I was laid off from my job, I have a BS in Business. I have some general ed. credits, so I'm hoping that I can get the rest of my prerequisites completed and start up in the Associates program at a local community college next fall. I'm totally new to the medical field so any advice is welcome.
My concern right now is: how many hours will I be able to work while attending school? I figure weekends will be fine, at least. Has anyone else worked during their nursing program? I'm married with an 11 year old son.
I work full time, have a family and go to school. It can be done, but you have to be willing to give certain things up and stay focused on school. It's difficult at times, but worth it in the end.

Thanks everyone for your input so far. It's funny how some of you mention that being busy helps you stay focused. I think that's true for me, too.
It's sort of a bad time to be a new graduate right now, hopefully things will pick up soon.
