Yes I have considered night school but my man works hours are crazy its days where he gets off at 5pm then there is other days where he gets off at 3am so that would be hard for me to do night school. I would ask my mother but she has done alot n she works overnight, her husband got laid off so she works extra hours to make up for his part n i know she is tired so i don't wanna put that on her.

Online school is another option. Just be very careful to pick an accredited institution. The PELL grant will help with finances.

You are welcome mesha.
Most nursing schools require clinical hours doing rotations in various health settings.
Don't let that discourage you. D o the stuff you can online, all the of the pre-requisites and when your kids are old enough you can finish the rest.

They are doing great my 7 yrs old is in dam camp my 4 yrsold is in daycare and my 2 youngest are in daycare /school and my step-daughter is in Florida with her uncle. I am really happy with the school that my 2 youngest go to bcuz my now 10 months old has learned to crawl very well and he is interacting with babies his age and my 2yrs old is having a hard time bcuz he doesnt like it when we drop him off but he loves it there i think he wants mommy and daddy to stay there all day but we cant. My 4yrs old sometimes likes his daycare provider but sometimes doesnt bcuz he is by himself bcuz the place where my 2 youngest go didnt have room for him 
n my 7 yrs old loves camp. i am enoying school but sad to say it endsthis week cuz it was a trade school but it was a great learning experience bcuz i now know that i can go to college full-time n not have n e worries so once i have this baby i gonna go to college
