I want to go back to school.. but

I really have been wanting to go back to school but I have an 8 month old at home that I would feel so much mom guilt if I were to work and go to school and barely have any time for him.

Currently my work hours are so wishy washy right now but I have been looking into going back to school for nursing. I currently am a Medical Assistant and I feel that nursing or being a MD is calling my name right now. I’ve always loved the idea of helping people since I was young.

I want to do an accelerated program for nursing but I am stuck as far as what to do or if I should just wait?

Navigating the journey back to school as a mother can be daunting, especially for those considering nursing programs. Many potential nursing students experience similar feelings of guilt and uncertainty when weighing educational pursuits against family commitments. Research shows that pursuing a nursing degree while managing childcare can be a viable option with proper planning and support. Options like online classes or part-time programs provide flexibility that accommodates parental responsibilities. Networking with fellow mothers in nursing school can also help foster a supportive community, aiding in the emotional and academic journey. Additionally, potential financial aid and scholarships for mothers returning to school can relieve some financial pressures, making this path more accessible. It's essential to consider one's mental health and self-care during this time. Taking breaks, discussing feelings of guilt with peers, or seeking professional guidance might alleviate pressure. Remember that your aspirations are valid, and many have successfully balanced motherhood while achieving their educational goals. Whatever decision you make, ensure it's aligned with your personal values and your family's needs.
