Help ....need suggestions!

Hi everyone,

I need suggestions please!!!! I have finally completed all my pre-req and was accepted into the nursing program for Sept. But now I am at a crossroads, which I knew was coming, but hoping I would have a plan in place before now.

Nursing was to be a 2nd career for me, however I do need to work atleast part time while in school.(single mom of two boys - 18yr and 14yr)

How do people make it through nursing school without working? Am I missing something? We are all not straight out of high school...lol

Does anyone know of positions that are generally held by students at hospitals or rehabs?

Can you get student loans to cover living expenses?

This is a career move that I have waited a long time to make and now I feel like I am stuck..If I have to quit after getting thru the pre-req., passing the Net and Chemistry, and being accepted into a program... I am going to be deeply saddened.

How does everyone do it?? Any suggestions, greatly appreciated!

    Depending on the type of student you are and your study habits, it is possible to work and go to school. A friend of mine has two children (3yr and 4yr) and has a full time job and goes to school evenings. I will be starting school this fall and have 2 children myself and my husband will be deployed so I have my hands full. I plan on working part time but because I know the kind of work load I can handle I think it will work out. I would say try one semester not working (if you can afford it) and see how you feel about the program and if you could handle working.
