Going back to school??
He absaloutly loves me staying at home and i'm really enjoying it too, bonding with my kids is so important to us than having them in daycare. And since my husband makes enough to support us all and the house it's no worry for me to work just yet. But i went to Nursing School and Law school 5 years ago. I would have passed my law school had i not have been involved in an accident the day before exams and it also jeaperdized my nursing career aswell at the time.
I'm wondering if there are any other parent's out there who stayed at home and then went to school. With your kids in school how did your schedule work out, was the home and family life still balanced like before you worked? I won't do this until this 3rd one is in school but i'm scared after so long of not working or studying i will fail nursing, I feel my mind just isn't as sharp and quick as it used to be.
Answer:
I take several Blackboard classes (college via the inet).I will continue these until it is time for my to do my hands-on ones.It's a little bit slower process.Ambition,determination and my little loved ones gimme the support I need to get through =) good luck!
It will be hard... but you can do it.
Let me get this straight .
You went to nursing school AND law school 5 years ago.
You finished law school except for exams, and you had a career as a nurse.
You are 24.
This was 5 years ago, so you completed law school when you were 19.
Can't go to law school w/out undergrad, so 2 years law school plus 4 years undergrad, makes you 13 when you started college.
Hm...smart girl.
My friend goes to graduate school at night. She is exhausted every day.
i think you are a little confused
I'm with Duritzgirl on this...if what you stated above is indeed factual, you must be extremely intelligent and I must wonder why such intelligence isn't being used?
Go for it! Although your husband is providing enough income it's always a good idea to have a back-up plan. You might feel unsatisfied years from now without fulfilling the goals you had before becoming a mom. Also, continuing your education sets a good example to your children. I started taking online courses while at home caring for my children and I am currently a full time student working on my BA in Bio-Chemistry. My family is very proud of me and although it is a juggling act, I am very proud of myself. Don't be afraid to fail to the point that you never give it a try. It does get hectic at times and studying for exams will take priority over the housework but you'll be glad you went back to fulfill your goals in the end.
Honourable Rajneesh is recommending that you stay at home and take care of the children, and to continue to be a loyal dutiful wife.
I went back to school after my second child was born. I had worked as a pharmacist for 10+ years but didn't like it. When I quit my job, I knew I wanted to be home with my kids most of the time but not full time. School was a great option for me. I have taken 1 to 4 classes per semester. I set my schedule up so that my kids are at daycare for a minimal amount of time. I use to take Tues/Thurs classes and have the kids go to daycare 8am to 4pm. Now I take morning classes while my kids are at Montessori School from 8:30am to 11:30 am. I am a much better student now. I think I am more focused when I actually have time to study and I like what I am studying. Also, I'm more concerned about learning for the sake of learning so a lot of the anxieties I had the first time around are gone. As far as studying goes, I don't get any studying done when the kids are around (ages 2 & 3). I'm not a night person so I only do mindless work at night unless I have a big test or assignment; then I tend to go to a coffee shop or the library. I do most of my studying before or after class in the few hours my kids are at school. I would recommend starting with only one or two classes. Look into taking on-line or distance learning classes. At my school, the distance learning classes tend to be more intense but they are more flexible. Make sure you have your husband's support. Your going back to school will affect him as much as it affects you and the kids. I have found it to be well worthwhile. I'm planning to be done with school around the time my youngest enters kindergarten. I don't want to be away from them full-time until they are in school.
