Is it possible to still work part time whilst doing a nursing degree?

Hey,

I'm seriously considering retraining and looking at how to still be financially independent.

I know it'll be nigh on impossible to work part time in year 3, due to placement etc, but what about year 1&2?

I work an admin job at the moment, from home, so I was hoping to drop to part time.

Is this a silly idea and is it even doable?

I know people who have done, in recent years.

I don't know how equal all Nursing Degrees are.
It will also depend on what else you have to do. The people I know who have done so were typical student age. I don't know about you but now I am "more mature" I have less energy than I did when I was 18 / 19/ 20 / 21

You could see if there is a evening nursing team near you and do HCA work.
