Hello All, Has anyone gone or currenly doing the NP program while working (full time or part time) and has a family? I've been a medical-surgical RN for 3 years. I've been married for 5 years and my husband and I have a 3 year old toddler. I work full time and he does office job part time so we have time to take care of our daughter. My husband is very supportive of me if I decided to give up my job or find a part time so I could focus on my studies. I have interviewed for part time positions but got turned down when I told them i'm going back to school to become an NP. For some reason, I feel that they don't want to hire me because they think that im not going to be there long term. At the same time, im afraid that my current manager might find out that im applying for other jobs. They know that im going back to school but they do not offer any part time or per diem position. The reason why im writing this is because is it doable to do NP school with a full time job + family. I have heard stories from some graduates who gave up their jobs in order to fulfill the clinical portion of the program. I got accepted in a public state university and taking classes twice a week. My co-workers said that im lucky to be in a program because when I become an NP, I wont have to do bedside nurse anymore (if you guys know what I mean). I don't want to give up this opportunity because I know its beneficial long term.
