Working while going to Mesa Community College

I worked all through nursing school In a nursing home. That is how I paid wbills and had to eat. He can do it! But 6ou have to chose what is most important over social life that is, school, work, study.

Hi I am a current nursing student at a Maricopa college and I personally quit my job in order to attend the program. Some people do work but I personally needed all the time I could get to study. The other thing is that the nursing program schedules can interfere with your work ,kids school, schedule etc. I was in class 2 days a week typically with and occasional 3rd day for clinical practice. Some students were put into afternoon classes. Also you will need to do a clinical somewhere and that may be a 12 hour shift on a week or weekend day. You really don't know until you are in your first day orientation and they give you your schedule. So a flexible job is in my opinion what is needed. Each block has a different class schedule as well. Be prepared to be flexible.

Hi Jonathan, can you tell me about your schedule? Like, times your classes start and clinical days? I am trying to get an idea of what my hours MIGHT look like so I can have an idea of how to plan ahead for work, kids school, etc.. I am debating between the morning and afternoon classes, wondering which one would work best with work, kids, marriage etc. Thank you!!
