Yes I plan on working, unless congress gets into gear and passes the New G.I.Bill Amendment. If that happens, then I will have to weigh my options, but as of now, I do not have a choice in the matter.

God Bless,

Depends. Right now i think I will work a part time. This summer before i go to college i want to utilize my CNA liscence that i will get to make SURE that this is what i want.

Whether it is a regular job or a work-study job, I plan to work at least PT during NS.

I am also working and going to school I have six kids, what works for me is having good resources and save when I can from my job now for when I do start my internship. Doing this will teach you how to save money and you will have a dino egg to fall back on.

No I will not be working. I have been told that I can expect to be in school or at clinicals between 4 and 5 days a week. Then on Sundays we have to go to our clinical site and pick up stuff for the week. In addition there will be homework, and clinical stuff to prepare. I have three kiddos and I just don't think I could work.

I am hoping to not have to work if possible. I'll be starting right after my husband finishes college (if I get in the semester I'm planning on) and if he gets a good job, I'll hopefully not work. If he gets an okay job, I'll see about going part time.

Yep, I have to work. The family is on my health insurance. And luckilly my school is restructuring the nursing program to accomodate people like me that have to work their way through school. This way I'll only have to take 1 day off from work and leave a lil early 2 other days to do clinical at night. And I think other schools may follow suit. I think the school realized that in liu of the nursing shortage something had to be done. And they realize that the majority of their applicants aren't straight out of high school kids. Most are adults who have other pressing responsibilities like work and family to consider while trying to pursue their nursing degree. This restructuring is going into effect this fall and should be in full swing when I start NS in fall 09 (if I get in). So hang in there all those who have to work and want to study nursing. You never know what opportunities may arrive.

I will not be working while in NS BUT to do so, we have decided to move back in with parents to save $$ and pay for school. My husband is very supportive and its a TEMPORARY sacrifice that will worth it in the end! Thats what I keep telling myself b/c ughhhh I dont know! lol

[hladawn]

Oh yes I'll be working through it but I work at a hotel (front desk) so when the guests stay away I get to study!! But it will still be tough

[Csantos]
