Intense Nursing School Schedule--Can I do it?

Everyone's different... don't let anyone tell you what you can and can not do. Ask yourself.. how badly do you want this? The most important part of getting thru nursing school is being ORGANIZED and taking care of yourself. If you can schedule good.. you can treat school like a job as well leaving plenty of time for STUDYING! if you actually keep up with your reading ... you can do it.. if you have to cram and get no sleep and don't eat right..forget it, but if you stay focused and realize you might not have much of a social life for the next two years or be a Great wife...then you can grin and bear, but only you know yourself. I did it with two young daughters at home and graduated with honors. I stuck to my study schedule and when i didn't ..it showed. i had a job for the beginning of nursing school and always studied on any off time ( and i was waitress ..reading in the break room when it came time for clinicals i was fortunate enough to cut my hours way back to only 2 days a week thanks to my husband so.. talk to your family and see what kind of support you have and GO FOR IT ! Good luck and all the best..Amber RN BSN
