Thinking about being a nurse mom

Please no rude comments just looking for helpful information from real life people. Wondering how nurse moms make it work? I’ve been going to school for Elementary Education but am often faced with how depressing and awful it is to go into teaching (etc). So I have all my nursing pre req done with an A in every class. I worked as a patient care tech and have hospital/hospice care experience. I just wonder if the schedule is great for a single mom. My kids are my everything and being involved and everything as much as possible in their lives is #1 for me. How do you guys feel about the 12 hour hospital shifts? Just looking for how real life mamas make it work. Thanks in advance!! 🙂
