us working 90 hours a week, including weekends, filling out forms and grading papers and never being good enough. You can't believe how overwhelming teaching can be - I'm thinking it will make me accustomed to the demands of nursing school, and appreciative as well. So if I can get through that, can I get through nursing school? I want the big, bad, ugly story. My budget is extremely tight being a non-working single mom (now laid-off), so buying convenience food is completely out of the question. I will even be putting the gas to get to school on my credit card, 60 miles a day. Thanks for your help!
