School, work, and family

I'm starting the LPN program in the beginning of February of 2017! I wanted to know how do you juggle being a full time student, Working a full time job and take care of a household paying bills? I know it's going to be a heavy work load but how can you manage?

I didn't work full time through LVN school. I was/am a mom to 3, though. I had a good friend in schoool who worked full time nights as a CNA with more kids than me! I think it worked for her because she's sharp as a tack. She often fell asleep in lecture which frustrated some teachers and some students, but like I said, she was a kick butt CNA, a good test taker, understood concepts and excelled in clinicals.

I was not her. I needed sleep!!!! í ½í¸‚
