Hi all!
Currently, I'm a brand new CNA, and I start LPN clinicals on 9 JAN. My plan is to immediately start a LPN to ASN/RB bridge program as soon as I pass the NCLEX-PN. Let me add that I am a former military medic and civilian EMT.
Here's the question: Once I start LPN clinicals, I'll have weekends and and one weekday night free. I've been offered a night shift CNA job on a med/surg floor at my local hospital, but it would be a slight pay cut from what I am doing now. They say they will be happy to work around my school schedule.
Is the experience I'll gain be worth the stress? Would I be better off staying in my non-med job while in school?
