Learn how working nurses manage their jobs while enrolled in FlexPath FPX programs.
Content:
One of the biggest advantages of FlexPath FPX is its flexibility — which means yes, you can absolutely work while pursuing your degree.
Many students maintain full-time nursing jobs while completing FlexPath FPX programs. Since there are no fixed class times, you can study whenever fits best — whether it’s late at night, on breaks, or during days off.
Here are some common scenarios:
- Day shift nurse → Evening student
- Travel nurse → On-the-go learner
- ICU nurse → Weekend warrior
To make it work:
- Dedicate focused blocks of time daily or weekly
- Communicate with your employer about your educational goals
- Use vacation time to focus on exams or clinicals
Some students even receive tuition assistance or reimbursement from their employers — making it even more financially viable.
However, success depends heavily on time management and prioritization. If you’re not careful, it’s easy to fall behind without structured deadlines.
