Is the LPN Program hard? (with 3 kids) or should I go MA route?

Question

I have a 10, 8 and 2 year old. I was thinking of taking the MA program, now thinking of LPN (see my other question). But which will I be able to handle having 3 kids. My husband rarely helps out, so can't count on that! Can anyone tell me how hard it is. I'm also a little freaked with the "blood work stuff". Will I get over that?

Answer 1

I'll put it this way , you will need to set aside a few hours every night to study and do your homework in order to get passing grades. I will tell you that you need to be very dedicated and determined to get through, when your raising a family. You also need a good support system and back up sitters. If this is something you really want to do then you can, but be certain.I found nursing school to be very enjoyable as I was eager to learn and I loved medicine, however, working as a nurse is a back-breaking profession (literally) , it entails excellent organization skills, good judgment, and very high stress due to the high patient workload. Remember it takes a ton of physical work, and mental work as well----no room for mistakes!!!! Give it much thought as the medical field in general is high stress!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

I did it with a 6 year old. You need to be able to devote at least an hour or two each night to studying. I did it in 2 years, though most programs are only one. The reason I did it in 2 years was it was a mother's hours program that ran 3-4 days a week from 8:30 to 2:30. I found this was better than going 5 days a week.

i'm a artwork at homestead mom...I actually have a house based employer as a clothier with Latasia rings and prefer it! the employer has been in employer for over 15 years and is a member of the DSA. The interest is relaxing, straight forward and the money is large. i'm unsure what style of pastimes you have in spite of the undeniable fact that it must be an decision so which you would be able to evaluate. i could be satisfied to deliver you some data in case you will like and might help you get began for loose. i do no longer want to to break any of the yahoo regulations, so once you're intereseted in listening to greater, my touch data is on my profile. stable success!
