Work schedule while in nursing school.

Hi everyone! So, I am curious as to what your work schedule is while in nursing school. I don't need full details. I am mainly curious to see what shift at work you prefer while going to nursing school. I am starting nursing school this fall and I am a person who has no choice but to work. I am just trying to get advice on what work shift such as days, afternoons, or graveyard works best with nursing school. And if you want to throw in how many hours you work that would be cool. I am planning on trying at least for 24 hours a week. I hope it's not to much. I guess I will find out. I do apologize in advance If I have duplicated a topic. I don't know my way around the site very well yet. But, I appreciate any advice you might have for me. Thanks!

Depending on how much $$ you need to bring in....Apply for a Unit secretary position or tech position, it pays peanuts but the experience will look great on your resume, and the schedules tend to be super flexible which will work well for your school schedule. Good luck!

I am thinking I may go for the night shift. I am also thinking if I work nights I may just be able to work full time and manage nursing school. I am thinking about it. I am not working at the moment, I do need to find something soon before my savings runs out. My grades are really good in school and I really don't want them to drop. Oh good grief, decisions...decisions...
