I am not in the Nursing classes yet til Spring (I think), but I've been working full-time and going to school part-time (and raising a baby a portion of that time) since 2004.

I know there are many posts out there regarding work/school/family and stories of people that do it!!!

Good luck!

It's totally doable I worked two full time jobs at a foster home and an ALF. Try to work weekends if that works for you, that way you can focus on school during the week.

I am an LVN who works weekend double shifts at a nursing home while attending school full-time during the week. I work 16 hours on Saturday, and 16 hours on Sunday, which enables me to have 5 days off per week to attend classes at my local community college.

I'm working a 9 to 5er (well more like 7:30 to 4er) Mon-Fri and taking two classes right now. Still in pre-reqs though but I plan on not working while going through my ABSN program.
