Do you plan on working while in nursing school?

Right now I work and go to school at night and my husband is a stay-at-home dad. But when I start nursing school - the plan is he's going to have the be the bread winner. That scared the heck out of me!!!

So are you planning on working while in nursing school - or is someone else going to support you?

My fiance will be supporting me so I can fully focus on NS. I don't think I'd be able to handle the stress of work, school, and most importantly, my child.

I plan to work in the per diem CNA pool at the local hospital. That way, If I need more time for my studies, I take my name out of the hat.

Yes, I will be working fulltime during NS but my current job is in a call center and I can study between calls. I'm trying to decide whether to work as a CNA during NS but the study time would be the problem. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Re: Do you plan on working while in nursing school?

Yes, I plan on working during nursing school. I am starting my pre-reqs this quarter and hoping for Fall 2009 admission. Thankfully, I only have to worry about myself, no kids and no marriage, and have a pretty decent job right now that I can support myself with. Working full time is not going to be fun or easy while going to NS, but it's something Iv'e gotta do.

yes, but I work nights Friday thur Monday at a call center with a very LOW call (m)

volumne and we can do whatever we want in between calls, including read, study, talk on cell phone, even watch online shows or movies.

I currently am fulltime, but if it gets to be too much I will ask to switch to part time for sure and just work 2 days a week. It would hurt a little financially but would definately be doable!

I will be working full time. I am working lots of OT right now to pay my bills off so I can cut my hours down when I do not have a choice. I am lucky enough to have a job where I can study at work.

I don't plan on working while in NS. I give kudos to those who do..I know it must be tough to balance everything!
