I did my nursing and mid years ago pre kids but am currently studying Postgraduate Diploma of Nursing Science in Child, Family and Community. I started in feb this year when DS1 was 2 and 1/2 and DS2 was 1 year old. I am studying part time and its still full on lots of work and placements. They go to CC 1 day a week while I do placements and occasional care 5 hrs a week to allow me time to do modules and essays, other than that I have to do work 2200 until 0100 as DS2 is a shocking sleeper. My family live 2 and 1/2 hrs away and both my parents still work mu does nights. In laws I would not use to watch kids as both kids are very full on and active and I would not be comfortable.

My course is mainly distance ed with 3 compulsory days start of each semester this year and 4 voluntary tutes during the semester.
