I worked full time during my first term of nursing school, 36 hours a week and 12 hour shifts. It was hard but kept me on track with staying on top of studying and homework. I am now a casual part time employee am only required to work 24 hours a month. Some months I pick up more dependent on how I am doing with the course material.
That sounds like the PERFECT schedule! That's great that you can increase or decrease your hours based on what's going on with school. I think you also hit on something SUPER important that I didn't mention in this video...when you work, you may actually be MORE focused and careful of how you spend your time. It could be a blessing as far as time management goes! Thank you so much for being here, Andie! 😃
Your videos are so helpful thank you so much you are so sweet! Many people tell me should not work during nursing school however I support myself and pay for all of my education, pay my bills and I'm extremely nervous to start in the fall because of the financial aspect of it. As it is my books are a few grand 😔 what do you think is the limit of how many hours I can work? I certainly want to have enough time to stay on top of my assignments and studying etc
That's a great question!! The number of hours you're able to work will vary based on a lot of factors, like how fast you learn, what other responsibilities you have (kiddos, spouse, etc.) and the schedule of your classes. I worked about 20 hours per week until I got pregnant and then started advanced med-surg where we had many clinical days each week. So it will really depend!!
Great question, friend! If you're part of a church, I recommend starting there. Often times, there are people within a church that will be willing to sponsor students to go to college. Another option is to go around to hospitals and private clinics and ask if they will sponsor you, in exchange for you working there after you graduate. I hope that helps! :) Good luck!!!
