Is working part time do-able with these classes?

Yes, although I would suggest against it if science is very hard for you. Biology was easy for me. That's the only class, that I see on there, that would be any cause of reconsideration. Just think about it and make sure you are able to handle this whilst making as many A-grades as you can. Nursing school is EXTREMELY competitive. I have seen those with a 3.9 GPA rejected from several programs that they applied to.

In my high school bio I got 99.4%, but that is high school, not college.

I don't have a need to work, which is what makes this somewhat difficult for me. I'm lucky and my parents are paying for everything, but I want experience. I want to get my foot in the door and network.

I think I may have to cut hours in my spring semester tho. I have Organobiochemistry and Microbiology. Labs and lectures. AHHH!! I'm fairly good at science classes, at least in high school I was.

Well that's great. I think you can do it. You'll just be a busy bee!

Well thank you!

I think I'm going to just apply for it, I mean this hospital is 5 minutes from my college and there are 2 other colleges in town, so I'm sure they are familiar with nursing students being CNAs and understand how schedules go.

Oh yeah definitely! It's very common, actually. Good Luck. If, at any time, you feel it's too much, just cut back your hours! :)

Honey, you should be fine! I know many people with schedules like yours (including myself) that have done it no problem. One good tip I can offer is utilize breaks between classes for some extra study time if you can. Even just a few extra minutes a day adds up.

It is doable if you put your mind to it. I took pharmacology, biological anthropology, medical terminology, healthcare ethics, human nutrition, and patient care skills (nursing course) while holding a full time 40 hr a week job and ended up with a 3.95 GPA (18 credit hours) so anything is possible if you dedicate yourself.

I am 22 yrs old and i work 48 hours a week and go to school full time. I working 2 jobs..24 hrs at each a week. and i must say having 24 hrs a week at one of my jobs and being able to get all my school work and study time in while being there has been very benificial....if i worked full time at my other job which is at a hotel..i sure as hell wouldnt be able to pull off the 3.6 gpa :]

so its' doablee ! i do it .

Thanks guys!

A little update, I have an interview at a local hospital for a PCT in the ED, so I'm fairly excited! They know that I'm a student, or atleast they should if they looked at the online app, so I'm going to be fairly upfront that my school comes first.

AHHH!!! I'm pretty pumped
