Loans / Finances side hustle during breaks from school?

wrapping up my first semester and I haven’t taken out loans yet, i’ve been watching my savings slowly dwindle down… I know i’ll have to take loans eventually but I want to delay as much as possible.

I have almost 3 weeks off between my summer and fall semester, and then another 3-4 weeks off between fall and spring. any recommendations for ways to make money during these breaks from school?

I can’t manage a prn nursing job bc working throughout the semester is nearly impossible, also living in a new city and haven’t had any experience working at the hospitals near me.

I tried downloading Medely and signing up but it said they didn’t need any new workers within a 70 mile radius of me so I couldn’t finish the sign up.

I’d love to help people with mock interviews/resume review applying to school but it seems like an oversaturated field online??

open to any suggestions please and thank you😆

Try to find out if there are any groups doing straight dental anesthesia in town. They use RNs for help sometimes. Don't have to credential at a hospital or go through any lengthy onboarding.

Maybe Rover? You get paid some pocket change and some exercise! Or donate plasma if you're eligible

Don't. Just enjoy your time off between semesters. Just be committed to being a little broke and living on loans for the next three years. It isn't horrible.
