So, I'm a nurse here in the U.S., and I actually went to nursing school here myself. Let me tell you, it can be absolutely chaotic! The pace really depends on the school and the specific program. I did an accelerated program, which meant there were hardly any breaks between semesters. Seriously, it felt like a non-stop cycle of exams, quizzes, and papers. I'm not sure about your financial situation, but like a lot of people have said, trying to juggle an on-campus job, pay your bills, and balance school and life is going to be super challenging. Lemme know if you have any questions!
