Banner Nurse fellows program and working?

[oakandruby]

Just wondering if anyone is in the Banner Nurse fellows program or knows someone who is, and is still able to keep a job. For instance, I am working as a nanny 3 days a week, would that be possible to continue in that program? Thank you

I think that as long as your schedule doesn't conflict with the nanny schedule then anything is possible. But I have heard from others on this site that working is extremely hard in an accelerated program or just a nursing program in general. But I do know people that work and go to school and it is very hard on them. Are you in the program?

Hello,

I am in the Nurse Fellows program and working full time. It is a challenge, but it can be done.

Most of my classmates find it difficult to work full time and get all of the reading and studying done but there are a few who do both and do it VERY WELL!!! I think a lot of it comes to serious time management and how good you are at reading tons quickly and understanding some pretty dry material at times. I also think it is critical that you attend every lecture that is where a majority of reinforcement of the material comes from. Best of luck!!!
