Did you work full time while going to school?

Haven't worked full-time, mainly just overtime.

Anywhere between 42-65 hours a week.

Part time :)

10 hours a week FILING

I worked during the summer as a nurse tech, but did not work at all during school. I do not think I could have managed working, school was way too demanding. I pretty much lived on student loans and money I made during the summer. Oh and I had NO LIFE while in school. :/

I've worked full-time since graduating high school 10 years ago. During the first half of nursing school, I worked as a CNA to get experience in a medical setting. There's very little money in that; so, the second half of nursing school, I worked as a deputy dispatcher/jailer at a sheriff's department (my previous schooling and experience was in criminology/corrections).

I've worked full-time while doing all my pre-reqs (frosh/sophomore year of college).. but I'll either be finding a different part-time job or quitting work altogether this fall when I enroll in nursing classes.

I will still probably work during the summer, though.

Part-time -- mostly 24, but up to 32 hours per week.

i worked a little while in nursing school. my last summer before graduation, i worked in a nursing home as a CNA....wow, what a hard job. I learned alot.

Worked PT as an LPN while going to nursing school FT. It 's too hard when you've got little kids, working part time was hard enough.

I worked 30 hours/wk through most of nursing school; cut back to 20 hrs my last semester. No kids but I did get married my first semester of classes (that was stupid; I should have planned it for the summer!)

I graduated last May and I'm STILL getting used to "just" working. Free time- gotta love it!

Good morning,

I started my nursing career working as a psych tech for an adolescent psychiatric hospital. After noticing that I did everything the nurses did (so I thought) and received a third of the monies that they did, that prompted me to go to school for my RN. I worked at noc (still do), went to school during the day and slept in the afternoon. Raised 5 kids.......what choice did I have?

Now I'm planning to go after my MSN, so back to the grind for me. Fortunately, my kids are all self sufficient now and have a "domestic goddess" wife that takes care of all the in-home stuff.
