Job during Nursing school

Published

I was just curious of what jobs people are working or what jobs they worked while attending nursing school. I am currently working at an amusement park here in Tampa Florida. However, it does not pay enough.

Sounds like a lot more fun than some of the jobs I had. Those jobs included wedding photographer, photography assistance, developing all the film for the campus photo lab, housekeeping for the campus visitor center including turning rooms around, waitress, bartender, lab assistant and I paid for room and board by assisting an elderly couple with light housekeeping, errands and chores in return for a room in their home.

I'm not in actual nursing school yet - just pre-reqs. I currently have 3 jobs and work 60+ hours a week (I'm stockpiling any extra money for nursing school). My plan is to wait tables on weekends (no other jobs). Currently I can make about $150 per shift and I can pay my mortgage and monthly expenses if I can work 2-3 shifts a week. I'm hoping this works out - otherwise I don't know how I'll make it through school!!
