One of the most challenging accomplishments in life is going back to school to become a nurse . It can seem insurmountable if you plan to go to school while continuing to work full-time. However, for many students, the only way they can afford to go back to school is to keep working.
The good news is that with the options for day or night classes, many students can find success in continuing to work while attending school. It often comes down to going into schooling with the right mindset. Learn more about how to tackle being a student and a full-time employee.
Nursing students have to deal with a number of challenges in the classroom. They have to be able to memorize a large amount of information that needs to be recalled in life and death circumstances. A nursing student has to learn about complex topics, such as medications and anatomy.
They also have to be able to perform a variety of nursing tasks, such as taking a person's blood pressure or drawing blood. It can be difficult to tackle everything that nursing school can throw at you, and do everything else in your life.
There are some ways that you can successfully navigate going to nursing school while continuing to work full time. Flexible scheduling, time management, and study skills can be successfully used to help with balancing a full course load while continuing to work.
Between your workplace and school, you'll have to work on incorporating a schedule that will accommodate both. For some students, that may mean having to take only night classes because they have to work a regular day shift while other students may have to alternate when they go to school and when they work because of how their workplace schedules them.
It's important to tell your place of work that you are going to school so they can help you work around important hours, such as those needed for classes or clinical hours. Also, let your professors know that you are working full-time in addition to school. This will help them understand your situation.
The way you handle your time management is another way to make it possible to attend classes while working. A student that's unable to keep track of when a paper is due or what hours they work during a week is going to struggle during their time back at school.
Time management is key. One of the best actions that you can take when it comes to time management is keeping a calendar and to-do list . You'll want to keep track of personal, professional, and school related tasks to make it easier to juggle it all.
The final piece to the puzzle is your study skills. One of the problems that people fall into when it comes to going back to school and having to study again is ignoring what works for them. It's important that you find the best way to study based on your learning style.
You may find that traditional studying efforts aren't effective for you, and that you need to employ out of the box thinking when it comes to a great study session. For instance, you may be able to just read your textbook or notes over and over again to commit it to your memory, but this traditional effort may not work. You may find it more beneficial to write out what you've learned on note cards or join a study group.
Are you considering going back to school to become a nurse and want to continue working full-time? Contact us at ECPI University today to learn more about our flexible scheduling for our Associate of Applied Science Degree of Nursing . Our admissions staff can help you with any questions or concerns that you have about the program. Don't hesitate, connect with a friendly admissions advisor today .

Let’s be real: being a nurse isn’t glamorous or healthy. Most nurses in the break room are eating a quick DoorDash or fast-food meal during their 30 minute lunch. As a new nurse, you’ll likely take one look at those seasoned nurses, wondering if you’ll inevitably end up with the same poor eating habits. And, what about the fast-paced, high stress lifestyle that we call “nurse life.” With the unpredictability that comes with each day, we often put ourselves second all day long. So, as nurses, we have to be intentional about making our health a priority. Otherwise, it’s far too easy to let our health fall into a downward spiral.
Why Nurses Should Prioritize Their Health
We could discuss the benefits of creating healthy habits all day, but there are a few to specifically pay attention to. Personally, healthy habits increase our immune response and prepare our bodies to readily fight off disease. Professionally, they prevent us from burn-out and allow us to provide the highest level of patient care. And emotionally, healthy habits increase our resilience to those inevitably hard days and help us recover from many traumatic situations that we may encounter.
It is possible for every nurse to change the norm when it comes to our health. With these health tips in mind, you can conquer those mid-shift munchies, energize your mind and body, and serve your patients to the best of your ability:
As a fellow nurse, my goal is to help each and every one of you form healthy habits that improve your quality of life. If you have more suggestions of healthy habits for busy nurses, share them with me below!
Thanks! Keep an eye on your inbox for updates.

Being a nurse is not a profession for the faint-hearted. Nurses deal with life, death, and everything in between.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics , nurses are responsible for assisting physicians in administering patient care, providing advice and educating patients on a variety of medical conditions, and giving advice to the patient as well as their family.
And while it might be a demanding job, it seems it's a rewarding one. A study by AMN Healthcare found 83% of nurses say they are satisfied with their choice of nursing as a career.
Business Insider spoke with two nurses, Nancy Whitt and Liz Watkins, to find out what it's really like to be a nurse.
Whitt is a gastrointestinal nurse in California with 45 years of experience. She works in Outpatient Services (sometimes called Day Stay) and Gastrointestinal (GI) Lab and is one of five gastrointestinal nurses in her hospital providing 24/7 coverage by being on call.
Watkins is a critical care nurse with two years experience working in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Kentucky. Her patients are critically ill and in the process of recovering.
Here's what they said being a nurse really entails:
Most hospitals allow nurses to determine their shifts in advance. For Watkins, that's three 12-hour day shifts a week.
"I work from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., although my shifts rarely end at the time they're supposed to. I usually leave at about 7:45 p.m. Sometimes it can be as late as 10 p.m., depending on what's been going on and how the patients are doing," Watkins told Business Insider.
In addition to her set shifts, Watkins is also required to work two support shifts in every eight-week period.
