 Hi guys, so today I wanted to make a video on did I work during nursing school? I have a lot of people that ask me this question and a lot of you guys ask me should I work should I not work and I'm just gonna go off and say right at the beginning that this is just a personal preference if you want to work or not if you can afford to not work or not. I personally worked throughout nursing school up until like pretty much my last semester. I taught private piano lessons and viola violin lessons and did a few other little side jobs but that was like the main thing and it was really nice because I taught from my house and that my clients came to me I can make my own schedule and it fit nicely I made decent enough money to just you know survive off of but I was still do you mind get out of here but I was still living for at home so I didn't really like need to make enough income to like have a whole like house or apartment or whatnot and on my own so that was really nice but I still had to work because I got married during nursing school and you know my husband and I had an apartment temporarily in Washington on all these other things you know just being married you have more finances all that so I had to work during nursing school and was it a lot of work yes but I work better when I'm busy when I have a set schedule and like things to do I am more productive so personally for me I liked being busy and it worked for me and yes is it inconvenient to think oh I have so much homework but I have to go home and work for five hours yeah but I made it work and I budgeted my time and I did better in nursing school than a lot of people who didn't work not saying that if you don't work you can't do well in nursing school so my recommendation is just to find what works best for you if you have to work then you just got to do what you got to do it's not impossible I've known people with three tiny children at home who are single moms who have to work to provide for the family and still manage to make it through nursing school and I know people who just didn't work at all and who failed out of nursing school so it really depends on the person it depends on your needs in your life and if you need to work or not my recommendation would be like if you could not work and you could afford that and you have the resources to then sure but some of us just have to work or like to work and that's up to you so thank you guys for watching this video let me know in the comments below what you did or what you're doing or what you think you're gonna do if you're gonna work if you're not if you did if you didn't let me know in those comments below get this video thumbs up and subscribe to my channel and I'll see you guys next time bye
