| Posted over 5 years ago I just started school in August - yes it is very stressful and have wondered many times is this stress worth it? I do believe it is especially the more time I invest and the more I learn the more fascinated I am with this "world" we call nursing. I also got married in August to a man who was supportive of my goal and dream of becoming a nurse. Now he is not. That makes things really hard. I wish you well and just keep your eyes on your goal and remember in the end it will be worth it. You will have a good job and one that you love if your dream is truly to be a nurse!!!!! |

| Posted over 5 years ago I just graduated this June. I have a six year old son who was in Kindergarten the time I was trying to graduate. On top of that I am engaged to be married in May 08. There were many clincal hours to finish, preceptor hours, papers, and exams for school. I had PTO meeting, volunteer bingo, and help with homework for my son. Then I also had plans to acomplish for the wedding. The final big one studying for the NCLEX. All this happening together (gets people in tune with the nursing field, I guess).

| Posted over 5 years ago Hey, I'm a mother of two, just quit my part time job to concentrate on school more. My hubby works full time and goes to school full time. I feel like a single parent sometimes. Now that I just have the kids and school to worry about, I am doing much better. I actually have time to cook and clean along with studying!!! Good luck to you. I know its hard especially when you have to work and the kids are in extra cirricular activities.
