Can i go to RN school and take Helicopter pilot course at the same time?
M-F is nursing school. Helicopter classes in the weekends. FAA Part 61 Helicopter Private Pilot Certification Requirements For a Helicopter Rating: * Dual: 20 hours of helicopter flight training with an instructor on the Private Pilot areas of operation that includes: * 3 hours of cross-country flight training in a helicopter * 3 hours of night flight training in a helicopter, that includes at least * 1 cross-country flight of over 50 nautical miles total distance; and * 10 takeoffs and 10 landings with each involving a flight in the traffic pattern. * 3 hours of flight training in a helicopter within the preceding 60 days prior to the practical test. * Solo: 10 hours of solo flying in a helicopter on the Private Pilot areas of operation, that includes: * 3 hours of solo cross-country flying; * 1 solo cross-country flight of at least 75 nautical miles total distance with 3 points and one segment of at least 25 nautical miles between takeoff and landing; and * 3 takeoffs and landings at a controlled airport

If your a good multi-tasker.

It's all up to you and how much money and time do you have. Nursing school - you're on a schedule, either the 2-year or 4-year plan. Flight school - it's on your own time, and you don't really have any time limitations and can take as long as you need to complete it - 4 years if need be. All you need to do is complete the check blocks in the list you provided, that is the minimum - you will most likely require more probably 60-80 hours of flight time depending on how often you fly. Learning to fly helicopters can be expensive, and I don't recommend taking out any loans for flight training.

You could, but I would advise against it. The amount of time and effort required to be a competent pilot will cut into your study time for your Nursing program and vice versa. Your Nursing program will require you to be studying during those times you are not in class, leaving you next to no free time. That free time is not going to be well spent trying to cram aviation rules and regs for your license. Your mind will need a little down time and while studying Nursing, that down time is going to be few and far between. A pilots license is much more than just the seemingly simple little list you typed out, so focus on your Nursing first. Aviation will still be here when you finish and get a job to pay for those flight lessons.
