thats what id be doing is night classes... 2 a semester except one semester with 3... i have an understanding boss and i get a lot of PTO (5.5 hours per pay period)... As for clinicals I work for the hospital where I hope to do them so maybe that will workout.. I can also change my hours around for work too (I work short days wednesday and half day Friday) so if I need to do clincals in a morning I can extend my hours those other days.

I was planning on trying Truman (CCC) for adn. I would only need to take Chem 120 prior to applying for the program since I have all of my pre-reqs completed. I was just wondering if clinical schedules would be difficult to schedule/work around while working 35-40 hours a week.

anyone have any thoughts... pleaseee

I never really replied. But I work a front desk job at a doctors office. I have time throughout the day to do work, study, and a learn things. I basically have 8 hour work day, I would be able to study at lunch and at least the 2-3 hours a day I spend on the internet. They will give me options where I can have a flexible schedule. About how much time a week do you spend studying outside of class? On weekends I have nothing to do, all I really do is go to the gym and watch TV. I really have no responsiblites, I already have done all of the pre-req's minus basic chem (which I took in HS and might be able to test out of). I took English 101 at my university and received 98%. I would only need 10 classes in order to pass nursing school. Any thoughts?

I know Truman (CCC) has classes offered on Fridays and saturdays. I guess I would just have to talk to an advisor about finding somewhere to do clinicals at night or on the weekends.

....?

I graduated in 2010 with a B.S. in business management with a specialty in health care. I've always wanted to go into nursing and have now realized a lot of leadership positions in health care require clinical experience. I currently work for Northwestern and I really like and they really like me so I don't want to lose my job. Would it be at all possible to work full time (38-40 hrs a week) while attending nursing school on Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's? I work 11 hour days Monday and Tuesday so I get off of work Friday by 11 a.m. I already have most of the pre-reqs out of the way and would only have to take 1-2 bio classes to have everything done. So my question... would it be impossible to go to nursing school while working full-time, and is it worth it to go back to school soon to expand my career opportunities?
