Do colleges hesitate to let you in if you work FT?

[nurse34]

I was reading this book last night and it gave me the impression that colleges are somewhat hesitant to let you in if you work a full time job. Is this true? I work full time and plan on doing an evening program at a local CC but my job will allow time for me to read and that sort of thing. Plus, I have 4 weeks vacation and I get every other friday off. I looked at my application and it does ask you if you work and if so, how many hours? I'm kind of scared to put that I work full time! What has been your experience with this? TIA!

When I went to nursing school, I was working 60 hours a week. and was on call 24/7/52

Wow!!! I'm impressed!!! It's good to hear success stories like that! If I waited until I didn't have to work.........I'd be retired! That is just not an option and I'm tired of putting off my nursing degree so I'm just going to bite the bullet and pray real hard!
