I know there was a similar thread a while back but I think most were pre-pharm students. Any pharmacy students out there with children? When do you find time to study? My hero *Roxicet* is a superMom! I don't know how she does it with two kids. I don't even have time to study for the PCAT now that I have a 2 month old son!

Hi Lori! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I sent you an email.

Hi Lori,
Congratulations!

I am P1 and have a 10 month old daughter. It is definately challenging to be studying and being a mom at the same time. I do most of studying during the night when my daughter is asleep or in school when I don't have classes. Basically any free moment that I get. I generally get about 2-3 hours sleep on midterm days but that's true of many students in my class. Although challenging, it is doable! I imagined it to be worse than it is. Although if you ask me the same question on a midterm day, I might have a different answer. 😉

I completely admire Roxicet for raising two children while studying.

We have lots of parents in my class. Many of them have young children. A woman actually had a baby last month and she managed not to miss any exams.

It's all about finding time. I have an 18 year old at home, but my husband is the one who requires the attention.

Thank you Shal & thanks for the replies. I am going to apply and see what happens. If I don't do it now I'm going to keep putting it off.

My husband is in the military and will be going to Iraq for a year. He won't be back until January 2006. After reading Dana's reply I thought I better do it now because I'm going to have to take care of two instead of one. My husband is the same way!

Shal do you have someone - a relative who watches your child when you are away at school or when you are studying? I was wondering how to properly manage one's time with children around.
Congrats Lori!

I used watercolors on my son (4) to study muscles and I "write and recite" mechanisms to my daughter (10). My older 2 just stay far away or I tell them things like milk is sweat and they leave quickly.

But I am not in pharm school yet. I am not sure how 18 hour semesters are going to work. I think I will have to "abandon" the family and work at the library more to avoid interuptions. 🙁
