Get as much sleep as possible. Study hard. Try to get as much help with your child as possible. Be as prepared as possible for your clinicals. Don't change test answers after your initial response. Get a good study group together. And remember that even though you learn a lot in nursing school, you'll learn what you really need to know that first year on the job.

What you're doing is possible, but exhausting. If possible, cut back to part time at work...involve the father or grandparent of your child to help out. The final 2 semesters will be the most difficult, so be prepared! If there is no friend or no one to help you...then all I can say, is do your best to meet the challenge. Once you've graduated you will look back on this time as a major accomplishment. I wish you well in your academic and professional career. Godspeed!

You just keep your mind on the goal at the end of the two year stint. If something has to give, I suggest you cut back your work hours and get a student loan. It will put you into debt yes, but this will be easier to pay off after you qualify and start working full time.

I'd quit Nursing if I were you. The hours are horrible and the career advancement is limited and you'll be stuck with catty females all day long vying for the attention of a bunch of egotistical doctors with beer guts.
Major in architecture. You have the mind for that. I can tell by the architectural shape of how you write sentences and line break your paragraph.

I can't help you, but my step mom put herself through nursing school raising 3 young daughters by herself, so I know it can be done...
Good luck!!

I agree with L S.
Remeber: Whatever you do, try not to panic.
Stay calm no matter what the situation is.
Best of luck!
