Hello to all. I'm currently working FT as a practical nurse. I'm debating whether I should go into a ASN or BSN granting program. I think it would be easier to work FT through an asn program, then earn a bachelors online. Nova is also a school i'm considering. On their website they posted that students are NOT encouraged to work since it is an intense program. Unfortunately, that's not a choice for many. Can anyone give any insight into the classroom/ clinical schedule? Will I be able to work my normal 3-11 shift?

Where I went and got my BSN it was a full-time job just to go to school. I did have a part-time restaurant job waiting on tables in a 4 star place and made good money only working weekends. Alas I think both programs are just as intense it's just that you go longer with the advanced degree. It also depends on your ability to be a good study or do you need extra time etc...

Everyone learns at a different level. If your a fast learner I think working part-time is definitely feasible but I had a toddler and needed to devote time to him as well so full-time work and school ewhhhhhh ... couldn't do it.

Also, you don't want your school experience to be one of drudgery and pain. I had a blast in school and I think it helped my grades to be not so pressured.

Good luck to you on your future nursing career.
