Any nursing students planning a wedding?

A, on November 7, 2017 at 9:36 AM Posted in Planning 0 25

Is it possible to plan/have a wedding and go on a honeymoon while in nursing school? I feel like I should wait until I graduate but don't want to wait four years to marry my FH!

    I'm a recent grad, but I had 2 classmates that planned their weddings during school. It is definitely possible! I'm currently planning my wedding while working full time on nights. You just have to figure out how to adjust your time Smiley smile

    I wasn't in nursing school but I was finishing my Masters in OT. I think it's worth it to wait. I had to shell out so much extra money through my program and would have felt so conflicted about choosing to spend it on the wedding or my education because education always wins.

    Honestly during clinicals I was so dead every day I would come home and immediately nap. I would fall asleep in my car at stoplights because our shifts varied so much. On my second placement they placed me in a different state than where I live and I had to travel over an hour and a half to get there.

    It's much more worthwhile to wait. You'll have more energy, time, and money.

    We both waited to be done w Grad school. I was done last April, FH will be done in April 2018, so right now I'm taking care of most of the planning (I do work full time And have a part time business) Not sure how long you guys have been together, but we will be together 8 years, and most of that time was being considerate of each others goals. It also has a lot to do with finances, you may be able to find the time, but what about money? Nursing school is super expensive (again, I don't know your finances). It also depends, how big of a wedding you want to plan? I would strongly recommend waiting. You may be able to pull it together, but you may not enjoy the process. Good luck!

    I am in my first year of nursing school and I am getting married next august! It's stressful but it is possible! Just do as much as you can on the breaks. This summer before the program started I made sure to book all my big things venue, photographer, florist, DJ.. stuff like that!

    I'm currently doing it! I have about 2 semester left and I'm getting married right in the middle of them, I have an amazing support system and that makes a world of difference, my mother and mother in law are amazing! They both take on a lot but they also make sure to ask my opinion. I say you can absolutely do it however I would get settled in with school and see how you feel first.

    My FH is in nursing school and planning on graduating in May (fingers crossed!!). I am finishing an MBA in March. For us it was important to finish school before getting married but I understand how everyone is different. Good luck with whatever you decide!

    Of course it's possible. Why wouldn't it be? There are brides here in law school, med school, nursing school, grad school, and those working full time and going to school or raising a family. Anything is possible if you're organized and able to manage your time.

    The only thing I could think about in my nursing undergrad was not shitting myself on the way to tests.

    I am not a nursing student, but I did just register for Spring 2018 semester. I know it is going to be so hard especially working full time and going to school, and raising a family but anything is possible! Good luck to all you ladies (and gents)!!!

    It's not completely impossible HOWEVER, nursing school is a full time job itself and is VERY demanding. Clinicals/classes can be M-F 8:30-4:30 and that is without study time for those classes. And most wedding venues and ect. Only have visiting or touring hours during the week. We got engaged Sept. of this year and I graduate next year. Our wedding is Summer of 2019 so that I can finish up first. Best of Luck!

    I'm currently in nursing school and planning my wedding! I won't say its easy but its doable, you have to be able to manage your time well and have a FH who is willing to help out! We also have decided we won't do a honeymoon till the summer after our wedding when I have a break from school. Don't be afraid to ask the people close to you for help! Make sure you are settled in school and comfortable before you start planning or it can get overwhelming! Good luck in nursing school and have fun planning!

    My middle daughter is currently an ICU RN/Charge Nurse, has a 6 month old daughter, and is going back to school in January to become an NP all while planning her July 2018 wedding.

    I think it's possible! I'm finishing up my masters in nursing in December and I've been planning since December! We have had several students get married and have babies during the program.

    I'm currently in nursing school and planning our wedding, I try to get most of the planning stuff done during breaks between semesters however it is possible. My FH is a huge support in the whole thing and if school gets crazy, which it does 90% of the time, he steps in and takes over any wedding tasks I need help with.

    I am getting married during my final semester and were having our honeymoon after my final semester as a honeymoon/graduation wrapped in one. SO excited for complete relaxation!

    While I was in nursing school, there were a handful of my peers that were planning their weddings and got married after graduation. So I definitely think it's possible!

    I wouldn t have been able to do it/pay for it/handle it. But to each their own. Once you're a nurse you'll have a great salary, vacation time, and have way fewer mini break downs. But maybe that was just me Smiley smile

    Hi! I graduate in May 2018 from nursing school! I've been engaged since February of this year and we've been planning. It is possible, but we've also made the choice to wait until a year after I finish my program to have our wedding. That has definitely taken a lot of the stress off of us. But you're definitely going to want to and need to focus on school! I honestly couldn't imagine trying to fit a honeymoon in while I'm finishing my senior year. The stress levels for school are high and the workload is very intense.

    My FH is beyond supportive and has been involved with the planning. We've been taking the planning slowly while I finish school. It is possible to do both, but I would definitely say a lot of it would depend on how you handle stress!
