I am trying to get my daughter into thinking about going to school but she is a single mother of two.  She also dropped out of school at 16 and went back later to get her GED.  She is thinking about becoming a CMA but I believe it is because she thinks that is all that she can handle psychologically as well as physically. I know that if she went to become an LVN her opportunities and income will be so much greater but the intensity of the program might be too much for her.  I think that she could handle it if she wanted to.  I got my ADN in two years while raising small children but I also didn't have to work and had the support of my husband.  She doesn't have that advantage.  She lives with me so I can give her the support and help with the kids but I work full-time, too.  Any suggestions?
