BusywithNursing

I work 3 12- night shifts (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) I have done it since the first day of nursing school. It's hard and I have days that I go on short 20 min. naps. I never work the night before a clinical day. I also make sure that I take off a day and half before an exam. Other than that I have been able to get through each semester. Flipping back and forth. I have motivation for personal reasons to do this. You must eat well, take naps when you can. Know your personal limitations. Show a positive attitude and know that if your semester is 15 weeks...you remind yourself that it's only for 15 weeks. (15 Monday's or 15 Friday's...)

I work thur, fri sat 7p-7a... Dreading the 24 hr days... But that's all I can do! Starting jan 2014!! Woot woot the next two years are going to be hard and wonderful all at the same time...

I start this jan as well... My husband is disabled and we survive on my little SALERY alone. (No disability checks here) I have to work full time during nursing school and I'm scared out of my tree! I don't know how I'm going to do it but I just keep reminding myself "I have no choice I HAVE TO DO IT!" Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done... We can do this!! "The bumble by design should not be able to fly... The wings are way too small for its big body... The thing is it does fly... It's able to fly because no one told it it can't." Be a bumble bee and fly!

I'm starting nursing school at 36; 38 when I graduate too... Then I'm moving strait to my bsn want to finish before my 40th bday! I feel like I'm going to be the oldest in my class too but with age come more wisdom and responsibility! Just want to be able to find a job at that age.

Depends on the type if financial aid you were awarded. If its a student Loan it covers summer semester. If its truly a grant, pell or other wise it does not cover summer classes.
