Should I Let My Mom Raise My Son?

Right now I just got out of school for nursing and I am planning to go back to be an RN. I have 2 kids and i’m engaged so I have help with the kids but my mom asked if my son can go live with her. She said she feels lonely cause me and my sisters are not around anymore and we are older. We don’t live that far from each other and she said I will still be his mom and get to see him and pick him up whenever I want. I know that being a RN is a full time commitment and I won’t have that much time for either of my children, but I feel like if he stays with her that it will make me a bad mother or that he will think I don’t care or him. My son is going to be 4 and is very attention needy and I know that my mom will take great care of him, but I’m not sure if it’s the right thing to do. I just want what’s best for him, I want him to be happy and I know that he adores his grandparents very much. Can anyone give me a little advice?
