[QUOTE="km3, post: 2103506, member: 56117"] Not from what I've seen. My mom was single when raising me, and she was a nurse. She never had trouble supporting the two of us, but she worked at night, on-call, and during the day sometimes. 12-hour shifts were not unusual. It may be the case that things have changed a lot since back then, but I know nurses now who have crazy schedules and often difficulty finding childcare during their work hours. You definitely have a lot to think about. I'd personally recommend trying to find some nurses who would be willing to sit down and tell you what it's like. Try to talk to one from a few different hospitals (assuming that you live in a city with more than one). Don't make a hasty decision based on things you've heard. That goes for what I've said, as well. Just a little bit, but it's not a big deal. I'd consider going to nursing school if that were an available option for me at this point in my life. I'd probably lean more towards the police academy or fire academy, though. As for UPS...I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing here. Drivers seem to have a love-hate relationship with their job. UPS management cracks the whip like no other company I've seen before. [/QUOTE]
