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.
