im going to try to keep it short, so forgive me if it runs together. i started college when i was 17. i went for about 2 years, had a son, went back, found out i was pregnant, and stopped again to have my 2nd son. after my 2nd son i went part time for 2 years and full time for 1. i was/ am going for nursing. i failed a class by 3 points which put me out of the ADN program. after that we lost our house and i was diagnosed with cervical caner. i had surgery to take care of it. we have had the car repoed. i just had another scare with a growth in my mouth, thought it was cancer. i had that removed and further tests shows that it wasnt cancer and a recent pap smear says that the cervical cancer hasnt come back. so now we are renting a place and my husband is working a full time job. we just bought a van. i have my oldest son in school and my youngest at home. i am trying to decide if i should try to go back to school, i am 4 classes away from becoming an LPN. but my worry now is my kids. i have someone that says that they will get my son from the bus stop everyday, and keep my youngest as well. but im concerned about their comitment to that. im scared that if i start back they will not keep their comitment and i will have to quit AGAIN!! i want to go back and finish but i wonder if now is the right time, but then again will there always be something to make me say that now isnt the right time. PLEASE help me decide what to do. Thanks in advance, and please no smart comments that will make me feel bad about thinking about doing this.
Yes, you should go back. Get your LPN, and then go directly for your RN. I’ve heard that they may phase out LPN’s soon. But you could get your LPN and then go to an online school for your RN so you won’t have to worry about the scheduling with your son. Try offering this person money to keep your sons. Go to church, make some friends, ask for help. Go back to school, it will be worth it.
