I have lecture and clinicals 3 days out of the week for the Fall semester. I do have an idea of how I want to map out my time, I just haven't put it on paper yet. I'm in a situation where I have to work during school. I have a family to support and bills to pay. We have other means of support but I'm not planning on using those unless I absolutely have to. I think all I can do at this point is take it one day at a time. There are so many unknowns, it's not worth stressing myself out about it right now :) Thanks for all of your input!

I will be starting my first semester of nursing school (clinicals) in just a few weeks and I have recently been offered a job working in a hospital as a clinical services rep for a surgical/trauma unit. I'm already nervous and overwhelmed by what's about to take place with school but will it be too much to work a full-time, 12-hr shift job on top of that? I have to work to help support my family (married with a 4 yr. old and a 2 yr. old) and I think that this job in particular will do a world of good as far as experience. I'm just worried about how I'm going to do it all without losing my mind!

This info looks great! I'm taking Pharm in less than 3 weeks and I'm really nervous about it. Thank you for posting!

I am a pre-nursing student and will have all required pre-req's completed in the Spring. Our school's application process occurs once every year in the spring. I have all A's in all pre-req's completed up to this point. Here's my dilemma...I currently have a 1 1/2 year old and another one on the way. I am due in July and if accepted in the Spring, I would start classes in August. I know it's possible but is it realistic to do well in this situation? I am very determined and would like to finish with school as soon as possible but I sometimes think this may be a little too much to handle with a newborn. Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Happy Holidays!
