Any advice for me attending Lone Star College Kingwood?

Published

I am a 20 yr old female who is finally going back to college after two years to focus on my finances. I have bought a house with my boyfriend and we are both working full time. I work a 7-5/7-3 job as a kennel technician. I occasionally work 2 or 3-9. I am in a situation where I need at least 30-40 hrs a week to afford my bills.

However..obviously nursing is hard..and every advisor has told me to quit my job. How lenient is the nursing program at kingwood? Will they allow me to attend lectures online or access them online through a recording of the lecture? I am so nervous because I can not afford not to work..and lone star is the closest college to me that I would be ok to commuting to. HCC is 45 minutes away with normal traffic let alone rush hour traffic, accidents, etc. is the LSC kingwood nursing program good? How many times a week do I actually have to attend class?

So I was recently accepted into the nursing program at Kingwood and start classes next month. I work a full time job from 7-3:30 and chose this program because it seems to cater more to the working adult. They have the option to take either morning or evening classes and weekday or weekend clinicals. Once you are accepted you can request Saturday clinicals and at the orientation session you request morning or afternoon class. I received my schedule last week and have class on Monday 5-7:20 and Tuesday 5-9:20. My clinicals are on Saturdays from 6:30-4:30. I don't think the program will allow you to attend remotely but only having class twice a week helps a lot. I know a lot of the other programs have class all week which is why I couldn't do them.
