ASN to MSN

What are my fellow nurses thoughts on going from an ASN to a MSN while working part time?

A lot of it will depend on your personality and support system. I completed a BSN to MSN program, including a final semester practicum portion, while working more than full time. I did rely on a cleaning service that came once a month for the deeper cleaning, sacrificed time with family (single at the time and no kids, so it was more extended family), used a meal service, and had very supportive coworkers who would help me out with switching or covering call for me.

I'm currently enrolled in a part-time MSN program while working full-time as an RN house supervisor. I'd rather work full-time instead of part-time because I enjoy having extra money to sock away while paying for my coursework by the semester.

Thank you!!! I appreciate your thoughts!!! I like the extra cash also but didn't want to get myself into more than I could handle.

Those are excellent points you make. Thanks for your input.

I'm currently working full time while in a DNP program. I don't have kids, but I'm supporting my husband who is in CRNA school. I haven't had a problem yet, and we start clinical at the same time so we won't see each other much, but it makes us really good at studying and time management. It all depends on your own motivation, learning methods, program and support system.
