Working Full Time while in Nursing School | Breakdown of my 87-hour Work Week! 

GOOD LUCK! You got this! I will say that the first week (or two) of each class is usually difficult and overwhelming. It gets better after you get a feel for the course and the professor :)

@@theluckienurse I prayed for this, so now that it’s finally here, gotta keep pushing. And thank you! You are a doll! If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t even have thought about Chamberlain or taking it seriously! Thank you so much, when I get this degree, please let me send you a gift or something.

@@SheriCheri94 amen! And aww I’m happy to help!!! Girl, just send me prayers for now to finish on time! Haha

I’m in NR103 and taking two there classes at chamberlain and I must say it’s a lot of work but it’s doable. Working on my eportfolio now. Feel free to reach out if you have questions.

@@mailemreyes11 ayeeee okay, whose class you in so I can find you! And it is a lot of work, girl my math class is killer!

Thank you for watching!

Yes, I can :) I have strong thoughts on it, but I don't want to make a video until after I've completed 1 (maybe even 2) full sessions using the new software systems and can give a fair assessment on them. So far though - I like the idea of the Elsevier and CJE tools in theory. They seem a lot more practical, and like they will prepare us for the new NCLEX better than ATI. However, I have a big problem with Chamberlain's implementation and roll out of the new systems.

Just off that little bit of info, it sounds like you'll make a good ER nurse haha they have to be able to function well in chaos!

My biggest tips are to stay on top of your work and to use outside resources. There are a lot of helpful RU-vid videos on Fundamentals - my favorite are the Simple Nursing videos!

Are you a Chamberlain University student?

Yes, I am in nursing school full time in an accelerated program. My classes are 8 weeks, while a traditional semester is 16 weeks. In a 16 week timeframe, I take only 2 classes (one at a time), but that is because I transferred into my program with over 30 credits, most of which were higher level classes that I would be taking now. Most of my classmates are taking 4-5 classes in a 16 week timeframe and many of my classmates also work either full time or part time. It's not easy and I wouldn't recommend it... But it is possible!

@@theluckienurse You're amazing

@@atblankhandle aww thank you and thank you for watching!

Hey my classes typically start at 6pm

Lol some sessions I get an average of 4- hours a night. Right now I get between 6-8

Yep 😊 married but no kids

Hey! So for the evening and weekend option, my clinicals could either be on a Saturday or a Sunday. I usually make my clinical days on Saturdays but there have been one or two sessions where I had to do Sunday clinicals. You won’t go to the hospital two days in a row. As an evening / weekend student, you will be going either Saturday or Sunday each session. I have never had a weekday clinical, but there have been students in the past who were not able to secure a weekend clinical and they were forced to do a Friday clinical. This should not happen though! Also, I have had class (lectures and labs on campus) up to four times a week in the past. As an evening and weekend student, my clinicals have never been more than once a week, on a Saturday or a Sunday. I hope that this helps!!

I have heard about ECPI from other Virginia students, but I am not too familar with it. You are incredible for going to school while having a child, AND eventually getting a part time job! Good luck!
