While I worked my last 2 years in nursing school. There are a lot to consider. I am a full time faculty teacher who teaches in the last year. If you have a course that is a practicum, I would advise for you to really look at your schedule and balance around school as a priority. I'm not saying it's not doable, but you have to be very disciplined, and you also have to appraise what kind of student you are. I do have students who work multiple hours and don't do well. However, they may be weak in knowledge and synthesis. If you are a strong student in good standings, work around your school schedule. Save your vacation time that accrues for important things that come up like your final clinical rotation. Lump your hours together if you can and maintain your school, study, and rest schedule. Please do not go to the school or clinical having worked the night before as that is not safe. You may say this is common sense, but I've had people do this. This is not professional, and you don't want to jeopardize anything in your last year. Keep your goals close and the end in sight. If you start to slide, back down. Prayers for success.
