How Do I Get Through Pre-Reqs?
I am a mom, nurse, college student, and now I'm "coaching" my 9 year olds' rec league soccer team!!! I know it's a lot, but I want to be involved with my kids, but I need to work and I'm trying to get my RN so I can provide a better life for them. I am currently enrolled in A&P 1 and my humanities course is Intro to Philosophy. The A&P I'm pretty sure I will eventually get the hang of, once we get past the petty junk of neutrons and all that. When it gets into the stuff I actually understand, I'm not worried about that. Intro to Philosophy?! (YAWN)! I have no idea what I was thinking getting into THAT!!! Anyway, I guess I'm trying to ask if anyone has any ideas on how to organize my life and ALL of these things I'm doing ALL. AT. ONE. TIME. LOL!

Establishing a good routine now will be helpful. Once you start the nursing courses, the clinical time will also have to be added into the equation. I recommend being honest to yourself about how much you can do in addition to your studies and everyday parenting duties. Nursing school won’t last forever!
A last thought is to find out if anybody in your classes has children about the age of yours. If so, you could study together while the kiddos play!
I wish you the best as you work towards becoming a nurse!
