I can't balance nursing school and wedding planning

Nursing school is literal hell. I had to get put on anxiety meds during it because I couldn't handle the amount of stress (not saying that is what you should do that's just what helped me). Get a good planner and take it a little at a time. Don't even worry about your showers yet!!

Yes I was trying to balance school, work, kids (including FH) and planning a wedding omg!!!! I was way pass aniexty..I put school off until after the wedding.

A lot of brides plan their weddings while in nursing school, medical school, law school, etc or while working in demanding fields. You'll be just fine. Just learn to manage your time. Also, don't plan your own parties. The only thing you should be planning is your wedding ceremony and reception. The other parties are planned by others IF they offer. If no one offers, then you don't have one. It's tacky to plan them for yourself.

I got engaged halfway through my undergrad in Athletic Training which was a bit crazy. Also why we pushed our wedding back a year since I didn't want to be prepping for my board exams and doing all the last minute stuff for the wedding. I'm glad I did.

If I get into the master's program I'm applying for then I will be getting married between semesters which is awesome.

Consider pushing back if you're feeling that overwhelmed, long engagements are more than okay and will also give you the chance to save more $$

Don't plan your own shower or Bach party you have a TON of time left. Start booking tours at venues, if you like one, put a deposit down and slowly make payments towards it. Same with dj, photographer, food, cake, etc

I finished nursing school, studied my ass off and passed my nclex while planning my wedding. It was stressful at times, but definitely can be done. Using a planner and writing "4pm-6pm study" or "7pm-8pm wedding shenanigans" really helped me break my time up so it wasn't so much. I made myself commit to whatever task I wrote down for those amount of hours. I like things to be written out and structured so it definitely helped me. Not that I did wedding stuff everyday, but you get the idea. Now the studying on the other hand was definitely every day lol

OMG bless your soul. Planning you wedding can be stressful and doing it while in school can totally make you want to pull your hair out. You may want to reach out to someone solely for decor. That way you wont have to worry about doing any work the day of your wedding. Then I suggest breaking everything down into a monthly task. For example this month you find and book your venue... Next month get you save the dates and so on and so forth. There are some things that are unnecessary and you can eliminate like a place cards and seating charts. They are unnecessary and will only stress you out more. And as far as your shower goes I would just pick a restaurant with a privet dining area and then call them and pick a few items off the menu for everyone and have them serve it family style. That way you can control the cost. Good luck and I hope this helps a little.

I am also in nursing school and will not be graduating until December this year. I anticipate taking the boards in either February or March. Due to nursing school, work, and family life but mostly nursing school, I really lagged on wedding planning. Our original date was February 10th, 2018. For various reasons including finances and school, we just decided to push the date back until December 1, 2018 just so that we would have enough time to settling in and save/pay as we go. We also hired a wedding planner to help us since we will be having a destination wedding. If you just have school to worry about, I think you will do just fine. Nonetheless, whatever you do, your support system is key.

A girl in my nursing class who planned a wedding while going through school ended up failing the NCLEX! Nursing school is no joke, I like the suggestion of focusing on school and doing wedding planning during your breaks. Good luck to you! It is hard but totally worth it.

Hang in there! I work full time, nursing student full time (pinning is Aug 9) and wedding planning! Buy a planner and write in your school stuff and wedding stuff and prioritize. Treat the wedding like a pt with multiple nursing dx!

School is more important than your wedding. FH and I did not get married in law school because our performance went a long way to determining the trajectory of our careers and lives now. We've never regretted it and now that we actually have time and money, we can plan the wedding of our dreams.

I was finishing my Masters during wedding plan and DH had just started. It's manageable. Just take it in stride and prioritize. Time flies, DH graduates this summer.
