Hello,
I am a professor of nursing. First, what level of nursing are you going into...RN, LVN, CNA? All have different time requirements for completion, which is a consideration. I have taught for many years at all levels and degrees and have been a dept chair and a dean. Students will come in with many personal challenges while in school and I have seen most make it through. JoJo is your baby, I would never nor have I known anyone that would ever suggest giving up their children to make it easier to go to school. It is an adjustment, a challenge, but having someone there that is not connected with classes or patients is very important. I think fostering while you are adjusting to being in school and the rigor may be a good idea, but I would love to see that he is back with you as soon as possible. He will actually help you through. Again depending on the program, you will be in class/clinicals during the week, but you also will have a lot of study time and JoJo can sit with you during all of that reading and give you that much needed break with hugs and kisses
Again, this is just my thoughts on your situation. You are welcome to PM me if you would like to talk about what nursing school is like...it is a wonderful profession.
