Does your school discourage working?

Hey, so our school really discourages the students from working. It's kind of weird because how are we supposed to support ourselves? It's a fairly expensive program and I guess they expect us to survive by living off of someone else. They do this thing where we have 2 weeks In between semesters, and they don't give us our schedule for the semester until the first day of class, and since more than half of the class is working, it just causes extra stress because we don't have a scheulde to give our jobs to work around with any notice. We only have 8 months left, so I'm just going to suck it up and stick through

We don't recommend it, but as a community college its a given that most of our students have to support themselves, especially with the number of "older" students coming back for a delayed or a second degree.

But it can't be used as an excuse for not doing the work. We do our best to support students, but in the end, we are responsible for turning out well prepared graduates, nurses who are safe to take care of patients. "I had to work last evening" is not an excuse for a paper you've known about since the beginning of the semester.
