This is so inspirational! I’ve seen so many videos of people saying they don’t recommend working while in school…but some of us simply cannot afford not to. I start my first semester of nursing school and I’m planning on working as a server/bartender 2-4 times a week (depends on how my work load feels).I know with good time management anything is possible 😊
I still wouldn’t recommend it haha but like you said some of us just cannot afford to not work. And although it’s hard, it is definitely possible! Since I have become a nurse and started working at the hospital, I have met more people who worked full-time while in school, so if you are determined enough, I think you can do it. Being a server or a bartender will give you more flexibility to focus on school, while you’re still able to make the money that you need. Wishing you good luck and sending you good vibes ❤️
My first week of my first semester has been crazy! Luckily, I’m in NR 103 and it’s so too bad so far. I didn’t expect it to be so much work tho. Man pray for me. Lol
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.
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.
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.
My biggest tips are to stay on top of your work and to use outside resources. There are a lot of helpful RUclips videos on Fundamentals - my favorite are the Simple Nursing videos!
I had to hold off. The school by me has 12gr clinical and different times n days every semester. I had no way to work around it. Considering moving to another area closer to another school. Every one is totally different though
Im currently at ECPI thinking aout switching to nights. I have a son and husband. Its hard to stud once my son gets from school. Lol i plan on working part time
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!
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!
For the evening/weekend option throughout the program your clinicals always fell on a Saturday and you have Sundays off? And you never had clinicals on a weekday? Also, you said you could have clinicals 4 or six times for the term, would that be for the whole 16 week term or each 8 week session
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!!

Yay! New video 🎉 Can you make a video on your thoughts of chamberlain taking away ATI and now using Elsevier as well as the new CJE Assignments?
Yes, I can :)

Do you have any tips for passing Fundamentals?

Are you a Chamberlain University student?
How are your classes going at ECPI? What’s your schedule like?

Are you doing nursing school full-time? How many classes per semester or quarter?

What time do your night classes start?
Hey my classes typically start at 6pm
