nursing is calling, but have young children

Hi. I am seriously considering a second career in nursing, however I fear being able to balance nursing school and first year nursing with a family. I have been staying home for 5 years with my children and feel strongly that I need to go into nursing, despite guilty feelings about leaving my children ( 3 and 5) and husband. Any advice? Has anyone pursued nursing under similar circumstance? Advice? Any regrets? Thanks in advance for your time.

Does your local Community College have child care? If so, you could take a few of the prerequisites at a time, and know your children are close by.
