Qub nursing working while studying

Hello, i am nearly finished first year and was thinking of leaving my job. I only work one day a week in a shop. Is it worth it to leave to focus on 2nd and 3rd year? I am doing adult nursing. I am worried that the bursary may not cover all costs.

Thanks.

If you're worried then work with agency instead of in a shop. It's better pay, you can pick and choose your hours so the weeks you have placement and assignments due in you don't work, and then you work and save when you can.
There are plenty of nursing students who work part time alongside the course as many of us can't survive on bursary alone. It's all about being very organised and disciplined with yourself and your work load in and out of uni.
Best of luck.
