Living expense loan while in nursing school?

Published

Have any of had to do this for nursing school?

how did you manage work and school?

All these schools say that you are unable to work full time while attending the programs, well how do they expect people especially with all the career changers now a days to support themselves?

My student loan for grad school went mostly to day care (baby #1 born 6 weeks before classes began). Tuition and books were a lot less than that. :)

Made last loan payment when baby #2 was 6 years old (born four months after I defended my thesis, when baby #1 was 2 yrs, 9 months old).

I disregarded this advice and worked full-time throughout my nursing school experience, as did the majority of my classmates. I graduated with honors, which disproves the notion that everyone's grades suffer when they attempt to juggle full-time employment with full-time schooling.

i use all the loans and grants offered to me for this reason. I have to have the money for daycare... or i couldn't pay for it.
