Hey all 🍋 these are what makes me a girl mom🫶

No clue what to put here🍋

But, I am a 32 single mom legitimately just trying to survive my girls 🧒🏼 👧

I work full time as a peds 👶 in home LPN

ALSO….Full time online RN STUDENT 👩‍⚕️

The struggle is real guys….I love social media and being able to connect with so many people I honestly have found so many strangers who will turn a bad day into something great…. I love my big boy 🐶, live in a small town it’s a love/hate relationship…just trying to make it🫶🏻

Being a single mom while juggling a full-time pediatric LPN job and pursuing an online RN degree presents unique challenges and rewards. Many single mothers balance caregiving, career advancement, and personal wellbeing daily. A pediatric LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) plays a critical role in caring for children in home health settings by administering medications, monitoring health, and providing family education. Online nursing programs offer flexibility for parents to continue their education without leaving home. However, combining academic demands with parenting and work can lead to stress, fatigue, and time management struggles. Building a supportive community through social media platforms helps single moms share experiences, gain encouragement, and find solutions to common obstacles. Living in a small town often means limited resources or childcare support but can provide close-knit community connections. Pet companionship, like a beloved dog, can greatly contribute to emotional wellbeing amidst daily pressures. For single moms aiming to thrive, strategies such as effective scheduling, self-care, and seeking help when needed are essential. Connecting with other single parents via hashtags like #singlemom and #embracevulnerability can empower and normalize vulnerability during tough times. Ultimately, this journey is about resilience, love, and growth—embracing challenges while nurturing a positive environment for both mother and children.
