6 Reasons You Should Work During Nursing...

About this episode

Deciding whether or not to work while you go to nursing school can be a difficult decision. Should you focus on studying? Should you get the experience of working? Today we’re talking about 6 reasons why you should work during nursing school, (and one situation where you shouldn’t.) Some people don’t have a choice. They’ve got rent to pay, or other people to support, and they have to work during nursing school just to stay afloat. But, maybe you are lucky enough to be living somewhere rent-free, or you have a partner who’s working, or you’ve planned ahead, and have saved up money so you don’t have to work. So, I’m gonna cover 6 reasons why you should work, one reason why you shouldn’t, and I’ll also share what I decided to do.
