I went through the Women's Health Nurse Practitioner program in the 1995 as a BSN. I worked full time and went to school full time. I did not have children at the time. I felt the experience was not unbearable. I chose to do that for a few reasons. My husband was in school full time and we had to pay the bills. Also, I was a Vanderbilt employee and to get the employee tuition benefit and to get my scholarship money I had to work full time and go to school full time. I don't know about other specialties, but I know with WH that clinical placements were a premium. It was sometimes a huge juggling act to make my work schedule work with my clinical schedule, especially with the practicum. I hope all goes well for you.
