Has anyone gone to school with 2 or more children?

Question

i have a 7 month old and am pregnant again and was thinking of going to nursing school. am i going to be able to do this or is it extremely difficult?

i am married so my husband does help when he's home but he does work a lot.

has anyone else done this and how did you do it?

Answer 1

Well, I know it was a long time ago, but my grandmother did it with four children. She had three children 10 and up, and one infant, and she completed nursing school and got her RN. It took a lot of strength and willpower, but she did it. I think you'll do great as long as you manage your time well for you and your family. Good luck!

Answer 3

My mom went back to school (she's a RN) after my youngest brother was born; she had 3 children.  So, yes, it is possible.  Not easy but possible.  If you have family near by, that would be very helpful.  Good luck.

Answer 4

i tried but i felt guilty. i ended up going back to school when my son turned 9. i graduated when he was 12. working, being a mom, and going to school is tough.

Answer 5

I went to school with one child....it was not hard at all b/c of the way my schedule was set.  I only had to take 12 credits my last semester (when Emma was born) and I had a large break in between classes where I could do homework.  I was in the education field though, I have heard nursing is VERY difficult and requires a LOT of studying.  You may consider online schooling where you just take one class at a time at your own pace.
