Starting hybrid classes now or later?

Question

I'm due May 24th and I'm deciding whether I should start classes April 6th or June 30th? I will be doing online and in class classes. I'm scared if I do it June 30th, I'll make excuses and won't do it. Then again, if I do April I'm scared I'll back out bc I'm overwhelmed with the baby or something. it's a 2 year program and it's something I really want to do, I'm just soo lost.

Answer

I'm starting nursing school in the fall when my baby girl will be a little over 3 months old. I decided not to take any classes while pregnant because I didn't want to miss any classes due to pregnancy or giving birth. I'm also using baby girl as my motivation for my classes in the fall, reminding myself that becoming a nurse is going to allow me to provide a better future for her.

Answer

I am taking a hybrid course now and I feel SO overwhelmed. But I new it would be harder with a 3 month old. So I’m trying to power through.

Answer

If you start in April, when does the semester end?

Answer

You need to be honest with yourself to help decide. Are you going to be able to focus more before the baby is born or after? I was suppose to start graduate school this semester but I wasn’t able to due to financial issues. I was stressed out and nervous to start. Now I’m starting in the fall and I feel so much better about that. Baby will be almost 3 months and I don’t have to worry about going into labor I’m class 😂. Ultimately it’s what you feel is best for you and baby!

Answer

This is such a tough question.  I was in grad school while having kids 2 & 3.  Kid 3 was born midway through my last semester (only 1 class left).
I knew it was risky, but it ended up being a very smart decision.  My son was a super easy newborn, but started getting frequent ear infections around 7 months which made him a more difficult older baby.  Plus I was on maternity leave after the baby was born, so not having to go to work also made it a workable solution.
I would personally try to get the class in before baby...but know if you have a good support system, you can do the class after baby if you feel that works better for you,
