Why do people say you cannot work in Nursing School?
I am looking to continue working throughout nursing school, but have been advised against it. Is it really too difficult to do both? #nursing

Dear Daniella,
For some of us it is absolutely necessary to work. We don't have any other option. I was one of those people. I had children and a mortgage to pay so I did not have the luxury of being a full-time student. I worked only part-time and that was plenty. It was very hard to stay on top of all of my schoolwork while working also. I am not going to say it was easy by any means. If I had a choice, I would choose to only go to school.
If you can survive financially and be a full-time nursing student then by all means do it. It is the best way. Between clinicals and lectures the amount of material received is enormous. A lot of time has to be dedicated to studying. And every minute will count!
Best of luck to you!
