Nursing Student

I just enrolled in nursing school. I work full time as a hotel manager, have two kids and one on the way. My husband is being really supportive but scheduling around my job will be tricky. Will I survive?

It's possible, but I imagine it will be difficult. Enlist the help of willing family and friends. Plan ahead and keep to a schedule to use your time effectively. Is it possible to only work part-time while you are in school? That would free up some time that you could use for classes/studying or for family time.

Many people before you have successfully managed full-time employment and full-time nursing school attendance. Yes, you will survive if you want it badly enough.

I worked 32 hours per week while going to school full-time, but the major difference is that I didn't have a spouse or children like you. Good luck to you. We are here for virtual support whenever you feel you will need it.
