I don’t know how competitive it is to get into a nursing program.

Do you need good grades?

I would drop the class for now.

I am assuming this is community college. Are you young? Were you a teen mom?

If you don’t have a degree and not earning a high income, I would consider going into debt and going to school full time.[/quote]

Quite competitive with a limited number of spots, a 2.0 GPA is the minimum, which means I would need to get at least 73-76% in my pre-requisites. I'm sitting at about a 3.3GPA, but not doing well in chemistry. I still have 3 more courses to go.

It's a community college course. I'm 34, I graduated with a bachelors in social work in 2014 but didn't take any math or science courses at all, it has never been my forte. I've been in my field for over a decade and earn ~110K as a supervisor. I had my son when I was 29.[/quote]

Nursing is not a better paying job unless you become a nurse practitioner.

Do you have family close by? You need help to do this.

I have a friend who is doing her prerequisites for nursing but she is a SAHM. Even without a job, she is finding it difficult to study and do all her work while kids are out of the house as she can’t get anything done when kids are in the house. She has 2 kids, not just 1. Like you, she majored in a non science and very rusty. I think her husband takes the kids on weekends so she can study.

Can your husband give you at least one full day to sfudy?[/quote]

wtf - could she beg her husband to give her time to study? Why doesn’t he see this  unsustainable situation?

Why isn’t he finding HIS child childcare from 3 until he can pick the kid up, why isn’t there a conversation about how to manage things that affect both of them - like dinner

I love how women come here to ask how to function when there is another adult at home who can do things besides exist.

Oh please honey could you babysit your child and order pizza on Saturday so I can study.
