Which path to take to become an RN?Rating: (votes: 0) Just my 2 cents - but if you take a less intensive educational route, it is certainly possible to accomplish both goals (baby & degree) at the same time. There are a lot of AN'ers who can attest to this. I haven't seen any research on this specific issue, but there's no evidence that pregnancy impairs brain function. One nursing student even told me reading study materials aloud was a sure fire way to soothe her baby to sleep... maybe it was just boredom - .I know that a lot of people are incurring mega-loans for nursing school, but it just doesn't make financial sense in terms of the ROI. Raising kids is expensive - been there, ... still there!!! Chaining yourself to that much debt is very scary, especially when (thanks to legislative changes) loan repayment will always have to be prioritized over spending money on your family. |
