where do you work at? I see all these threads about people working while in the program, I was just wondering what kind of setting are you working in?

Hi,

I actually start my program this fall. I will continue working in home care though. I enjoy that right now and it is great because I can work it around my schedule. I have two small kids, a husband that works nights (4 nights on 4 nights off) and of course school and work. I am hoping that doing home care will also be considered good experience.

My LPN program starts this fall. I've been working for the past 2 1/2 years as a CNA at an assisted living facility, so I'll continue to work there while I'm in school.

I just started LVN school and I work fulltime at a surgery center in the lab. I also have 2 boys 7 and 4. Its been ok so far my husband and other family members help out with the kids. You just have to set time aside study,study,study its doable.

I'm starting my LVN program on July 26th. :yeah: I'm so excited. I have been working full time as a secretary/administrative assistant for three years now. I will continue to work full time while I do the program part time. It'll take longer and no doubt will be hard, but I'm ready for a career change in the worst way.

Good luck to everyone still working full time!

i work in retail. i do about 20-25 hrs per week of working, and schooling is about 40 hours a week, so no time for anything! it's a tough thing to do but i've kept my head up and worked my schedule around when I can study. if you plan on working make sure you have a day to rest on the weekends or something!
