Anyone in nursing school or go to nursing school after kids?
I have two children and work full time in a career that I hate. I plan to go back to school soon and want to attend nursing school after finishing my pre-recs. It is going to be quite difficult because I still have to work while going to school so that we can make ends meet. Anyone do this? Any advice? It seems soooo overwhelming.

Re: Anyone in nursing school or go to nursing school after kids?
I am currently a RN so I am not in nursing school for that but I am going back to get my masters so I can be a NP. Currently all of my classes are online which is the only way I would be able to do it along with working fulltime, have a family, and we are expanding our family this summer.
A lot of schools offer clinical in the evening which will help if you have to work along with going to school. Another option is try to get a job in a hospital that will then pay for your to get your RN degree. It is not an easy thing to do, (go to school and have a family) but it is not impossible. It just depends on how flexible your job is. Also go part time to school instead of full time will help decrease the stress. You will feel overswhelmed at times. Right now I am thinking we are out of our mind having another child while I am getting my masters but I know it will all work out. It is not forever and the end result will be better for you and your family. Good luck!!
