I don't think you could concentrate on your stuides if you will work, considering that you are taking up nursing. I know how difficult the nursing course is because I have two siblings who went to Nursing school.

There are a few ways that full time students can earn some money:
a. Part time work in the university that you study in. Ask your professors for advice, some professors need part time help for laboratory or research work.
b. Tutor the high school kids.
c. Fast food outlets or other shop assistants kind of job.
d. Post your completed courseworks online. You may have to change a bit or break a long coursework into 2 or 3 articles. Some writing sites to consider are Associated Content and Helium.
e. Freelance academic writing at http://academia-research.com/how.htm
This website provides academic writings for high school to doctorate thesis work. You should be able to handle the academic writings up to tertiary levels.

I think you may apply for a scholarship in your school or any
non-profit organization. You may also work on a call center during your vacant
time. Don't lose hope.

For college students, coaching high school students might be a good choice of part time job. They are just from high school, they know these subjects from the point of view of a youngster, which might be easier for the boys and girls struggling their way up in class. And the parents would set for their children a good example with your physical presence in the family.

Hi Friend,
The best thing I can tell you what I did when I was in the same problem. Better is to go for real money as you need the money right now and instant.. I did some home tuitions and group tuition to continue my studies. Best way to earn while study is to teach or provide coaching to your junior classes..It'll not only give you money but also provide you knowledge for your next classes..If you are a good writer and having great command on your subject you can write articles for some sites as well who can pay you money as well.. send me request for those sites link,,

In your situation, I guess you can avail those loading side lines wherein you can send load to your classmates every now and then.. of course, that's just something to add income and not entirely a source to exactly solve your predicament.
Other students would even offer their help on doing projects and assignments to those who have no time doing them and they fairly get money from that. I mean, you make them what they need and you give them what they want. Improves your research skills in the process too. I recall a classmate of mine got offered Php 500 just to make her an interpretation of a poem. I could've done that with ease but, I had more pending matters that time so another classmate of mine took the offer.
Earning online is kind of a slow process so I think its rather difficult to depend on this way. Its better to earn money from real work.
Oh yeah, you can work as a telephone teacher for koreans. Of course, the only thing you have to worry about when you do actually work would be your schedule with work and with your classes.

When I was still in college, I was able to work as a student assistant in my university. As a student assistant I assist on organizing library materials and other publications in the library. During summer, I also tried working on a an eatery for two months.
For the jobs I tried during college, I can say that they are the jobs near me. I find it easier to find jobs around near me. I found my jobs before by being referred by friends and people I know.
You may try having a job online but it may take a long time before you get what you earned. Have you tried this site yet: http://www.freelancewritingcenter.com
All I can say now is you may find it easier to find a job to help in your studies just near your place. You may ask your friends so they can help you find a job. Based from what I read, people find their jobs mostly by being referred by their friends or people near them.

I am an online independent contractor with a company called. Liveops. It is a legitimate company. Check it out on the BBB. I have been with them for almost two years. You make as little or as much as you want. You can set your own schedule. I love the flexibility. Check it out at www.liveops.com. Good luck.

My initial thought for you was to become a server in a restaurant. But then I do not know if gratuities work the same as where you live as they do here. Here many students do that, to earn tips to help pay for many things. But it all depends on how offering tips to servers in your area is looked upon, I know that it is different the world over. Then there is mylot, if you post alot you can earn a bit of money, I learned about Mylot, when researching. You could also try affiliate marketing, where you have a website, best to use a free blogging service like http://www.blogger.com. Then write blogs about products or services, and have your affiliate link in there so you can get a commission if people use that link to pay for the product or service. Most internet sites have an option to become an affiliate, just look to the bottom of the page. You could also look into network marketing, but be careful with this one as a lot are pyramid schemes, and are illegal but some are not. I have a blog that quickly goes over the best way to choose a network marketing company. It's address is http://networkmarketingpillars.blogspot.com/ use it as a guide line to choose a company, should you decide to do network marketing. Best of luck to you in whatever you choose to do! Also, I agree with person that suggested scholarships. You could also try government grants and all sorts of other things to get other people to pay your school for you. Again, best of luck.

Though I haven't much work experience I can give you some advice such as contribute to some papers or magzines;besides, to do short-term sales promotion is a convinent way to make money.I'm a sophomore and I have part-job several times. Once I worked as a tutor and made a lot of money! Since you major in nursing, you may find some job related with your major.

Hey there! So you are from the Philippines. I can help you. The government has funds for students like you. You can go to the city/municipal hall and inquire about it. It will be a big plus if many of your family members are registered voter. You can ask help to the Mayor, Councilors, Congressmen. You can also find a job at DepEd. They accept those even with no experience. I believe their priority are students. So you might wanna try that one out. Ask about it to your city/municipal hall. You can also contact DepEd. You cannot earn enough money online to support your studies. Trust me. It's a long way to go to make good income from the internet. But, you can also try. Just accept my friend request and I'll send you links to earn online. But first do those that I said above. Good luck! I hope that you'll graduate next sem. Have a nice day. Happy posting!!

What you need right now is fast cash. Some online jobs pay you after a month or after a certain project is done. Why don't you try to have your old books rented or sell them if you don't need them anymore. You would be hitting 2 birds with 1 stone (clutter free and earning fast). You can also have a garage sale of some of your old stuff and while doing this start applying or looking for online jobs. By the time enrollment comes you would be ready for your first payment and have some extra cash for school supplies. Then tutor grade school or high school students while studying so you could start saving for the next payment or for some school supplies. Or check if your school offers scholarships wherein you can work at your school and they would cut your tuition in half for doing so. Try exploring within your reach that's the fastest way to earn money. And don't forget to pray! God will always guide you in times like this. Good luck to you!
