working while in FNP school

Specialties NP

Published

I'm looking to start an FNP program next year and weighing my options: part-time vs fulltime. Ideally I'd go fulltime, but obviously finances and stress play into that.

What did you find worked best for you? Is it possible to work 24 hrs/week and go to school fulltime, and remain sane?

I work full time and go to school full time. If you really want to make it work u can do it I study every where lunch break at work, in the park with the kids, while I am waiting under the dryer at the hair dressers. I will be starting clinical next month still planning to work full time I will be switching to working four 10 hour shifts and going to clinicals 2 days a week

i plan to continue to work this upcoming fall semester f/t. i think it can be done, you will just have to sacrifice some things....social life. but the reward will be worth it...i hope at least :D
