Can I succeed

Hello. I am currently in school taking pre-req's for nursing. I have this huge fear I won't succeed because I have to work fulltime in order to pay my bills. I work in a doctors office and have no idea where I would work as I go to school and still have decent pay for my bills. Is it possible to sit for my CNA and still maintain home life on this salary? Nursing is my passion so I really want to do this! Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I work close to full time and I'm 2 semesters from completing my BSN. Can you do it? I don't know, can it be done? Absolutely.

    Thanks Malenurse69, That's awesome. At the community college I go to they have an ADN program. I was going to apply to that one as well as the BSN program and see which one accepts me first. Is it hard for you to find time to study.

    It's not hard in a traditional sense, you will definitely have time, however you will find that you'll be sacrificing a lot of extra time you'd have for family, friends, yourself etc.. to study and get the school work done. If you consider sacrificing free time "hard", then yes, it's extremely difficult. However, you learn to roll with the punches and time does fly when you're busy all the time.

    it's doable if you are highly motivated. I had a classmate that was working full-time night shifts while also going to school full time. She'd go to work in the evening at 10pm and get off at 7:30am and come straight to class, yet she was able to graduate as a top student with ~3.9 GPA. Of course it's really difficult, it requires a lot of commitment and prioritization. You might not have time to enjoy with your friends or family, but that's just some of the sacrifices you'd have to make if you really want this.
