I'm applying for a WHNP program for this fall!!!! I actually graduate w/ my bsn in a couple of wks & will be working FT on pp. So, i will be going PT to grad school. I'm so excited about the prospect. Now, I just have to get in!

If you get a job where you only work 3 days a week you may be able to attend grad school full time and get done faster.
There are 5-6 of us on my unit and we all work full-time and school full-time. 2 of us graduated.

Oh esp. if you work night shift, a lot of times you have extra time to read and study. At least on my unit you do. not in winter and not always, but it works out okay.

I'm curious, where are you applying? I've been accepted into Emory University's WHNP program for this fall. I haven't heard from many of us in that type of program.

Good luck to you, by the way!

i think i want to at least take my first year of nursing & grad school easy. on top of grad school & FT work i want to work on my spanish (used to be fluent when i was a kid but then i moved away from my spanish-speaking family so i sound like a 2yr old speaking it now!). Also, i have to work every other w/e & they're short-staffed so i'll prob get called in a lot. i'll prob do a heavier load after my 1st yr.
i have a Q, how do you handle daytime clinicals & working night shifts?
