How do I tell my boss I want to change from full to part-time?

Published

I started working my first nursing job this past June. I have my ADN and I am working on my BSN. My plan has always been to pursue my Master's degree. I am wanting to move from full time hours (3 12-hr shifts a week) to part-time hours (2 12-hr shifts a week). This way, I could focus on school and get it done faster, as I would have more time to spare. I just don't know how to go about this or what my manager's reaction would be. Any advice?

I am in a similar situation. I told them that I would eventually need to go part time at time of hire, but every time I bring it up, they act like I will always stay full time. I have to give them notice soon too, so I will see how it goes!
