Jobs while studying Nursing

Published

I have a BA Degree in Social Sciences Major in Social Anthropology - Minor in Political Science. What are the possible jobs that I can get into to help me pay my nursing classes? Can I work in the hospital? If so, what jobs are suited for me?

Thank you.

You can work as a CNA.

Do I have to attend training or classes to be a CNA? How much will it cost me?

Yup. My program required 90 hours of training and it cost roughly 1100. But this varies, based on your location.

Did you finish it in a month or more than? Can I take CNA classes while waiting for my green card?

After taking CNA training, what did you do? Did you take BSN/ADN?

I finished it in 2 weeks, but I had class monday-friday for basically the whole day. Once again this depends on your location and the type of program you find. Not sure about the second question, but I dont see why not?

Is it BSN? Where are you taking your classes? Around how much are your expenses? Any tips on how to pay for the entire program without having to be in debt with a huge amount of money.

This is hearsay... but i heard that after the first semester of nursing you can work as a CNA, after the second or third semester you can work as an LVN. of course not with exact licenses but the position in willing facilities. Not sure how valid this is. But i will definitely be looking into it myself.
