Nursing student with a husband that travels

Yes there are 8 hour shift hospital jobs. You might have looked into all of this prior to going to nursing school, however.

Yes there are PRN jobs. But, and a big BUT, most prn jobs assume you can show up pretty much when they call you. Most assume you don't need much in the way of orientation. You should be confident already in your nursing skills.

Looks like you need to find childcare? This is something you should have thought through prior to thinking about working at any profession. Even prior to nursing in my other career, I worked late into the evening many days of the week, and weekends as well, occasionally I worked 20 hour days as well. So, you have two choices: convince a family member to take care of your children, or hire someone to take care of your children.

Thanks! I currently have childcare but definitely not for more than 10 hours a day. My husband keeps telling me to not worry about it and that we will figure something out.
