Is It Possible For A 1st Year Nurse To Complete An Rn To Bsn Program And Work Full Time?

…or is that too much of a workload for a 1st year nurse?
Other information: It’s a mostly online RN to BSN track.

    I started in an online RN to BSN program the very next semester after graduation from the ADN program. I started out working 80% of full time, and gradually dropped down to about 60%. I also have a family and so it was rather stressful for me. But it’s possible. Everyone can handle different amounts of stress. But I would recommend trying not to work full time if you can help it. RNs make decent money and often get full benefits for as little as half-time status, so I’d say try to only work as much as you really have to while in school and go full time later after you’re done. Good luck.

    why would being a 1st yr rn slow u down? if u want it –do it. people told u getting your rn would be hard too, didn’t they? I’ve decided to get mine after 12 yrs and I’m a little scared cuz it’s been too long maybe. I work full time+OT, I’m starting with 2 prerq’s community college math/ IT in aug, then add Ohio University’s online program 1 class in oct–kinda sneeking up on it to see how I do
