It is 110% possible and the best thing is you will have your sisters there to support you. I know MANY MANY MANY DGs who were/are nursing majors, both long ago and today. Look into the local scholarship that was mentioned, talk to your Chapter Advisor about other scholarships or low/no interest loans, and then put you "thinking cap" on. As a DG, I'm sure you've come across a ton of creative (and fun) ways to raise money for a good cause. See if you can't think of a way to fundraise for your new cause--YOU! Schedule-wise, yes you will be busy, but so are your sisters with full-time jobs, take a look around and see how they do it. 10-to-1 says they will have some great tips for you. #1: invest in a good dayplanner--and use it! #2: Rest whenever you get the chance, you can't afford to throw exhaustion or illness into the mix. Snaps to you for being proactive and planning ahead! Congrats on getting into nursing!

Thank you so much, DGwithagrey!

No problem, hon! Feel free to PM me if you need some encouragement or advice. I was not a nursing major, but my sophomore roommate, and my best friend were (and were both DGs and VERY active). Plus, sometimes, you just need a cheering section. :-) That's what us moms are for.

Bumping because I wanted to know how AtomicFlowers is doing!! I've thought about her often, and was hoping she survived nursing school and wanted to see how she's doing!
Anyone know?
