Commute

Published

Anyone else have to commute to their nursing school?

I'll be starting a BSN program this summer at a school 60 miles from my house. I can see that getting old REALLY quick, but it's not logical for me to move since all my (very supportive) family is here, as well as a rent-free house. :)

Specializes in Float Pool, ICU/CCU, Med/Surg, Onc, Tele.

50 miles each way, 5 days a week. Books on tape are my friend. :roll Luckily I get good grades without needing to listen to the lecture, because our lectures are (quite honestly) worthless... AND I'd get sick and tired of nursing topics if I had to listen at school AND during the commute AND do homework when at home. The first year I had a carpool buddy, which made the ride much more interesting... then she "got married on me" and moved closer to the school so I've been commuting alone this year. Here are my utter favorite book on tape sites, if you're interested.
