Review the syllabus. Get a copy of the syllabus for each of your nursing classes for the semester on your first day of class. Obtain a planner or calendar and write down all of the important dates. This includes assignment due dates, test dates and even dates for clinical experiences. Review all of the dates and determine in advance what dates to request time off at your two jobs to allow you to study for major tests or projects in the nursing program.
Talk to your boss. Let the supervisors at both of your jobs know that you are attending nursing school full time. Ask them for time off on the dates you had determined that you need to study and prepare for major tests and projects. Learn about the possibility of working nontraditional hours or from home, if the employer allows it. Depending on the type of work you do, you may be able to complete the work on the weekends when you have more time.
Secure an on-campus job. Review the job opportunities available to students at your college by visiting the student career center. On-campus jobs are often more flexible to a student's schedule since supervisors know the main goal is to ensure you receive your education.
Seek out additional financial aid. Visit with a financial aid officer from your school to learn what additional financial support is available to you. Your first priority is to pass the nursing program and earn your license to work as a nurse, so working two jobs may not be feasible if it is going to cause you to do poorly or fail in the nursing program. Learn what additional scholarships, grants or student loans you qualify for to alleviate your employment load while you attend nursing school.
