As a student nurse currently in school, I would recommend to work as LITTLE as possible. The time constraints are difficult for those students that work full time. I personally don't work at all, and I am kept busy constantly. Now I know some of my fellow students are successful working full time and doing school, but they are exhausted and some of the smartest students. For my program, you would be OK during Fundamentals, but would have trouble after that. So, my point is, it is definitely do-able, but be prepared to not have a life, be missing spending time with your child, and barely spending time with your significant other. Like I said not fun, but it can be done.
