Working while being in the TCC RN program

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey guys,

I'm currently working on being accepted in the TCC (Tallahassee Community College) Nursing program for fall 2018. I attend BC (Broward College) in South Florida fir this last semester, hoping to pass HUN1201. I then would have to score well on the HESI.

My question is Can I work while being in the program? Who plans on working while being in the program? I have my CNA/PCT license and plan on working whether it be per diem, part-time 12hrs, or full time 12hrs at one if the hospitals in Tally. Who has this experience and how did it work out. What would you recommend?

I greatly appreciate the help, and will like to thanks those in advance for your time. Feel free to ask me any questions.

I live in NY. I have 2 kids and work full-time. I got accepted into a nursing program for fall 2018. I am the sole provider so I can't afford to not work or even go down to part time. I'm hoping that my work schedule which is overnights 7 days on/7 days off works with the demand of getting through the program. If you are financially able to work part time or oer form then that would be a start. Good luck!!!

I'm applying for fall 2018 as well at TCC. I plan on working around 18-20 hours a week while in the program, i'm super nervous! I know it will be tough but with the right planning and time management I think it can be done. Have you taken the HESI yet?

I haven't taken the hesi yet. I'm not ready. I've studied once, but need the book again before I take it. I still need to transfer my transcript after grades have been submitted.

I need to find some private duty cases to work so I can study on the job. I'm nervous about moving because it'll be the first I'm living on my own.
