To All SINGLE Mothers....

Published

I just want to know how you make things work? Especially to the mothers in nursing school who have no support system. I am asking this b/c I live in MI and will be relocating to OH (most likely) to attend nursing school next fall and I have two small children. At that time they will be 4 and 1. I have always had a tight support system and I dont know how I will make it w/o them. On top of that, I hear that its very hard and sometimes impossible to work when in nursing school full time, so how will I make ends meet? How will I pay my rent, get food on the table, daycare, etc. with no job? Could someone who has been in this boat before please give me some help/advice? Thanks...

I was able to get state assistance for daycare (early childhood scholarship), Pell-grant to cover school and extra $1000 for living expenses, loans (a lot), and copay support from my school (for the extra cost that the childcare scholarship didn't cover) and I work 2 days a week. This covers it... whew. It takes A LOT of planning.

It's doable though. You will find help along the way as long as you are sincerely trying (this is what I've found anyway)

Which state are you in and which school do you go to?

Montana/FVCC

by the way, the $1000 is for the year - not a monthly amount :)
