Nursing school?

Hi! I’ve been a flight attendant close to two years now and loveeeeee my job! :) however, due to certain circumstances, I will potentially need to leave in the next few years. Have any of you ever navigated nursing school balanced with this job? How did you do it and what was your program like?? I was previously in healthcare in a different role so it’s really all I know.

If anybody didn’t do nursing school, what other form of school did you do and how did you balance that with this job?

My seat is nice and I don’t have anyone next to me but I figured I’d move to a window seat after assigning my Grandmother to the window (I purchased and selected our seats). Asked to move to emergency exit row just behind us and they said I’d have to pay extra. I don’t get why an empty seat is left empty if no one will pay extra anyway. Also I’m willing and fully able to assist in an emergency.

Update: people asked if it was because of my body or face. Possibly my face as I’m less than a 5 for sure. I’m 6’2” in freedom units and 200 McDonald pounds. I was flying American Airlines Chicago to Indianapolis and it was surprisingly short flight. Did I really care if I got to move, no, did I find it mildly infuriating: yes. End of the day we got there safely, I spent way too much on supper for me and grandma and tomorrow we get to see family for the passing of my Uncle.
