New job, accelerated nursing program, AHHHH!

Published

I found out two weeks ago that I was accepted into SELU's accelerated nursing program-yayy! The same day I had an interview for an ER Tech job at Ochsner. Well, today I was offered the job and I had nursing school orientation.

I'm feeling SO overwhelmed! The schedule for this summer is NUTS. I'm so excited about this job, but this is the first time I've been left wondering if I will be able to do all of this.

I also have two small kids.....

I know I will work it out, but I'm just freaking out a little bit right now.

Am I crazy to attempt all of this?

Specializes in NICU.

Sounds like it will be pretty hectic! Congrats on the job and getting in to nursing school! I have an interview tomorrow for an ER tech position, different hospital though. I'm also currently in my third semester of SELU's nursing program. Any idea about when you start your job? That's exciting!

New hire orientation is the last week in April. It's the only one I can go to because it's a 3 day orientations and I have class! I wish it were sooner, but oh well! Good luck on your interview!

Also, how is nursing school so far? I am pretty much following your footsteps. I plan on applying for nursing school at SELU this fall for the accelerated program. How is the job coming along as well? What do you do as an ER tech at Ochsner? Again Thanks!
