Problem
Vicki is a single mom of two young boys. She has been stressed lately because she is tired of working two jobs just to make ends meet. She has decided to go back to college because she wants to become a nurse; however, she states that she is "flustered on where to begin." She also tells you that she is worried about the time commitment and making sure her sons are taken care of. Both boys are in school during the day, but she feels like they are too young to stay home alone for her to take evening classes. She does report that her mother, the boys' maternal grandmother, lives near them and has offered to watch her sons in the evenings if Vicki needs her to.
