I completed an accelerated 14month program and continued to work during my course of study. I worked full time my first and last semesters and worked part-time during the two middle semesters. I do not have any kids though. My classmates with families would work part-time during the weekends (12 hour shifts Sat and Sun), and balanced class, clinicals, and life during the week. Your family will experience major sacrifices during this time, but it will all be worth it. It is all about time management!
