Jobs worked while in NS

Hi All! I am new here and I am looking to do what I have always wanted and return to school for Nursing. I have a bachelor's degree in Accounting and Business and am taking me pre-requisites so hopefully if accepted will only have to complete my nursing courses.

My current job is being relocated in the next two years so I am depending on severance and some savings to help me through the financial toll of going back to school. I am already leaving a well paying job to follow this dream (70k per year) and will have to work while in school since I have a house and other bills. Since there are no evening RN programs currently in the Charlotte area, I will have to attend school in the day. I was just wondering what jobs people have worked while in school that fit in with their school schedule? Is there anyone like me who is doing a total career change and trying to get work too that might have some advice?

Sorry to be long winded....this is just something I have been wanting to do for about 5 years now and I am hoping that as rough as it is to have your job go away, it may be the opportunity I have been looking for to make this happen. Thanks all and would love to hear from others in the same boat!

Jobs I've done when I was in nursing school:

1. CNA

2. Medical transcriptionist

3. Unit clerk

All involve some shift work which would work for you in your position. None, unfortunately are going to pay $70k - however the experience will be priceless.

Thanks traumaRUs! I had not even thought about a Unit Clerk. I know I will make nothing near what I do now even when I graduate but hope to come as close to making ends meet in the meantime as possible. Thanks again!

I'm currently working as a Respiratory Therapist while I complete my pre-reqs for NS. I work full-time and take classes part-time. I work at nights and go to school during the day. Once I have been accepted to NS I will probably change my working status to part-time or PRN. It is hard, but I'm determined. I also have bills and a mortgage to pay. Good luck to you.
