Like so many other working moms, many nurses struggle with balancing a busy schedule while raising kids. Finding quality childcare that’s also flexible can be a challenge. If you work irregular hours and long shifts, childcare options can be limited. Start with trusted family and friends and see if anyone is willing and able to help you out when you’re working a tough schedule. Take the time to find a few good babysitters who you can call when needed. Look into local daycare facilities and after-school care programs where kids can keep a regular schedule and make friends. Working out a good childcare system for your family can take time, but be creative and expand your network to broaden your options.
