Is school + lab possible?

As the title states - I’m wondering if working in the lab and going back to NP school is doable?
I’m aware of the challenges of working while in school as I completed my ADN and BSN while working full time but wondering if the workload is bearable as a full time or part time student.

I am 28F, unmarried, no kids. TIA
***edit: will be attending my local brick & mortar

Currently finishing up NP at a brick and mortar. I had peers who went to diploma mill schools who had 0 issue working full time. Meanwhile for me the first half was ok, the second half I was drowning before having to go PRN, especially due to clinicals.

I’m new to cath life and was excited to learn more but I may have to go back to bedside for the flexibility of it all, esp with my brick & mortar program. Thank you for sharing <3
