I attended nursing school while working full-time .Even had a wife and child to support while doing it.
That is incredible! I have so much respect for men who support their families in that way!
@@theluckienurse there’s more of us than you think.
we need more men like you
Wow! I feel I can do it too!
Did you go for the BSN or ASN?
I commend you. I worked full time while in nursing school. I was a medical assistant and now I'm a Registered Nurse. It was stressful but worth it. You got this keep going.
Thank you so much! What type of nurse are you?
I am currently a medical assistant, how did you manage a full time job with being a student?
@@triaschools8451 i wondered the same only because most medical assistant jobs near me are doctors offices m-f 8-5 which usually school is m-f sometime
Happy to see a MA here. I’m a full time MA going to work full time and school for ADN . Congrats !!
I’m a MA as well full time, I will like to know how did you do it?
Motivating me for becoming a full time student (online) while working full time (in office) this year at 30 years old!
It’ll be hard, but if I can do it anyone can!!!
Same, 93 babies got thiiiiiis 🦾🤘🏿🤎
@@aquiladaniels5486 just got signed up for classes today. Praying for us girl 🥲🥲🥲
Girl this is me! I’m in a LPN program evenings class 4 nights a week and 1 weekend clinical. I’m a Patient care tech at a hospital and I just quit my day time caregiving position. I’m thinking about going to nightshift to get my hours in a go part time or full time at that job during school. But I’m scared because I dont want my schooling to suffer. I like the busy-ness but man it’s no joke!
Wow the 4 nights a week is intense. That was my schedule last summer and I was barely able to handle it!
Good luck on your journey!
At chamberlin?
I'm Nigerian American and I also agree...the dog at the foot of the bed grosses me out as well haha
Hahaha trust me girl, I feel you! I had to compromise for man business 😂
This is the in depth breakdown I needed 🙌🏼
You are amazing, I needed to hear this! This built up my confidence!!!
Aww! Thank you so much for watching my video ♥️
I enjoyed listening to the breakdown of your week Melissa. Whew...you joggle so much. I commend you. And that commute back and forth stresses me out for you because I personally don't enjoy driving...😄
We definitely like the same kinds of shows...911, Abbott... lifetime movies...just got into lonestar and loving it. I can listen to you talk all day!! Glad I stumbled on your page...
Thank you for watching! And OMG I love lifetime movies lol I recently just discovered Tubi, and their movies are like low budget lifetime movies lol I love it!
Thanks a lot...
I learned alot watching this video from my Liberian sister.
I am a typical Liberian.
Thank you for watching, and ayyy my Liberian sister!! 🇱🇷
😂😂😂Family Gossip
And your mom calling you is so sweet❤
I can literally hear you talking for hours 🥰 also you’re beautiful!! Gosh 😭
Aww, thank you so much! That is so nice!
Fellow Sierra Leone gal here! And my mom is from both Liberian and Sierra Leone. I resonated with your video in a lot of ways (I’m in DMV, African, going back to school to be a therapist while working full time remote job, American partner, etc.) haha I’m so glad I found your channel ❤
Ahh that is so cool! I love hearing about people that are in similar situations than me because it makes me feel a lot less alone ♥️ Thank you for watching my video and good luck in school girl! You got this!
Awesome time management 😍
Thank you!
I am so happy i found you! I am a full time medical assistant Monday to Friday. I have 3 young children but have so much support from my parents and husband. I am planning on applying to chamberlain
Thank you! And that would be awesome! I have mothers in my cohort and they are honestly some of the best students!
standing ovation to you. So brave and organize you are. Thank you for sharing your experience. i planned to start nursing school , your video is like a booster for me. Good luck for your career.🥰
Thank you so much! And good luck with your journey ♥️
Great energy❤️ love your attitude and motivation. Thank you
Aww thank you and thank you for watching!
I also work full-time while attending Chamberlain, but I commend you, Melissa! That's dedication, and I'm sure it's a lot, but keep pushing :) We also love watching the same shows haha
Aww thank you! What do you do for work if you don’t mind me asking?
@@theluckienurse I definitely don’t mind! I work under the Research Assistant umbrella, but my official role is serving as a Policy, System and Environment Leader through schools to support and effect change through nutrition and physical activity. While I can work from home majority of the times, I don’t have a set schedule and have to attend trainings and conferences and may not find out about in person work tasks until the day before, so I have to juggle that with school and it can be pretty overwhelming. I appreciate watching your videos and your honesty and advice which helps me to think more about how I can make changes that will be beneficial and even get prepared for future classes!
Your parents are so sweet😂
Great inspiration for balancing everything - thanks for sharing!
Whoa that is a huge feat !
I take my hat 🎩 💪💪💪for you you are so brave I wish I can be like you when I start nursing school
Awww thank you! I don’t feel brave, just tired lol
@@theluckienurse because they is no way I can’t even think of working full time and going to school full time I will drop 💀 you are truly and inspiration
Some have to add full time mom to list🙂..Great video!
A lot of my classmates are mothers, and I have no idea how they do it… I personally know I couldn’t handle having a child while in school, but some of the people with kids have the highest GPAs! It’s incredible!
I’m in Maryland as well! I’ve never heard of Chamberlain. I like that it’s no pre reqs or waitlist but driving to Tysons for school….🥴 that drive lol
The drive is a nightmare lol
Beautiful border collie
Right now I’m in aviation school and I work 40-60 hours a week and I go to school Monday-Thursday 7-2pm along with a 45 minute drive one way to school..Atleast my school and job are close to each other..I’m tired asfuck 😂..I have a year left…….
Hey, that’s actually really cool! I never hear about people becoming pilots anymore… How long is school for that?
@@theluckienurse the school to be a mechanic is 18 months and you have to pass tests.. To be a pilot you have to fly for a certain amount of hours.. like if you want to fly the big planes that’s like 10k-20k hours…But the main problem is cost.. Each hour cost like 100$,that’s why I’m being a mechanic instead
Girl you sure are lucky to work from home I am also working and going to school it’s 🤯
I actually got a new job in May and I go into an office everyday! It’s been so much better for me lol I’m going to make an updated video since my schedule has totally change 😊
@@theluckienurseplease make that video I need time management tips
wow, I'm in Canada and start my nursing program in the fall. I can't imagine working that much while in school. I plan to work casual/on-call pick-up shifts here or there. My program is online except labs and clinicals.
Good luck in school! How long is your program?
@@theluckienurse 2.5 years.
May I ask the school you are attending
May I ask which school? I’m in Canada too and I’m looking for online second entry programs
If you live in DC you can go to Nursing School for free or even get paid to go to school at UDC.
Put us on to the WFH job
You give me hope this is an amazing . Are you in bsn program part time ? Two day classes and one clinical day
Aww, thank you and thank you for watching! I am in a full-time, accelerated BSN program. Classes are eight weeks, so every eight weeks my schedule changes. There have been times throughout the program where I only have to go to campus one night a week, and then I have clinical one day a week on the weekend also. There have been times during the program where I have had to go to campus four nights a week. So it can honestly vary!
I live in Frederick, how long do you think the commute would be to campus?
A fellow Marylander! :)
It depends on when you are getting to campus… Frederick is probably about 45 to 50 minutes away from Tysons corner. But if you are heading there during rush-hour traffic first thing in the morning or in the afternoon, it would probably take you about an hour and a half on average (on a good day) to get to school.
I’m taking 12 units and I’m trying to figure out how to work full or even part time job. Is remote the best route to take ?
Hey! I would advise not working at all if it is an option. Or work part time at first and see how you manage it before going full time. I’ve now worked both from home and from an office being in school and it honestly depends on the job and your employer. My experience working from home was very difficult for school. Working in an office now is better for me, and I know of people who are the opposite
You mentioned lecture for three hours and clinicals but do you have labs where you learn clinical skills?
Hey, no I do not have those… Earlier in the program, we would have labs for classes like anatomy and physiology and biology. And then once we started our nursing classes, we had labs where we learned clinical skills. But once we started going to the hospital for clinical, those labs were eliminated. So, clinical basically replaced the labs that we were having. I hope that answers your question!
@@theluckienurse Oh ok. Great video! I’ve been trying to find a full time job schedule that works with an Associate RN program. It’s nice to see someone who has it figured out. I wish you nothing but success with school.
Question how do you fit in sleep and do you work 10 hour shifts or 8 hour shifts at work ?
Hey! So I didn’t/ don’t have shifts for my job (I recently started a new job about a month and a half ago). I was in a salary position, so I was suppose to be working 8 hours a day, but would often work 10-12. With salary positions, a lot of companies over work you since you don’t get paid by the hour and don’t get overtime pay. Now, with my new job, I have set boundaries and usually work no more than 8 hours a day.
And I am better about sleep now. I just prioritize it. There have been times in nursing school where I would get an average of 3-4 hours of sleep a night. Now I try to make sure I’m in bed and not doing any work or school work by 10pm every night!
new subby 😊
Can you able to get brakdown of your courses at your evening program. can i take only one classes instead of taking both pharma and physic? i am going to join soon chamberlain evening program with a baby and a toddler lol
Hey! Good luck with school and that is amazing that you are doing the program with small children!
I make videos breaking down each class after I finish. I talk about the layout of each class and the schedule. I’m sure you can opt to take one class at a time instead of 2, but for more information on that you should reach out to your advisor!
while still looking moisturized and well rested? how? nursing school and working has me looking ugly
Haha thank you! I definitely put on makeup and fix myself up for these videos! Haha
I’m trying to figure this out but with my child 😢
So I can’t speak too much about having kids while doing a nursing program because I’m not a mother… But there were quite a few women in my cohort who were moms and also worked. I even had a couple of women in my cohort who got pregnant during the program, delivered their baby, and kept going without missing a single day of class. It is absolutely not easy and I have no idea how they did it, but it is possible if you are determined.
I wish you the best of luck and I really hope you figure out what works best for you to be able to go to nursing school ♥️
Nigeria 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬
How many times a month do you have clinical?
Hey! Every class is different. When I was taking MedSurg last session, I had a 12 hour clinical every single Saturday. So four times in one month.
So you go to school at night???
Yep! I work during the day and go to school at night
@@theluckienurse cool that honestly makes sense you’re able to make $ while furthering your education 😍.
@@amccain32 yeah, there are definitely ways to do that with nursing. I am fortunate that I am able to attend an evening program that allows me to work during the day. A lot of people get their associates degree and then work full-time as a nurse while they are working toward their bachelors as well!
What job you do m to f
I do activities in a retirement community. I have a degree in communications and marketing, and my job is kind of in the category of marketing because I do a lot of event planning. So I plan, schedule, and conduct activities for financially well off retirees basically lol
@@theluckienurse I have a bachelor degree in Chinese language any chance for me in any remotely job
You work at home that is how you are able to do this
I left my job and have been working outside of the home since May and I am still in school. I plan to make an updated video talking about my current work week!
🤔🤔
Thanks for watching!
