When I say no work, I also mean not having to tend to kids all day as well - I too am a parent on top of working full time, so I understand how that works too

I wouldn't even be so quick to say that those that don't have kids and don't work have it easier. Everyone has different things going on in life that can effect how they do in nursing school whether it be work, kids, a bad home life etc.
