Nurses who worked through school

Hello everyone. I would like to hear from any nurses who went to school full-time and worked part-time, worked full-time and went to school part-time, or did both full-time! I am wanting to enter an accelerated BSN program since I have a previous BS...but I need to work about 20 hours a week in my tech job, so that the hospital pays tuition. I am already in student loan debt from my first degree and I want to be smart this time around about finances. Any success stories about balancing work/nursing school at an intense pace? Keep in mind I have no children or other obligations to add into the mix :). I want to believe I can do this!!

    I worked part time as a CNA when I went to LPN school. But I was 21 and lived with my parents.

    I worked full time as an LPN when I went to RN school. Hardest thing I've ever done. I would not recommend it if you don't have to do it. I was lucky that my job was paying my tuition and they allowed me to study if it was quiet and were flexible with my schedule. I do not have kids and I lost a fiancee because he couldn't handle my crazy life. You'll find out QUICKLY who is a true friend/supporter and who isn't. I lost quite a few friends as well as the fiancee.

    I have heard that the accelerated program leaves NO time to work.
