Working Full Time while in Nursing School | Breakdown of my 92-hour Work Week! 

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?

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?

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 🥲🥲🥲

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?

Thank you! And that would be awesome! I have mothers in my cohort and they are honestly some of the best students!

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!

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!

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

Hahaha trust me girl, I feel you! I had to compromise for man business 😂

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!

Thank you so much! And good luck with your journey ♥️

Aww! Thank you so much for watching my 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!

Thank you for watching, and ayyy my Liberian sister!! 🇱🇷

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

Aww, thank you so much! That is so nice!

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

The drive is a nightmare lol

Thank you!

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!

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

Haha thank you! I definitely put on makeup and fix myself up for these videos! Haha

@@shelleyg586 lol I did MOST of my studying and homework on Sundays throughout nursing school. I’d go to the library and just stay there all day. And then some evenings during the week, I’d do homework as I had time

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

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.

Aww thank you and thank you for watching!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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 ♥️

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.

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

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!
