burnt out

[alwayzaminata]

Hello everyone! So I'm just looking for advice I guess. I am a full time RN student and I think im in trouble. Im doing really well in the program but I feel like I cant focus that well because of bills. I drive and hour everyday to get to school. Im paying all my bills and rent by myself and I have no assistance. Ive exhausted student loans and grants for this program without any type of disbursement. I work 6 days a week as a server and bartender trying to make as much money as I can to keep up with my bills and my car. I wake up at 630am mon-fri to get to school on time and I go to work right after school till about midnight. I stay up til about 2,3 am to finish homework or study for tests/quizzes. Weekends Im working 12 hours each day. Im already exhausted of doing this everyday and I still have a year left. I dont really have a choice in cutting down my hours as much as I have anymore because I cant afford it. If I dont go to work, Ill be forced to drop out the program. This is my dream and Im so close this time but I dont want to be burnt out. Dont really know what to do at this point.

yeah ive been trying to look for a roommate but im just trying to stick it out until my lease is over in june and then I can move in with someone. I really dont want to give up now because I'm so close. Thank you for your advice. Im going to try the debt consolidation when my lease is up.

Im an avid couponer so I've cut down on my groceries a lot and I've been selling clothes, shoes and anything in my house that I no longer have use for. Really trying to cut down as much as I can.

Good luck! If worst comes to worst you could sell your possessions- couch, tv, any jewelry maybe you don't wear? But you can do this! Things will feel a lot different a year from now. But after sacrificing so much time, energy, and money to come this far, you can't stop! You have put too much hard work into this. There's got to be a way! I am sorry you have to deal with this..
