should i give up online MSN?

Published

I have to maintain 2 jobs..full time M-F 8-3 and weekends for part time ..im so confused if i wanna go for traditional classroom instruction which i can do after work at least taking one subject at a time for my MSN...class meets once a week.....i am single but i am afraid that I might get burned out if classroom has more physical demands and concentration compared to online...i just think that classroom would be less stressful for me since id get support from classmates and find out how others are coping as well....im also very good at oral presentations..im just stressed out nwith online sometimes because of the deadlines and i feel kinda isolated and most of my friends prefer classroom as well....any ideas? thanks...

How long has it been since you were OUT of school?

While I certainly think you should continue on, maybe you need a semester off to relax a bit, and have a life.

Its been 12 years but im a nursing instructor eversince too....i just hate the process of figuring out yourself the things that need to be done on an asisgnment...no immediate feedback from instructor....although online also allows me to continue working two jobs....

Do you really get immediate feedback when you need it in a classroom that meets only once a week? Do you really have that much live contact with your fellow students meeting once a week? Are there no deadlines in the classroom setting?

Is getting an MSN online really easier than classroom and going to allow you so much free time?

I'm in an online program and I can tell you right now it is a ton of homework and reading. Unless you go without sleep I don't see how you could do all the reading properly and get the assignments in on time. Now this is just me, so you may be more organized and together than I am (although that wouldn't be hard...) but I work 3 12 hour day/week and basically I am either working or doing schoolwork. Anything else I am stealing time from meals or sleep to do. I.e. it's 1 am here na dI should be asleep.
